Returning for their bi-annual musical, Good Counsel College and St. Mary's Secondary School present 'Les Miserables' in St. Michael's Theatre from Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th April.

Les Misérables is a musical that was composed in 1980 by the French composer Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto by Alain Boublil, and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. Sung through, it is one of the most well-known and performed musicals worldwide. On October 8 2006, the show celebrated its 21st anniversary on London's West End and became the longest-running West End musical in history. Based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name, it is set in early 19th-century France and follows the intertwining stories of a cast of characters as they struggle for redemption and revolution. The Tony Award-winning score features the song I Dreamed a Dream, sung as a solo by the character Fantine during the first act. The song On My Own by the character Éponine was among the major hit songs featured in the musical.
