The Charleston Light Opera Guild and the Clay Center are collaborating to produce our largest and most expensive production in the Charleston Light Opera Guild’s 65 year history. 

The London production of Les Misérables has been running continuously since October 1985. The original Broadway production won eight Tony Awards and ran for 6,680 performances, making it the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history.

This is the first time the rights to Les Misérables have been available to amateur community theatre groups!  The Charleston Light Opera Guild and the Clay Center jumped at the chance to produce this masterpiece of musical theatre.

One hundred eighty people auditioned to be in a cast of 72. There is a live orchestra and the sets and costumes are from a major touring company.

Entertaining and riveting, this world famous musical phenomenon is an unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss.
