About

Following our acclaimed production of ‘Oliver’ and ‘The Addams Family’, Bede’s presents the spectacular musical showcasing the immense talent of our young performers: the School Edition of Les Misérables this Autumn at the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts, Brighton from 10-12 December.

This legendary musical is an unforgettable journey through revolutionary France, where themes of dreams, passion, resilience, love, sacrifice, and redemption collide in an epic and moving story.

You will be spellbound by their performances of iconic songs, from the soaring, powerful anthem of “Do You Hear the People Sing?” to the heartbreaking, tender beauty of “I Dreamed a Dream.” Our young performers have captured the raw emotion and sheer grandeur of this epic tale in a way that is truly magnificent which is further elevated by the inclusion of live orchestration.

Whether you are a longtime fan of Les Misérables or experiencing its magic for the very first time, this production promises to be a moving and memorable event for the whole family.

Please note due to the low band pit, please note that Rows H through M offer the best overall view of the entire stage. Closer seats will still give you a fantastic view of our orchestra too.
