Day 11 - Final performances

After a successful matinee performance our cast pulled out all the stops for their last performance which was stunning.  Well done to everyone involved. What a show!

Day 10 - Gala Night

While the cast have the day off, the production team are making preparations for the Gala Night.  Canapes and bubbly arrive and we make sure the long room is decorated before our VIP guests, including the Mayor, arrive. Another amazing performance and a standing ovation!

Day 9 - First Performance!

After a slightly later start, cast a raring to go.  Final changes are made to scenes. Production team work hard behind the scenes to stock the bar and prepare for our first audience.

And so 7.30pm comes around and our first performance of Les Miserables (School Edition) at the Rudolf Steiner School begins....and ends in standing ovation. Fantastic first night!

Day 8 - Dress Rehearsal

After a busy day finalising scenes and lighting/sound cues the band arrives for the dress rehearsal.

Day 7 - Technical and Dress rehearsals

Programming lighting and sound for a big show like Les Miserables takes a long time.  Cast begin to run through scenes in costume and make up getting used to using the set. Gradually the technical elements are brought together.

Day 6 - Countdown begins

The countdown begins to the first performance on Thursday.  Cast are not only rehearsing but helping to publicise the shows by handing out leaflets and telling friends on Facebook.  Great publicity from the Hemel Hempstead Gazette helps too!

Weekend Band Call

Some cast were able to join us over the weekend for the band call.  The band are awesome! George Watkins, who is playing the part of Jean Valjean sings 'Bring him Home' .....it's going to be a fantastic show!
