I just experienced an unexpected treat while eating lunch on Fountain Square today. The Cincinnati Young People's Theatre performed selections from this year's production of Les Miserables. When I first heard the program announced, I cynically thought, "now this should be good." If you haven't seen Les Miz, it is an ambitious production challenging for the most seasoned performers.
What a delightful surprise. these kids are terrific. They have beautiful voices and they performed like true professionals in spite of the traffic noise and sirens in the background.
