Les Miserables: School Edition (2009)
The Melton Musical Theatre Company kicked off its 90th Anniversary celebrations with a production of Les Miserables (School Edition.) It is an enthralling story, a great blazing pageant of life and death at the barricades, in political 19th century France. A tragedy of the student revolution and beyond... The story follows the despair and chase of Jean Valjean, from his imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family, his parole and subsequent escape and attempts to form a better life. He is pursued by Javert, police inspector and prison captor. Interwoven are stories of love, friendship and sacrifice through songs ranging from the joyous 'Master of the House' to the haunting 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.'

Comments from our audiences...
WOW!! I had to contact you to Thank you all so much for an outstanding performance Thurs 26th March of 'Les Mis'. I have been a fan of Les Mis for years and have seen it three times in London. I have to confess I wasn't really expecting what you guys produced last night-It was on par with the three performances I have seen in the West End. The production, cast crew, music everything was Amazing and I actually found the fact that it was performed by such talented youngsters somewhat more poignant and emotional. WELL DONE and THANK-YOU!!!
As frequent visitors to London to see Les Mis, after attending the opening night on Tuesday 24th March, we would just like to express our thanks to you all for a fantastic evening. Wonderful voices and brilliant performances. Please pass on our congratulations to all the cast and production staff.
On behalf of all the children supported by Little Hearts Matter can I congratulate you all on a wonderful opening night last night in Melton. I thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm of the performance and it was obvious that a great deal of effort had gone into the production. I hope that you have a wonderful run, and thank you for your support.
