South Bend Civic Theatre to Present LES MISERABLES, 7/12-28
By: Kelsey Denette Mar. 01, 2013
Based on the masterwork by Victor Hugo, LES MISERABLES shares the lives of men, women, and children struggling to survive and make their voices heard against oppression and injustice. The odyssey of Jean Valjean from embittered convict to love and redemption has captivated readers and theatregoers for generations. Now, SBCT presents the musical in a homegrown production with area talent.
Written by the musical team of Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, with English lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, the American production of LES MISERABLES premiered in 1987 on Broadway, winning eight Tony awards and popular acclaim. Songs such as "I Dreamed a Dream," "Master of the House," "One Day More," "On My Own," and "Bring Him Home," have entered the musical theatre canon as legendary standards for actors and vocalists alike. The all-star film version of 2012 won multiple awards and brought new audiences to this landmark musical.
South Bend Civic Theatre's production of LES MISERABLES will be directed by David Case with auditions to take place in early May. More information on auditions will follow in the coming months. Performances will take place in the Wilson Mainstage Auditorium July 12-28. Tickets are on sale now at the SBCT Box Office (open 12-6 weekdays); at 574-234-1112 or online at www.sbct.org.
