Next year marks Les Misérables 40th anniversary, and in celebration of such a momentous achievement, a handful of amateur dramatic groups have been chosen to stage it with a full adult licence of the show for the very first time!
Thespis are already in talks to costume two of the shows, having participated previously in the few that have been allowed outside the West End, and already we can’t wait to see it brought to life!
Our costume set for Les Mis has been meticulously crafted to suit the period as accurately as possible (we adore fine details in our costumes), and that of course extends to period footwear, firearms, necklaces, hats, gloves, dashing revolutionary garb - you get the picture. That does mean it remains, as always, an exceptionally popular show and we would strongly advise that you book well in advance to avoid missing out.
We work on first come first serve basis and cannot reserve any costumes without a contract and the relevant reservation deposits.

Period Costumes
The costumes for Les Miserable straddle not only Regency and the early Victorian period but also social strata with the poorest people reflected in the Lovely Ladies costumes to the richer costumes of the wealthy Jean Valjean and his protégé .
Our costumes for Les Misérables are made to reflect these period correctly with attention to the finer detailing which has become our number one goal. As with all our shows, period footwear is included in all our costumes as well sundry accessories such as appropriate hats, gloves, neckerchief and costume jewellery etc. When you hire the complete show , we also add x 10 period replica musket rifles with bayonet's and 3 flintlock pistols! More pistols can be hired if required.
This is a very popular show and we would advise strongly that you book well in advance to avoid missing out. We work on first come first serve basis and can not reserve any costumes without a contract and the relevant reservation deposits.
Should you be so lucky to have obtain the adult license for this show, we are able to costume both the youth and the adult productions.
Summary.
Set in early 19th-century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his sister's starving child. Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade. This spectacular complete costume set is available to hire complete with footwear / accessories / replica period flintlock pistols & musket rifles.
DIRECTORS NOTES:Les Miserables Schools Edition: Additional Information
The school edition cuts a considerable amount of material from the original show. It is divided into thirty scenes and, although no "critical" scenes or songs have been removed, it runs 25–30 minutes shorter than the "official" version making the total running time about ?2 1/2 hours. A few subtle changes of vocal pitch have been made: "What Have I Done?", Valjean's Soliloquy, "Stars" by Javert, "A Little Fall of Rain" by Éponine and Marius, "Turning", and "Castle on a Cloud" lose a verse each. During "Fantine's Arrest" Bamatabois loses two verses. The song "Fantine's Death/Confrontation" is edited, and the counterpoint duel between Javert and Valjean is lost, as well as a verse by Fantine. "Dog Eats Dog" by Thénardier is heavily truncated. "Beggars at the Feast", is shortened, with Thénardier losing a verse, and the song before it, "Wedding Chorale", is excluded entirely although the rest of the wedding remains in place. Also, the drinker's introduction to "Master of the House" is cut completely
