Les Miserables Reviews

Christine from Cleveland, Ohio

THE BEST PRODUCTION YET

I have seen Les Miserable before, but this was the best production to date. No other show featured an entire cast with such perfect voices. Valjean and Javert were the best I have seen. I loved this production and was pleased to take my husband to see the Cleveland performance as his first Les Mis viewing. Highly recommend

JUST WONDERFUL

I cannot believe the criticism of this remarkable production. We left the theater completely drained emotionally. The performers put their hearts into every word, every action. The seats were fine, except I always manage to have a tall person in front of me. ( I'm 4'10). We are from Pennsylvania and the theater was truly beautiful, the staff helpful and friendly. I would go again if our vacation wasn't ending soon. Valjean, Javert, such dynamics between the two. Little gavroche, powerful. Eponine displayed such feeling.. Poor reviews for this play are hard to fathom. Credit should be given to performers who have brought to life the greatest literature ever written.

LES MISERABLES, A TRAGIC AND BEAUTIFUL STORY...SUCH IS LIFE.

What a visually stunning, tragic and beautiful story... and what an overall, Magnificent Performance! Les Miserables, is a must see.

AWESOME!!!

I saw the production on a tuesday and convinced my family to buy tickets so we could see it again. It is PHENOMENAL. The set is very creative and modern, and the orchestra did a fantastic interpretation of the score. The actors were really good and had amazing voices, especially Enjolras and Javer. They are also nice people, and give autographs and pictures whenever. I wish I could have seen it a million more times. It's too bad they're leaving today...

WHY IS IT SO LOUD?!?!?!!

Great--now that we have the technology to put a microphone on the forehead of everyone in the cast, we have also apparently decided that a musical play has to be presented at the same volume as a rock concert. The volume level is totally painful to the ears, not to mention the distortion that comes with turning up a sound system beyond its sweet spot. The sound engineering team should be ashamed for ruining such a great production. Whatever you do, bring ear protection!

BEST SET, LIGHTING, VOICES, ORCHESTRA!!!

My wife has seen Les Mis about 6 times and I have seen it 4 times now. This is one of the best shows I've seen. The orchestra was great! Wish I could play the trombone-tuba part in this. What a blast! Voices were very well balanced with the orchestra... Hats off to the sound crew! We thought this was a little different version as we noticed that the solos were much more free/rubato than we've heard before. It allowed the soloists to try to be more natural and dynamic with the words, vice a strict tempo. Nice job. Loved it. This is a great tour group. Nice to see musicians traveling with the tour.

IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!

I've seen this play multiple times in Boston and London. i've loved it every time. I'm really glad I went tonight and think everyone should see this timeless musical. The new production, however is not even close to the original. Fantine's voice is so weak in the beginning of the play. It didn't grab me. In the original version, even when she was dying and singing softly, there was a strength behind her voice. Near the end, she belted out her words, moving the audience to tears. In the new version. I sat, mouth open, feeling completely let down. Where was the power? The rest of the production was pretty good. They all have beautiful voices, but I felt that many times the singers were holding back instead of grabbing the audience with their wonderful voices. Was this because of the new director? The original has been around for two decades for a reason. Bring back the beauty of the original.
