Les Miserables - Best musical ever!
Cadillac Palace - Chicago
Les Miserables is truly the best theatrical production ever. Through the years I have been fortunate to see it whenever it came to Chicago, and I hope to see it every time it comes back. I have seen many musicals throughout my life and none compare to Les Miserables. The beauty of the story, the amazing music, and the most powerful presentation that still brings tears to my eyes are what make me the biggest fan ever. I listen to the soundtrack in my car frequently and envision the performance in my mind. Please keep bringing it back - I and many others will be waiting!

Les Mis

This was an amazing performance and show. The crew were wonderful and sang beautifully, and the sets were amazing! I should have bought tickets to see it again! Over a week later, the songs are still ringing in my head, and I can still visualize the show. Awesome!

Amazing performance! Hard to see
Cadillac Palace - Chicago
The performance and everything to do with the play was second to none! The seating was frustrating as I had a head in my view the entire time, so I watched with one eye and did more listening than viewing. But that is to be expected I guess. I'd still go again and just pick different seats.

Absolutely Brilliant
Cadillac Palace - Chicago
Every single person was so beautifully casted. I was in absolute shock. I believe this was my 4th time seeing Les Mis, and this was by far the best production of it. Nick Cartell is the best Valjean I have ever seen, and that performance was definitely a top 5 in the best live performances I’ve ever seen by an actor. Special shout-out to Fantine as well, as her voice blew my away every time she sang a single note. Brava to all involved!

Les Mis - Fabulous - Getting into the Theatre - Poor
Cadillac Palace - Chicago
Les Mis was absolutely fabulous. The cast was great and we really enjoyed the event. The only downside was the Cadillac Palace Theatre. We arrived 15 minutes before the show was to begin. The doors were not yet open and there were many people waiting to get in. We were one of the fortunate ones - we got to our seats (in the dark) just as the musical was starting. Fourteen minutes later, the doors opened for 'late' arrivers. There were so many people that came in during this time that it was quite distracting. These people are not to blame. Why were the doors not open sooner? The web-site says doors open 45 minutes prior to the start of the performance. With only 15 minutes from the time the doors opened until the show began, there was no way to get all of the people in and seated. I hate to take off a star because the show was so great. Unfortunately, the theatre let many people down.
