Kilmarnock’s own Niamh Lee is looking forward to captivating audiences once again, having been cast as Little Cosette in the huge upcoming production of Les Miserables at The King’s Theatre this week.

In collaboration with Pantheon Theatre Glasgow, Glasgow Light Opera Club (GLOC), PMOS, and Theatre South Productions (TSP), The Lyric Club is thrilled to present Boublil & Schonberg’s legendary musical, ‘Les Miserables’ as part of the nationwide ‘Let The People Sing’ project celebrating 40 years of this iconic show.

The project will see 11 community-wide productions of Les Miserables mounted across the UK, with the Scottish performances at The King’s Theatre from April 23 until April 27.

Based on Victor Hugo's timeless novel, Les Miserables tells a powerful story of love, redemption, and revolution, set against the turmoil of post-revolutionary France.

And 10-year-old Niamh describes working on Les Miserables as “a dream come true”.

Niamh has been attracting national attention following her starring lead role as Annie at The King’s Theatre in January 2025, where critics and audiences alike hailed her performance as “exceptional and captivating”.

Niamh is the youngest of three talented sisters, all of whom share a love for performing. But even among such a creative household, her passion has always been evident.
