Les Misérables is the world’s longest running musical — a true modern classic based on Victor Hugo's novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time. The multi-award-winning Les Misérables is as groundbreaking today as it was when it first premiered in London in 1985.
In nineteenth century France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter.
Epic, grand and uplifting, Les Misérables School Edition packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The sung-through piece is ideal for a cast of exceptional singers and overflows with melodies that are already standards. Spotlight Kids Company is reimagining these iconic piece of theatre in the round this fall - don't miss your chance to be involved in this one-of-a-kind show!

Composers/Musicals to consider:
- Andrew Lloyd Webber (Evita, Starlight Express, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, and others)
- Claude -Michel Schönberg (Miss Saigon, The Pirate Queen, and others)
- Chess The Musical
- Other Mega Musicals of the 1980's
Once you've chosen your audition cut, you will need to tape yourself singing the song. We will be evaluating your auditions based not only on singing and acting (performance ability) but also the success of your self-tape.
- Is the frame catching from your chest to your head?
- Are you against a blank wall?
- Can we hear your voice clearly over the music?
- Do you look neat and presentable?
- Do you introduce yourself and the song you are singing?
We want to help prepare you for this new world of virtual theatre. Research self-tape examples online or through friends. If you have questions on how to make your audition song and/or self-tape successful, don't hesitate to reach out to us (spotlightkidscompany@gmail.com).
After you find a self-tape you're happy with, you should upload it to YouTube for submission. It must be uploaded as UNLISTED or PUBLIC - if it is private, we will not be able to see it! You can upload from your phone or a computer. Please title your video STUDENT NAME - LES MISERABLES - SONG NAME (i.e. KATHRYN MCMANUS - WIZARD OF OZ - PART OF YOUR WORLD).
If needed, callbacks will be held September 16th and 17th between 6pm and 9pm.
