Pick Me Up Theatre

It's in its 30th year in London and it's broken box offices records across the world – Les Misérables is the show that consistently comes out on top in polls to find "the nation's favourite musical". All the more remarkable for a show that was actually panned by most critics when it first opened at the Barbican in 1985.

Pick Me Up are staging a youth production of the show that will give York audiences the chance to see some fantastic musical stars of the future in action.

Based on Victor Hugo's novel, Les Misérables tells the story of an ex-convict, Jean Valjean, and his flight from relentless police inspector Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean promises to care for factory worker Fantine’s young daughter, Cosette, he starts out on a dramatic journey of redemption against the backdrop of the Paris Uprising of 1832.

Featuring the songs I Dreamed A Dream, Bring Him Home, Do You Hear The People Sing and On My Own, Les Misérables is the perfect showcase for the incredibly talented younger performers in Pick Me Up's ranks. Don't miss it
