Meet Our Latest Friend

The Morning Routine with Rocki and Lacey were joined by Damian Kaplan, the musical director from Sacred Heart Griffin and some members of the cast of the upcoming production of Les Miserables.

The show will be taking place on Friday March 21-Sunday March 22 & Friday March 27-March 29. We were joined by Kaden Gholson who plays Enjolraise, Izzy Stewart who plays Eponine, Nate Horstmann who plays Javert, and Mikey Canny who plays Jean Van Jean. This crew was so fun to chat with and we even got to hear a bit of Javert’s quintessential song, “Stars.”

“Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, drama, and inspiration as our talented students present Les Misérables School Edition — a powerful adaptation of the world-renowned musical.

Set in 19th-century France, this epic story follows Jean Valjean, a man seeking redemption after years of imprisonment, as he is relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. Along the way, audiences will meet unforgettable characters including Fantine, Cosette, Marius Pontmercy, and the mischievous Thénardiers.

Featuring iconic songs such as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” and “Do You Hear the People Sing?”, this school edition has been specially adapted for young performers while preserving the emotional depth and sweeping score that have made the show a global phenomenon.

Please be advised this production contains mature themes and subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.”
