"Spotlight Youth Theatre's production of Les Misérables: School Edition is impressive. Featuring a talented cast of teens, it uses simple yet effective creative elements and thoughtful direction to bring Victor Hugo's epic story of struggle and redemption to life. The intimate setting of Spotlight's space allows every powerful moment to resonate with heartfelt passion and emotion....Co-directors Marielle Czajkowski and Katie Czajkowski have assembled a group of very talented young actors and singers for this production. All members of the large cast deliver emotionally distinct portrayals with a firm connection to each other under the rich direction from the Czajkowskis. Jake Price gives a powerful performance as Valjean, ...Andrei Igdanes is impressive as Javert, the relentless inspector determined to track Valjean down....The large ensemble shifts seamlessly between roles, and under Ken Goodenberger's music direction, they create a powerful wall of sound that fills the theater with emotion and energy."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
