Ward Melville Actors Perform a Broadway Classic

Broadway’s legendary musical Les Misérables came to life on the stage at Ward Melville High School when the building’s talented student-actors performed the show at the end of December. The epic story, recounting the struggle against adversity in 19th century France, is one that has become a favorite for all audiences.

Approximately 200 Ward Melville High School students were involved in this year’s production on stage, off stage, and in the pit. They rehearsed for months before the play’s debut, under the direction of Acting, Vocal, and Staging Director Linda Contino; Orchestra, Set, and Technical Director Phil Preddice; and Theatrical Consultant George Loizides.

As the students sang the musical’s favorite songs, including “I Dreamed A Dream” and “On My Own,” the crowd was transported back in time and reveled in the students’ unwavering talent. The students performed nearly flawless shows for three evening performances before packed crowds, and left the audiences hoping next year’s production would be just as wonderful.
