Les Miserables
presented by BATS Theatre Company at
The Events Centre, Minchinton Street, Caloundra
This international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world.
In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust & mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life & saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean’s adopted daughter. His world-view shattered, Javert commits suicide, & Valjean at last attains the peace he has sought for so long.

Epic, grand & uplifting, Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The sung-through pop opera is ideal for a cast of exceptional singers & overflows with melodies that are already standards. A spectacle on Broadway & in London, Les Misérables is equally effective with a minimal set; it is its powerful affirmation of the human spirit that has made Les Misérables a popular masterpiece.

Ian Moss & Jon Stevens
‘Let’s Get Together’ Tour
The Events Centre Caloundra

They blew audiences away when they took to the stage together during their memorable “Six
Strings and The Works” tour.
Now, two years later and hot on the heels of their respective national tours, Australian rock legends
Ian Moss and Jon Stevens get together again to play major venues around Australia in March and
April 2008.
Promoting the release of his acclaimed CD "Let's All Get Together" (which celebrated a Top 50
debut in the ARIA Charts), Mossy has just completed a sellout tour of theatres across the nation.
Stevens, currently working on new material for his next album, has been playing to packed houses
with his solo shows and with the recently reformed Noiseworks.
Now, the Moss & Stevens – Let’s Get Together tour will see two of this country’s most powerful
vocalists join forces for an unforgettable concert experience. Fans will be treated to solo
performances of Chisel and Noiseworks classics, as well as some favorites from Moss’ and
Stevens' solo careers.
But it’s not all about solo performances. This tour has an all-star, multi-Platinum line-up featuring
very special guests, Jack Jones giving audiences a fresh taste of Southern Sons hits, and the
inimitable Tania Doko who will revive some much-loved tunes from her former multi-ARIA
Award winning outfit, Bachelor Girl.
Not only do we have four of the finest voices in Australia delivering their classics on the one stage;
Moss and Jones are arguably two of this country’s most revered guitarists and collectively, Moss,
Stevens, Jones and Doko have sold millions of albums around the world.
Moss and Stevens – Let’s Get Together tour promises to be a not-to-be-missed event of on stage
jamming with four rock ‘n’ roll greats.
Tickets: $55
