Does anyone have details of upcoming amateur/semi-pro productions of Les Miserables?

I'm aware of three (Parramatta, Adelaide, Hobart) but

(a) would like to get more detailed information on these, and
(b) figure if it's going to be like last time the rights were released there'll be a stampede of productions springing up. (Do stampedes spring???)

Thanks.
:-)

That's great. Can you say which ones? The last time around there were some pretty impressive productions staged in Sydney.

Well, there over 320 people auditioned for the Catchement Players production in Melbourne and 400 auditioned for the Mayfair Theatre Company's version in Adelaide, so 500 seems to be in a comparable range. :-)
