Les Misérables School Edition

Saw this show yesterday. There are no words to express just how good this was. I was honestly surprised by the level of professionalism and talent. Valjean, Javert and Fantine were my favourite performances. I thought their acting and characterisation was well beyond their years. Also loved Eponine. Her vocal performance was flawless.

Cant praise this show and cast enough.

in awe of this cast!
absolutely brilliant. the talent on that stage is unmatched to any other production of les mis i’ve seen.
genuinely felt like i was watching in the west end!
the thenadiers were the highlight of this show for me

Absolutely incredible!
With a cast who genuinely wouldn't look out of place on a West-End stage, you should try to get tickets for this show while they are available. This is a wonderfully produced show that's full of passion and beautifully played, and which rightly drew a standing ovation from the entire audience. Don't miss it!

One of my favourite musicals and this did not disappoint. Saw the show on Sunday. Some outstanding performances including Jean Valjean and Javert who was brilliant and little Gavroche but great performances from all. Laughed with the Thernardiers and cried with Fantine and Cosette, so an emotional journey but totally fabulous.

One of my favourite musicals. An incredible performance - amazing that it is a ‘schools edition’. Captivate always deliver at the fringe.

I loved loved loved this show. The lead performers and whole ensemble were amazing. I cried and laughed throughout. Please thank everyone involved in this superb production. I hope it comes back next year!

What an amazing production! I was able to get a ticket for Tuesday there. Amazing talent across the board. Great kids for listening and taking on board what they were given. I have to say the Main boys in this group were outstanding. Val Jean, Javert, Enjorlas and Marius I believe are the boys in question. Well done boys and girls. Keep the talent and hard work going. - Ellen

Incredible show! I saw on Sunday! This show is filled with so many talented kids! The main male cast all had such well rounded gorgeous voices! In particular the Marius and Enjorlas! Those two boys! such talented actors and singers. One of my first captivate experiences, such talent, structure and organisation is hard with so many kids! Well done! Will definitely be back next time!

Myself and my wife booked to see this again as soon as we saw it at the weekend. In awe of the young cast. Simply outstanding. Javert solid and commanding and Valjean tender and emotive. Both absolute stars. The other parts were double cast and the consistency in quality is remarkable but each performer put their own stamp on it. Favourites for us were both Marius’, Eponines and both larger than life Thenardiers who played it for laughs but had the all important edge too and great chemistry with their other halves. The ensemble pieces really show off all the cast though and what a professional outfit Captivate are. 5 stars for both performances.

Absolutely phenomenal! You won't spend a better couple of hours on the Fringe (unless I suspect at another Captivate peformance!) The main leads were all superb but there wasn't a single weak link within the fabulous cast. The ensemble numbers were spine-tinglingly superb!

An excellent and very moving performance, well up to the standard that I've come to expect from Captivate Theatre. Couldn't fault any of the performers, but for me the standout was Eponine.

Cried, laughed didn't want it to end. Such a moving depiction of a fantastic show. Entire cast amazing and worked together supporting each other beautifully. Brilliant acting great voices.

Brilliant show. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish and tears throughout. Principal cast were all amazing with vocal and acting on par with professional musical theatre actors. Every member of the cast gave a fantastic performance. Well done to the entire cast and crew. Another great Captivate show.

Absolutely amazing show once again from these talented youngsters. A show definitely not to be missed. Saw Les Miserables in London last year and thought this production was as good if not even better. No fancy scenery or backdrops only amazing talent in abundance

Attended Les Miserables earlier today. What a fantastic show. The whole cast of young people should be very proud absolutely every member of the cast gave an excellent performance. Jean Val Jean's 'Bring Him Home' was just beautiful his performance throughout slthe show gave me chills. Fantine was as I imagined, beautiful and tragic. The young actress was simply outstanding both her acting and vocal. Marius gave what may have been one of the best renditions of 'Empty Chairs' I have ever seen performed. I felt every word. Well done also to the young man who played Javert outstanding acting and i really believed his performance. Absolutely stunning vocals by Eponine and Cosette. There were so many special moments in this show its difficult to mention them all. Its hard to believe the talent on the stage are of such a young age.

Massive well done to all and if you have a ticket for this show you are in for a treat. Saw it last year and didn't think it could get better but it most definitely did.

Wow wow wow! I missed out on tickets for this this year and decided I wasn't missing out this year. It was amazing. The singing and acting from people all under 18 is utterly unbelievable and I laughed and cried. It was honestly better than the film and I would thoroughly recommend it if you can manage to get tickets!

Not sure there are any tickets left and if not you have missed an opportunity if so please get one as you do not want to miss this one!!!!! One of the best youth shows I have ever seen……some of the talent wouldn’t be out of place in the west end. What these young people have achieved in the space of just over a week is nothing g short of incredible!!!! Huge credit to Sally and her production team!!! I cried from start to finish and honestly forgot I was watching amateur people all 18yrs and younger!!!! Congratulations all involved you should take all the praise you get!!!!!
