The Owego Apalachin Music Department recently announced the presentation of Les Mis\u00e9rables; School Edition on Feb. 7 and Feb. 8 at 7 p.m., and on Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. in the Owego Apalachin Middle School Theater. Presale tickets are available now at https:\/\/www.oacsd.org\/page\/ofa-musical<\/a> or directly at ofamusical.ludus.com<\/a>.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Come see the students of the Owego Apalachin School District perform in this modern classic based on Victor Hugo’s novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time. Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Les Mis\u00e9rables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption \u2013 a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.<\/p>\n

This epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. One of the central relationships of the show is the ongoing struggle between Inspector Javert and the protagonist and ex-convict, Jean Valjean. Elijah Harris, who portrays Valjean, states that \u201cit has been great learning to play Valjean. He is an ex-convict whose story makes me consider that we should not be defined by our mistakes but rather by our willingness to be better moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Javert, played by Matthew Wood, struggles with the concrete rules of law and order. \u201cJavert has a tough time comprehending that someone whom he feels has been living a life of wrong may actually be in the right. This role has made me think about redemption and second chances, even when my beliefs don\u2019t align.\u201d<\/p>\n

Led by Director and Choreographer Robyn Wood and Vocal Director Megan Burrell, the cast of 44 students from grades seven to 12 has been in rehearsal every day since late October. Music Director Lindsey Williams leads the live orchestra in playing this beautiful and unforgettable score.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am immensely proud of this show; these students have stepped up to the challenge of this very difficult show, both musically and emotionally,\u201d said Robyn Wood.<\/p>\n

Thirteen seniors will take the stage for their final high school musical experience. These students have done a wide range of shows during their school musical careers; from Newsies to Mary Poppins, Mamma Mia! to Shrek the Musical.<\/p>\n

Graham Strolin (Th\u00e9nardier) states that \u201cthis is the most serious show I\u2019ve ever been a part of. Handling the themes in Les Mis\u00e9rables has been a shocking change of pace from past shows and it has given me a new perspective on theater as a whole.”<\/p>\n

Michaela Terry (Eponine) tells us that she \u201cis so excited for everyone to see our show this year! We have all put so much of ourselves into this show and I hope that shows. I am so proud to have this be my senior year show. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”<\/p>\n
