Les Miserables

This summer some of our Logan River Academy students were able to go to a production of Les Miserables at the Ellen Eccles Theater here in Logan, Utah. Every summer the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theater puts on shows of high quality, so we were excited for the opportunity to expose our students to some great theatre. Before the show the Founder and General Director, Michael Ballam, gave the students an introduction to the play including historical context, information on Victor Hugo and a synopsis of the plot. It made for a long afternoon, but we saw and heard some incredible performances. Some students had never been to a musical production before so it was a great way to get them excited about musicals and theatre, and after the play some students even showed interest in reading the book.
