Waiata Theatre Productions is proud to present Les Misérables, the musical phenomenon.

This is the first time Les Misérables has ever been performed in Central Otago, and possibly the first time the show has ever been performed in an old-school intimate theatre - this means no more squinting to see the facial expressions of the actors from 50 metres away! No matter where you sit, you'll have a full view of the breathtaking performance, a truly immersive feeling!

With a cast of 40 coming from all over the South Island (Alexandra, Cromwell, Bannockburn, Queenstown, Wanaka, Luggate, Ranfurly, Tapanui and Gore) the talent is truly outstanding. Songs such as 'One Day More' and 'Do You Hear The People Sing' will fill the entire theatre with spectacular vocals - bound to give you goosebumps.

This is Waiata Theatre Production's third production since starting up in 2017. Previously they have staged The Mikado (2017/2018 touring production), and Jesus Christ Superstar (2021).

SHOW SYNOPSIS
One of the world’s most iconic and longest-running musicals, Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean, a former convict who spends a lifetime seeking redemption. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and the aftermath of the French Revolution, this timeless story of intertwined destinies reveals the power of compassion and the quiet evil of indifference to human suffering. As Valjean’s quest for a new life carries him into Paris and to the barricades of the Student Revolution, he is hunted by Inspector Javert and the ghosts of his past. Amidst a battle for the soul of Paris, he discovers the true meaning of love and salvation. Performed in over 40 countries and 22 languages, and with a lush, swelling score that features such famed songs as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” and “Bring Him Home,” Les Mis brings Victor Hugo’s revolutionary novel blazingly to life.
