This production of Les Misérables has been decades in the making. For years we had tried to obtain the rights to the musical but had been told a touring production will be coming to Cairo. Only so often is there a cast able to sing and act the show. Last year the opportunity surfaced again and we were blessed. A new high school version had just been released. Even though this show is shorter, it is equally as challenging for our students. The Performing Arts Department was very pleased to finally present this production.
