“As a huge fan of Les Misérables, I am lucky enough to have seen different productions of the musical in various countries around the world. Last night’s performance was another dimension to anything that I have ever seen before.  I’m going to go as far as saying this is the best production of Les Mis I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe the talent of these incredible kids.”

Jen G – Kidtown Melbourne

 

“YABC has done it again, they have delivered a classic to the stage in what can only be described as a truely professional show….I gave it 5 stars!”

Leigh Drew – Showbiz with Leigh Drew On Casey Radio

 

“It is gratifying to see such a young cast take on a dramatic piece like this and really do it justice…When the full cast sing as one at the end of the final Act, the results of all this hard work is just spine-tingling. The prolonged and enthusiastic standing-ovation showed the company that it was all worth it.”

Jon Jackson – Classic Melbourne

 

“The Young Australian Broadway Chorus’ production of Les Misérables brilliantly spotlights the talents of future stage and screen stars … As a result of Young Australian Broadway Chorus’ presentation last year of  Wicked and my love of Les Misérables’ music, I had high expectations for this production. As a result of the work of the cast and the shows presentation, including the costumes, my expectations were exceeded”

Jenny Burns- Travels with JB

 

“A brilliant new production…great cast and ensemble team of talented performers”  Flora Georgiou – Stage Whispers
