Les Miserables Review I had the pleasure to view Cheshire Academy's production of Les Miserables, written by Claude-Michel Schoenberg and Alain Boublilon on Friday February 23 in the Black Box Theatre. Les Miserables starts with a man named Jean Valjean. After serving 19 years for stealing bread, he is released by Inspector Javert. Once he is released he meets a young girl Fantine, a young girl left to take care of a child. Soon after she is forced to leave her child in someone else's care in order to find work to afford the child, she becomes ill.

My main goal was to just get through all the words correctly and for the scene to be over. By the end of this project I was definitely more comfortable performing in front of people. I think the biggest thing i improved on was my blocking. At first i hardly had any blocking and pretty much just read the lines. By the end I feel I did a lot better job at blocking. I include the tab...

1. My character is a teenage girl in highschool. She is a very peppy talkative person, and gets carried away easily. Her voice is soomewhat high pitched but not too much so. 2. She is in the lunchroom talking to her friends about this guy. 3. This momolouge is being delievered because she is really excited. The cutest guy in school who she has a crush on just came up and started a conversation with her. 4. Right before this scene is when the guys is talking with her, still in the lunch room. After this I imagine her and her friends continue to talk about this guy and other thoughts they have about him. 5. All I will need is a desk or table to sit at.
