Lowestoft Sixth Form College students staging Les Misérables

Following previously successful student-led shows, this year will showcase the well-known musical, with the curtain set to rise from March 12 to 21.

The Student Production Team is made up of of Abi Reeve, Ethan Cook, Jack Bloomfield, Grave Rodgers, Izzy Shreeve, Rion Elmstrom, Freyah Lee and Emily George.

Performing arts student and lead student director, Abi Reeve, said: “I got involved as I wanted to make the show really enjoyable and collaborate with all year groups to showcase the talent of the college.

"Directing is something new for me and this was the perfect opportunity for me to try it.”

Ethan Cook, performing arts student and lead student producer, said: “It was great imagining the show from the ground up and bringing it to life.

"The possibilities were endless and making our vision come to life was really rewarding.”

Katy Beales, Lowestoft Sixth Form performing arts teacher, said: “I am so proud of all of the students involved in this show.

"Between the actors, the backstage crew and the artists and set designers, there has been a collaboration of over 50 students. They really are a credit to the college.”
