Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company's production of Les Misérables underway
The highly anticipated Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company production of Les Misérables is now underway at the Carson City Community Center with 10 performances of the famed international hit weekends through Nov. 24.
Produced and directed by Stephanie Arrigotti, choreographed by Gina Kaskie Davis and conducted by Kevin Murphy, the stage production features a cast of nearly 60 performers and is complemented by a professional orchestra.
Les Misérables is the epic tale of passion and destruction set in 19th century France. Based on the novel of the same name by French poet and playwright Victor Hugo, Les Mis tells the haunting, yet inspiring story of Jean Valjean, a burly thief turned saint who changes his life with the help of a kind bishop. But despite his change of heart, he still must live life on the run as his parole agent relentlessly pursues him. That pursuit unwittingly leads him to a life of redemption and good will when he agrees to adopt the child of a friend, a fateful decision that changes his life forever.
Nick Favero is cast in the lead role as Jean Valjean, whose dark life as a convict is transformed by a saintly bishop after he nearly returns to prison for stealing.
Other cast members include Mark D. Williams as the diligent police inspector Javert, Melody Ricketts as the suffering Fantine, Kirk Gardner and Dianne Hale as the unscrupulous Thenardiers, Andie Anderson as the wistful Eponine, Maria Arrigotti and Andrew Collins as the lovers Cosette and Marius. Cosette Chamberlin and Grace McCully are double-cast as young Cosette.
Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., plus a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Nov. 23. Tickets are $25 or $28 and are available at www.wnmtc.com or by calling (775) 445-4249. Find Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company on Facebook here.
