California School of the Arts–San Gabriel Valley’s Musical Theatre Conservatory is set to debut its new performance venue with the Southern California premiere of the new musical Gavroche. There will be three performances only at CSArts–SGV Quad Stage on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 7, 8, and 9, at 7pm.

GAVROCHE, a new musical based on Victor Hugo's novel, 'Les Misérables,' with book, music, and lyrics by Bonnie Gleicher, is having its California premiere at the Idyllwild Arts Academy. Idyllwild Arts' theatre department chair, Bonnie Carpenter, is directing the production, whose cast is made up entirely of Academy theatre arts students in grades ten through twelve. GAVROCHE will run from December 3rd-5th.

As in a lot of things, it matters who you know. And at Westinghouse Arts Academy Charter School - a tuition-free public arts school near Pittsburgh - teachers Lindsey Carothers and Jarrett Reiche know everybody. Reiche works for the legendary Binder Casting - which cast the original 1999 Broadway production of 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.'

One of the first socially-distanced shows in America opens this weekend in Stuart, Florida. The world premiere of the new musical GAVROCHE, originally slated for April, opens to 50-percent capacity audiences tonight at StarStruck Theatre.

The Bret Adams and Paul Reisch Foundation has announced the recipients of their special COVID-19 response grants for playwrights, composers, lyricists and librettists who have had a full professional production cancelled, closed, or indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 closures.

StarStruck Theatre presents world premiere the new musical Gavroche. A new take on Les Miserables, Gavroche is from the perspective of the teens and kids in the original Victor Hugo book, starring scrappy street kid Gavroche and his two teen sisters Eponine and Azelma.
