PN Drama Presents Les Miserables

The reviews are in and that first weekend was a SMASH HIT!  Come see our talented students take on one of the greatest musicals of all time!  Tickets are going fast for the 2nd weekend – get yours now!!

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and the Parisian Rebellion of 1832, Les Miserables tells an enthralling   story  of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption.

When ex-prisoner, Jean Valjean (Ben Eiler), breaks parole and agrees to care for the daughter of factory worker Fantine (Ellie Mancina), he is hunted for decades by the ruthless Inspector Javert (Max Case). Along the way, we meet young and passionate student revolutionaries Enjolras (Nico Weaver) and Marius (Jason Koch), lonely but hopeful Cosette (Rosie Coryell), scrappy street urchin Eponine (Trinity Posey) and her conniving parents Monsieur and Madame Thenardier (Jordan Bruner and Sydney Dudley). The story would not be complete without an ensemble of over 40 additional actors and children playing the intriguing array of colorful characters who encounter Valjean on his path to grace and glory.

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score, Les Miserables is a musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 classic novel and remains a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
