Nicole was picked out of hundreds of other hopefuls to play the lead character Eponine. The 18-year-old has just completed her A Levels at St Michael's. She said: "I have been to see Les Miserables twice in London and absolutely loved it. I have wanted to be in the show from the first time I saw it.

"The audition for the production was a great opportunity for me to meet new people and take part in what is going to be an amazing show.

Kirstie will be taking part in the chorus line of the show. The 17-year-old is studying for a diploma in classical singing combined with theatre.

She has been a part of Moyraverty Arts and Drama society for six years. Kirstie believes this will be great experience for the future as she wants to pursue a career in drama.

The production runs until Saturday, August 14, and tickets, priced 7, are available from www.theatreatthemill.com or by calling 9034 0202.
