watch the pbs anniversary version...at least they can sing and you can hear them. sat in the balcony and could hear more stage movement noises than the singing. i wasn't impressed, not at all. the whole production from start to finish lacked everything les mis is all about.

SLOW DONE!
We attended our favorite show tonight. I agree with most of
the other reviews. JVJ was awesome, Javert was super.
However, trying to fit four hours into less than three left us
exausted and disconnected from the characters. I saw no
tears, because we never knew Fantine or Epoine..I agree with
an Atlanta review, watch the timeless DVD version at home
with your family.

HURRY! STAY HOME!
OMG, this felt more like a fist fight than a musical!
The tempo of the music was was so fast that I wish I had a
neck brace! And LOUD.... Van Halen is more soothing than
any of this! Stay home and listen to the cast recording and
savor the image in your head of the last time you saw it.
And whatever you do, sit in the back if you must go...
and don't bring the kids... the wine bottle/penis joke was
worn out in the first act, but came back again and again!
Theater is way too expensive to make such horrible mistakes!
The Sardine cane that is the Orpheum is a nightmare and
this show made it worse.
Well, it's in a sea of panhandlers and junk
food. You would have to walk too far to eat anything decent,
and ... bring lots of "spare change" for the walk back. And
we LIVE in
the city. That'll tell you something.

NOT IMPRESSED
You knw, most of the reveiws here sum it up better than I. However, one observation that I will make is that the Orpheum Theatre is not a good venue for the vastness of this musical. The stage is quite small compared to other theatres in SF.The last time I saw this, it was on Geary and it was just stunning. I am starting to have real reservations about the Orpheum projects. Mama Mia was just dreadful this last year. Just my opion, but I won't be going to any more productions at the Orpheum. They are a waste of lots of money.

PALES NEXT TO ORIGINAL
Saw this very cheap production once in Los Angeles in 2011 and
once was enough. I gave it one star for the talented cast but even
they couldn't save this very soulless, mediocre, "re-imagined,"
staging. Nowhere nearly as powerful as the great Trevor Nunn
and John Caird staging. It is actually over-complicated further as
a daft strategy to distance it from the original, resulting in the
flow and impact suffering in the process. The projections can
hardly be seen and amount to a few slides and some video, all of
which is just distracting and not very modern, contrary to what
marketing says. One of those View Finder toy projectors from the
70s could do a better job. The vast revolving stage and huge,
inter-locking barricades of the original were truly high tech and
very innovative even for today. This 25th anniversary staging is
flat, unimaginative, distracting, gimmicky, and the orchestra
sounded canned to me. Saw the original many times, but this,
once was definitely enough.

BAD SOUND, BAD LIGHTING, BROKEN STORYLINE
Took my wife for her to see Le Miz for the first time in Sacramento, CA. I saw the Sacramento production in about 1998 and I was blown away, and I had never even HEARD of Les Miz at that point in my life. I felt the characters, the setting, and the whole story! BUT this production was awful. For one, we could not hardly hear any of the words (the guy in the seat behid me said the same thing and we were about 10 seat back from front) as the general audio was terrible and the tempo was very rushed. Two, the lighting was not good. Three, the sets seemed cheap. Four the music was too loud most the time. And five, the overt sexual acts were unnecessary to the story.... I gave it one star as the performers seemed fine, not their fault. I feel bad my wife had to see this production first.... I'm glad I took her to see Wicked in S.F. a few months ago and it was fantastic!
