Les Miserables Reviews

Lisa Simeone from Baltimore, Maryland

SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY

Best version I've ever seen. All the singers/actors are marvelous, but special shout-out to Preston Truman Boyd as Javert. My god, this man can sing. He brought the house down, even with fan favorite Nick Cantrell as Jean Valjean (who, yes, was also great). And the cinematic set, the lighting, the production design all magnificent. Go see this show!

WONDERFUL

This was the third time I’ve seen Les Miz live and have watched video of the original cast and the movie. The cast in the touring show is top notch, their voices perfect. Bravo!

LES MISERABLES CADILLAC PALACE

I have seen this play 12 times over the last 25 years - in New York on Broadway and here in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace. This performance was right up there with the best I've seen. In fact, the cast was amazing, the music was amazing and they drew you into the entire play with emotion. Cudos to this performance. Perfect choices for the cast. Could give it 10 stars.

LES MISERABLES

I can’t believe they are finally coming back to Toronto. I have seen this musical approximately 4 or 5 times with both Michael Burgess and Colm Wilkinson. I absolutely love, love, love the music and when I’m sitting there watching them I go into this other place singing, and crying at the same time. It has not been here since 1997 and I cannot wait to see it again, and again, and again.💗

GREAT PERFORMANCES, LOUSY ACOUSTICS

I have seen many a Broadway show and this was one among equals. The directing was superb, the voices incredible, the sets amazing, the pit orchestra excellent, he acting as good as it comes ... The acoustics were terrible. We had great seats (front row in the mezzanine, or Grand Tier as they call it at the Altria theater) and 50% of the words were mush, especially the choral numbers. This has happened before at the Altria. While the sound was amazing, the language was indecipherable. I should have asked for a refund as all four of us in attendance could not understand the sung dialogue more often than not. But hats off to the performers and the production company, especially the two leads. Their performances were stunning.

LES MIS IN THE DARK?

I saw the truly grand production of Les Miserables years ago so I am probably very spoiled. The biggest problem of this version when I saw it Oct. 23 was lighting. Everything was so dark you could not see the actors very well at all! I understand that this was done in a style which depended on lighting and darkness, but it was WAY too dark. I had trouble telling who was singing as there was not always a spot light on them. I had to search for the singer several times. The sound balance was off for whatever reason. The actors and their singing was truly superb, although I found Javert a trifle jolting in his timing. He also needs to slow down just a bit. Grand voice though.
