Les Misérables is Ariel’s major production of the year and will be at The Hawth, Crawley, this November, featuring many students from Ariel’s award-winning Sussex drama academies.

Cllr James Knight said: “Les Misérables is my absolute favourite musical as well as being one of the nation’s most attended shows. It has been seen by more than 70 million people in 51 countries across the world and to have my favourite songs performed for the town’s Twinning Anniversary Gala is fantastic. I’ve been lucky to attend one of the previous showcases by the Ariel Drama Academy in Haywards Heath and been wowed by the performance the students produce.”
