“Do You Hear The People Sing?” Suffield High Students Bring ‘Les Mis’ to Life
The Suffield High School Drama Club is proud to announce its upcoming spring musical, Les Misérables, to be performed by Suffield High School students on March 6 -7 at 6:30 p.m., and March 8 at 2 p.m.
The story follows ex-convict Jean Valjean (played by Junior, Jack Tautic) as he seeks a new life, constantly pursued by the relentless police inspector Javert (Senior, Nayandeep Tummalapally), all set against the backdrop of the 19th-century French student uprising. Les Misérables tells a powerful story of justice, sacrifice and hope. Audiences can look forward to iconic musical numbers such as “I Dreamed a Dream”, “On My Own”, “One Day More”, and “Do You Hear the People Sing?” brought to life through the dedication, talent, and passion of the students.
“Our students have put an incredible amount of work into this production,” said Anthony Ferreira, Musical Director. “Taking on Les Misérables is an ambitious, life-changing experience for young artists. This show offers not only stunning music but also profound lessons on resilience, love, and the ability to change for the better”.
Students have been working tirelessly for months—rehearsing after school, refining vocals, choreography, and staging—to deliver a moving and memorable production. From the performers on stage to the students running lights, sound, costumes, and set design, this production is a true student-led effort.
This year’s performances will be dedicated to the memory of Lyle Pearsons, former mentor and director of Suffield High School, who passed away earlier this year. In his honor, a special donation will be collected during the performances, with proceeds donated to Parkinson’s research in his name.
Tickets will be sold at the door:
$10 for seniors, students, and veterans and $15 for adults.
The Suffield High School Drama Club invites the community to join them for an evening of powerful storytelling, unforgettable music, and a heartfelt tribute that celebrates both artistic excellence and community spirit.
