  • Fabulous production

    by Jacque on 7/16/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Flawless production. I could see it again and again!

  • Theater at it's Best

    by Samiam on 7/16/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    What a glorious, uplifting musical! My 4th time since it premiered in 1985, and it still moves me—the deep goodness of Valjean in an evil world. I love the musical score, and the voices were outstanding. I didn't know the Cadillac Palace and was surprised that the stage is so much smaller than Auditorium for such a big production, but the staging was brilliant, as was the lighting—Jauvert's death scene was a remarkable feat of the illusion of depth and drowning. Kudos to all involved in this thoroughly engaging production. I am still humming “when tomorrow comes.” Theater doesn't get better than this!

  • It was magical

    by Ollie’s Mom on 7/16/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The voices are stunning. I’ve seen Les Miz many times and have never heard a Javert to equal this one. Having seen it so many times, I can tell the staging was different. My guess is the stage was too small for the great sets of the past. The voices make up for it.

  • The best performance yet

    by J. on 7/16/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Third time seeing Les Mis performed. This was the best. Outstanding

  • Too loud!

    by d. on 7/15/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    With such wonderful voices on stage, there shouldn't be a need to over amplify them to the point of distortion. We sat in the Loge and felt the excess volume was uncomfortable. The performance itself was wonderful but it was difficult to make out what was being said.

  • Les Mis delivers!

    by Agent J on 7/15/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    My wife and I love this play. We see it when ever it hits Chicago. The music is great, the staging is awesome and the story a tear jerker. A must see!

  • Left at intermission

    by R. on 7/15/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 2 out of 5

    The venue is great, and the production was good. The musical itself was terrible.

  • Just ok.

    by Jeannie on 7/14/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    I’ll start by admitting that I’ve seen Les Mis about 14 times now. This performance was ok, not my favorite at all. I’m a purist, so I did not like all the phrasing changes and new dramatic pauses that each singer took - so many changes that they were very obvious. Even the font was different when the Les Miserables title was projected on the stage. While all of the performers were talented, they were also not the best I’ve seen. Eponine is my favorite role, but I did not like her voice at all. Again, talented, but I don’t like the sound she gave to the character - very nasal. The set, however, was absolutely phenomenal. It’s construction was brilliant and it was beautifully realistic. With seeing, but not the best one.

  • Fabulous voices and set add to classic play

    by E. S. on 7/14/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    A little disappointed on bathroom out of service in suite-resulted in spending the whole intermission in line, not the suite experience i expected

  • Wow! Spectacular performance!

    by S.Stein on 7/14/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    We thoroughly enjoyed this production of Les Misérables! The talent of the actors was spectacular, the set and the effects were very impressive. They moved along at a quick clip, and the show didn’t drag in the least. We loved every minute. Bravo!

  • Wonderful experience!

    by C. on 7/13/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I loved it! I laughed, I cried. Couldn't believe so much talent could be on one stage. Everybody should see it!

  • 5 stars

    by Jean Ann on 7/13/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    4 th time I’ve seen this show over the past 20+ years and it brings me to tears every time. Excellent production.

  • AWESOME SHOW!!

    by G. D. on 7/13/19Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I attended the June 9 opening night performance. This show exceeded my expectations! The acting was over the top! The microphones and amplification allowed hearing each soloist clearly even when multiple soloists were singing at the same time. The special effects when Jean Valjean saves Marius in the sewers and when Javert dies were exceptional! The orchestra was superb! A Must See show!

  • Great performance

    The play was fabulous I just wish the venue would have a no late entrance policy. The play just started and people in front of us arrived late and blocked the view plus there were people sitting on the wrong seats that had to be reacomodate

  • Gets better every time!

    This was my first time seeing Les Mis. I am always amazed by performances with children in them - these kids are soo talented and it is a pleasure seeing them shine. The whole cast was wonderful.
