Les Miserables raises over $90,000 for Beyond Blue

On Sunday August 23, on the set of their blockbuster musical at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney, the Aussie cast of Les Miserables presented a one-off charity concert in support of beyondblue, with an aim to bring more attention and funds to the issues of depression, anxiety and suicide in today’s society – particularly within the entertainment industry.

Beyond Misérables was conceived and produced entirely by cast members of the show, and it was confirmed this week that a grand total of $93,943.19 was given to the charity following the event.
