Stunning performance by all
The entire ensemble cast and the orchestra were phenomenal. The set design and direction, especially scenes like Javier's suicide and the sewers, were mesmerizing. Goosebumps, tears, and lots of 'wow' moments prevailed throughout the show. I've seen Les Miz in London and New York numerous times throughout my life, and this performance stands up and stands-out as one of the best I've seen! ... Read more

Unbelievably Moving. Exceed expectations in every way.
This production was by far one of the best productions I have ever seen. From the acting to the stage setting to the vocals to the humor it was engrossing in every possible way. I was quite honestly very sad when it was over. I can't think of a single criticism of this show. I'd go back again in a heartbeat to watch it all over again. We bought our tickets last second, and paid handsomely for them. I feel like I got a bargain after watching the show. I'd pay double for that experience again. ... Read more
