Step into one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Set against the backdrop of revolutionary France, Les Misérables is an epic story of redemption, sacrifice, justice, love, and hope. From the soaring power of I Dreamed a Dream and On My Own to the unforgettable anthem One Day More, this timeless musical offers extraordinary opportunities for performers of every age and experience.

 

We are seeking a passionate, diverse company of actors, singers, and storytellers to bring this iconic production to life. Whether you're hoping to tackle a principal role or join the powerful ensemble that forms the heart of the show, we encourage you to audition.

​

The people may sing of tomorrow... but it all begins here.

​

While not a traditional Christmas musical, Les Misérables contains one of literature's most memorable Christmas stories. On Christmas Eve, Jean Valjean rescues young Cosette from a life of abuse, setting in motion a story of compassion, redemption, hope, and the transformative power of love. It's a beautiful reminder of the spirit of the season in an unexpected setting.

​

All performers must be available for all technical rehearsals and performances. A complete list of conflicts must be provided at auditions.
