A cast of nearly 60 performers has been selected for Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company’s production of “Les Misérables” in November.

WNMTC will present 10 performances of the famed international hit on weekends, Nov. 8-24, at the Carson City Community Center.

Nick Favero has been cast in the lead role Jean Valjean, whose dark life as a convict is transformed by a saintly bishop after he nearly returns to prison for stealing.

Other cast members include Mark D. Williams as the diligent police inspector Javert, Melody Ricketts as the suffering Fantine, Kirk Gardner and Dianne Hale as the unscrupulous Thenardiers, Andie Anderson as the wistful Eponine, Maria Arrigotti and Andrew Collins as the lovers Cosette and Marius. Cosette Chamberlin and Grace McCully are double-cast as young Cosette.

The production is complemented by a professional orchestra. It is produced and directed by Stephanie Arrigotti, choreographed by Gina Kaskie Davis and conducted by Kevin Murphy.

“Les Mis” is the longest running musical in the world.

Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30pm, with Sunday matinees at 2pm, plus a 2pm matinee on Nov. 23. Tickets are $25 or $28 and are available online or by calling 775-445-4249.
