In January 2019, the Young Australian Broadway Chorus will mount a new production of the world’s most popular musical LES MISÉRABLES.
Following its acclaimed youth production of WICKED in 2018, LES MISÉRABLES will be presented with a cast and orchestra of young performers, and play at the National Theatre, St Kilda, Melbourne for 10 performances, January 18 – 27, 2019.
This is an amazing opportunity for talented young performers to experience the intensive rehearsal process that goes into creating a major musical production, as well as the thrill of performing an iconic work like LES MISÉRABLES.
The rehearsals and performances will take place in the school holidays in December 2018/January 2019.
