“Les Miserables,” the critically acclaimed musical, will come to Norman in March, courtesy of the Sooner Theatre.
But this isn’t the everyday production — what makes this production of the musical unique is that the cast is made up entirely of high schoolers.
“We knew that we were going to perform it with a full cast of high school students,” said Nancy Coggins, Sooner Theatre’s development and marketing director.
“It is difficult to get the rights to perform 'Les Mis,'” Coggins said. “They do offer limited rights to be able to perform that production with students. Every cast member in the show has to be in high school or lower.”
Age, however, is no indicator of the talent represented in the production.
“Any audience member that comes to see this production is going to be impressed with the amount of passion and talent that the kids leave behind on that stage,” Coggins said.
Tickets are now on sale for $15 on the Sooner Theatre's website. The musical will run from March 7 through March 11.
