    Those kids are awesome, stunning, amazing. Literally chills. It can be seen that those kids have a lot of potential and let’s face it Les Mis is hard as hell to sing properly and hit every note. It’s obvious that their voices are not yet fully developed and we can’t expect teenagers to have voices of fully grown adults.
    Anyway their performance was stunning and I absolutely loved the dancing additions. The idea to make Javert and Valjean reconcile after their deaths is something I always missed in the original show and I am glad that someone finally did it. The Grantaire part during the ABC Cafe pure comedic gold. I am surprised no one has really done such things before. Whoever directed this show made a lot of amazing decisions which made watching this musical different than every other high school edition… I wish all the best to the actors and everyone involved in the production of this musical ❤

    Hi! I just stumbled into this.
    I'd like to say that Fantine's progression on I dreamed a Dream is *chef's kiss* EVEN with the pre-recorded songs and speacilly with their teens (they look like teens, at least)
    Val Jean has a powerful voice and I lowkey wanted to see him as Javert (stars would be interesting)
    Master of the House is a banger, always a banger (idk about the tiktok dances, though). Highlight to Ms. Thenadier that got a bit metal by the end of it, I liked the female rage of having a sub-par husband, fits.
    Eponine is awesome, that's all. Perfect casting
    Marius and Cosette are love, they are life.
    Congrats to everyone involved, great job!!

    I am a big fan of Les Misérables and have seen it professionally staged four times, viewed the 10th and 25 anniversary concert productions as recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London, and watched the movie version plus videos of at least 25 school productions. It is a huge project for a school to mount and most, as as one would expect, are like curates egg's, a mixture of good and bad. I regret having to say I found this one absolutely awful, with almost no redeeming features.
    So let me point to one of the very best school productions, albeit available only in fairly low quality video. It was produced in 2013 by the Royal Grammar School, Wycombe, England (tuition free, as is your school). It is an all-boys high school and included girls from three other schools in the surrounding area. The video is easily found on UA-cam. To illustrate just one example of superior acting and singing, take a look at the fine performance of "On My Own", which carries genuine emotion. In my view the failure of the ALA production rests primarily with the direction rather than the students.

      I'll assume since you don't have any content on your channel that you don't know what you're talking about so I'll just give you a pass. But since you seem to think you know what you're talking about I'll go ahead and respond to your ignorant comment. First of all, we are a small school and we don't have the student population to take on such a musical with a live band. And even if we did there's no way a high school band would be able to do this justice. It would have been far worse than the pre-recorded music. Second, we don't have the money to afford a professional band. And third, and most important, when we purchased the rights to perform the musical, which is a stripped down school version by the way, we are given the script with the cuts and the prerecorded music. So the music is from the OWNERS OF THE MUSICAL! If you don't like the pre-recorded music then go talk to Les Miserable themselves. Good luck with that. And finally, how about you recognize the effort that these CHILDREN put into one of the hardest musicals of all time and quit your keyboard warrior comments and go back to playing your video games or whatever else you do. These kids did an incredible job and I'm proud of them even with pre-recorded music. Go troll someone else.

      Lots of small theaters use canned music, especially for new works. Without it, many good musicals would never get performed and there'd never be a chance for them to become something bigger.
