Multi-award-winning company Get Your Wigle On are staging a production of Les Misérables exclusively for students - and they're looking for performers to take part.

The musical theatre company, who recently launched their second studio in Shrewsbury town centre, are now opening their doors to budding young performers who might wish to be a part of the extraordinary show.

Les Miserables has broken records with both its West End and Broadway productions and has also been made into a feature length film starring Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman. The show is packed with fantastic roles and is the perfect showcase for singers with a score filled with musical theatre staples.

The highly anticipated production will be performed by a Get Your Wigle On Teen cast at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn in the October half term 2023. The company are keen to welcome new talent to their ever expanding company and are looking for strong singers aged 8-18 to join their ranks and take on this thrilling project.

The show includes music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, such as I Dreamed A Dream, Master of the House, Do You Hear The People Sing, and On My Own. Christian Lugtu, who works as a Musical Theatre Tutor and Arts Coordinator for the company said “We are over the moon to have secured the rights for Les Misérables. It’s an incredible opportunity for a new generation of young performers to sing in such a powerful show, and we know there’s going to be a lot of buzz round this production. It’s such a favourite.”

Get Your Wigle On have been training young performers for over ten years and have produced members who have gone on to perform professionally. Tom Morgan and Ahmed Hamed were in the companies 2016 production of Les Miserbales and have gone on to grace West End stages.

The company are currently full steam ahead in their rehearsals for Titanic the Musical which will take to the Theatre Severn Stage in February, tickets can be purchased here.
