I was fortunate enough to see the Les Misérables cast and crew in action three weeks before they go on stage, as I was moving to Christchurch.
The show was full of energy, emotions and talented singing. The cast give everything, bringing a life of its own to this epicmusical.
I felt it all, leaving me in tears and full admiration for a brilliant performance by all. I remember thinking to myself, “they are stage-ready” NOW!
It’s a MUST-see, so much talent.
All the very best, my dear theatre family. As I head southbound to Christchurch, I want to say it has been a privilege to work with you all.
