Sorry I missed this HS show, too, Les Miserables at Grand Ledge High School. I focus on promoting community theatre, not high school... and I don't have official contacts at the high schools. Once I mention one, I try to be fair; they are all doing some fantastic shows. (I WAS wowed by last year's Phantom; apparently that was not a one hit wonder.) Here's a mini review by Jan Lockwood.
"I don't know if you talked about this show, currently being done by Grand Ledge High School. It's about over, with a performance tonight and maybe tomorrow, I'm not sure. And it's probably sold out, justifiably sold out. It was truly amazing, Jane. To see high schoolers with that kind of talent is just mind boggling. The principals were stunningly good but no one was weak. Bill Henson took me; a number of his private students had lead roles and they were wonderful - they had even dedicated a page in the program to Bill which I thought was very touching. The orchestra was terrific, the sets and effects were terrific. If there is a better high school musical theatre program in Michigan, I would like to know where. Such a pleasure."
btw - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat continues at Okemos High School
