After months of hard work and dedication, the cast and crew of Verrado High’s theatre finally hit the stage to perform the hit Broadway musical, Les Miserables.  The Verrado auditorium was filled opening night, April 24th. 26th,  The seats were packed every night, especially on the first day when crowds of Verrado students and families swarmed in to buy tickets and find the best seats.

The actors’ performances were absolutely incredible, with many talented singers astounding the audience. They truly have wide vocal ranges and amazing acting skills. 

Not only were many high school students showing off their immense talent on stage, but multiple children played important roles in the production. This made the musical stand out from all the rest and viewers of the production adored the overall performance even more. 

In addition, every aspect of the production of Verrado’s Les Mis perfectly fit the original musical. The costumes suited the timeline, the sets were astonishing, the props were chosen carefully, and so much more. 

The large set seen during the performance has also been used in other Verrado High productions. The double-staircase balcony was used not only in Les Mis, but also in Mean Girls and Jekyll and Hyde.

All of the cast and crew brought their individual talents to the table to form arguably Verrado High’s very best musical performance so far. 

Audiences saw many familiar faces on the stage such as Gabriella Chavez (Regina in Mean Girls), Michael Myers (Jekyll/Hyde in Jekyll and Hyde), and Charlotte Wolter (Cady in Mean Girls) in the musical. Based on the performances of these actors and others, it is clear to see that the cast is carefully formulated to make sure they can all work well together. 

To add, the stage crew did their job flawlessly. Never missing a cue or a mark, being swift when moving sets/props. It definitely can be a difficult and stressful job, but they did more than just pull it off. 

Verrado High School’s Les Miserables completely blew the audience away. Many people posted online about how great it was, and even people in person talked about how amazing the show was. This performance was revolutionary, no pun intended, and an absolute job well done.
