  • Les Mis continues to charm despite Cadillac tarnis

    by Rubykayak on 10/16/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 2 out of 5

    The theater adaptation of Les Mis at the Cadillac Theater in Chicago passionately presents poetic tenderness and mirrors the human desire for freedom, love, patriotism, justice, and belonging. Despite horrendous looping lines for the restrooms during an all too short intermission to accommodate a full crowd; a playbill focusing solely on the actors and producers but lacking ANY reference to the author, Victor Hugo, and the rich history and culture that inspired the story; and a melancholy casual dress that has permeated our current culture - all made going to the theater an undesireable event. It was well worth seeing and listening to Jean Valjean, played by Nick Cartell, sing protectively to God above for the safe return of Marias, played Joshua Grosso which was, by far, the most ethereal performance I have witnessed after viewing many productions of this classic.

  • Les Miserables was Amazing!

    Les Miserables was the best show I’ve ever seen! Wanted to go back the next day and see it again

  • An experience not to be missed!!!

    by Jacksidekick on 10/16/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    It was an unforgettable experience. I laughed, I cried (more) and felt the love ,pain and misery of the people. Every time I see it I am just as moved. Everyone needs to see it once in their life. I assure you, that won't be enough! I keep the original soundtrack in my car and listen to it frequently. I have for years!! If you can't tell, I LOVED it!!

  • Best musical ever!!

    by Jkmu on 10/16/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I took my 17-year-old daughter to see this musical. We both enjoyed it very much. It did not seem as long as it was because it was so amazing!

  • WOW!!!

    What an amazing cast! Nick Cartell was top-notch as Jean Valjean. The set was lovely as well.

  • Les Miserables was awesome

    by toughasnails on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I have seen Les Miserables five times and each time was amazing. This time was no exception. The voices were strong and unbelievable - I cried at the end even though I had been through it four other times, It was so emotional - the cast was wonderful. A must see!!

  • Les Mis was fantastic!

    Loved everything about this production! I highly recommend it.

  • "Forever and ever..."

    by stets on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This extraordinary musical will last forever...or so it seems. I first saw it 20 years ago, and a few times since, and each time, it feels as though I were seeing it for the very first time. It amazes me that a mid week matinee performance, could draw well over two thousand folks to stand and cheer the magnificent cast and voices, all of whom never cease to show the amount of energy and emotion necessary to produce the dynamic experience for which Les Mis is so well known. Would that I'd bet that 75-90% of the audience are repeat lovers of this musical and were as eager as I in seeing this production once again. It was superbly acted, thorough in presentation of its professional voices, and wonderfully staged, all in contributing to the magic that Les Mis delivers.

  • Wonderful performance of a classic

    by SoCoKat on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5

    The entire performance was artfully done; i.e. set design, lighting, costuming and, oh yeah, lets not forget the orchestra and performers themselves. Not a weak one in the cast. "Ebony" would be my favorite. So glad I was able to share the experience with my daughter and her b'friend on my first visit to Chicago. The theater is beautiful. When booking the tickets, I was concerned about sight lines. I shouldn't have. There didn't appear to be a "bad" seat in the house. The only down side was the (apparently unattended) group of children (age 12-13?) seated right behind us. It took away from our ability to enjoy the performance, and it was obvious that the story line was too much for them to take in. Love teaching kids about theater, but this "teaching moment" was lost.

  • Not worth the money

    by Lesmis6 on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    Although a wonderful musical, performers flew through the songs and scenes so fast that had you not known the story, no way you would have been able to follow the story line. Scenes, special effects, Music and vocals were amazing as always, but our friends who we invited couldn't follow the story at all. Performers need to slow down and ensure audience knows what they are singing/saying. We were center orchestra row P...

  • Les Miserables

    by IPepper on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    The cast of this memorable/remarkable play were excellent. The orchestra performed the score beautifully. Having attended the performance of Les Miz many times before in both London and Chicago, I was very pleased with this engagement. Warning: Dress appropriately for a very cold theatre. Patrons were complaining without any results about the temperature in the Cadillac Palace theatre. It was very uncomfortable.

  • Run!!! Don't walk!!

    by LesMisaddict on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Ok.....In all honesty, I have to admit that my wife and I are Les Mis-oholics! She even has a 24601 tattoo on one wrist! That said,run! Don't walk to see this rendition of Les MIs!! The combination of great staging,absolutely amazing voices and orchestration and (of course) the wonderful story makes for a great evening out. We flew from California to see 3 performances of this classic and I would be hard pressed to say that one was better than the other. They were almost flawless! If you want to enjoy a beautiful and uplifting story told via music lovingly delivered by the cast, I say Run...don't walk! Chicago only gets this Broadway worthy cast until the 29th (I think)! To the cast and crew....Thank you doesn't begin to cover it! Keep up the great work and we"ll see you in Seattle....maybe Indianapolis too! PS...... The Cadillac theater is pretty amazing too!

  • Chicago Cast is Outstanding!

    by NormalRoches on 10/15/17Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This is my favorite play. So hearing it off Broadway was expected to be different. The cast put a nice mix of emotion and personally in their characters. It was a pleasure to introduce the musical to my children and we all hope to go see it again soon.
