THEATRE lovers in Oxfordshire have an opportunity to see Les Miserables for just £12.

And it is a performance with a difference.

The stars, who are almost all aged between six and 19, are members of Bladon Junior Methodist Church.

The church puts on a show each year and this year decided to up its game.

Church volunteer Henry Manuel, 32, a teacher from Oxford, stepped in to play the lead role of Jean Valjean.

He said: “It is definitely our most challenging performance yet.

“Les Mis is one of the greatest musicals of all time, and it is not often you will get to see it for £12 a ticket. You would be crazy to miss it.”

The show is on every night this week at Bladon Methodist Church, with a few tickets left for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights.
