RTSA was founded Dee in 2002 and is a group for youths aged eight to 21.

The group only work with professional scenery, orchestra and production teams who ensure that members are trained, guided and mentored so they can excel either through pursuing a career in performing arts or continuing with it as a hobby.

Musical director Matt is a professional musician in South Yorkshire and further afield who has worked with many of the local amateur dramatics groups across Yorkshire, in addition to teaching music at performing arts and dance schools.

A spokesperson for RTSA said: “The talent of our students is phenomenal and under the direction and choreography of Dee and Matt, is a must-see!

“Les Misérables is a much-loved musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michal Schonberg, based on the novel by Victor Hugo.

“The show is performed entirely by students, under the age of 18 years old but the talent is amazing.

“Many are sure to become the next generation on the West End.”
