Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed production of Boublil and Schönberg's Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, LES MISÉRABLES makes a triumphant return to Chicago. This brilliant staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as "a reborn dream of a production" (Daily Telegraph).
Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, LES MISÉRABLES tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of LES MISÉRABLES includes the songs "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Bring Him Home," "One Day More" and many more.
The new production mixes the beauty of the original show with stunning new arrangements and backdrops that integrate Victor Hugo's art. I was floored! See this show if you can!
The production I saw in L.A. was so much better. This production seemed rushed and many songs were difficult to understand given the lack of articulation. The actors seemed very uninsprired. I feel it was a waste of my money this time.
Beautiful music and the new production is fantastic! As good as the one I saw in London a few years ago.
Love every second of the show!!!. The cast was perfect in way if acting and singing. The props were done very well and the whole show came together flawlessly.
Beautifully done. Interesting changes to the production (orchestration, sets, etc.) Wonderful and moving cast.
This was by far the best rendition of Les Miserables I have ever seen. Unreal the display of talent. I was moved beyond words!!!
This was my first time seeing this being performed live and it didn't disappoint. I especially liked the sets and how elaborate they were. I would definitely recommend this performance, you won't regret it.
Best production I've seen. The voices were exceptional. Not a dry eye in the house.
I first experienced this with my daughter in New York 20 years ago but my husband wanted to see it for our anniversary. The music is powerful and you easily drawn into the characters and their lives as the story unfolds and the decades go by.
Les Miserables is my absolute favorite musical, and I loved the opportunity to see it again after almost 20 years. The actors were awesome, especially Fantine, Eponine, and The Priest (I wish he was in more scenes). I had a lot of difficulty understanding Javert...he spoke very fast in several scenes, and it was really tough to make sense of what he was saying. He has an amazing voice, very easy to understand during his solos...but too much of what was spoken was not understood.
My sister accompanied me to this production of Les Miserables. After the last curtain call, I turned to her and said, "now you know why I've seen this play 16 times!". When it's done right, you'll never experience something so inspiring, filled with raw emotion. It was like I had seen it for the first time! The vocal talent of every character was perfect. I don't believe I've seen Jean Valjean portrayed better than Peter Lockyer's. The translation of the lyrics was dramatized as never heard before. Too often, some of the lines are muffled or lost due to an inferior sound system. How many of us have run out afterwards to buy the CD in order to hear the lyrics that were missed or misunderstood? Not the case this time! This was truly a memorable performance, accomplished by every member of the cast and crew. I've seen some excellent Les Miz's in my time, but I can't say any were better than this. Kudos to the director, production crew, the set design...so effective!, and of course, the cast. They took an amazing piece of work that's been around for 25+ years and made it fresh and new! My one regret is that it isn't here long enough so more can enjoy this spectacular event...I would certainly be seeing it again...for the 17th time!
The show engages you from the moment it begins through the final bow. You will laugh, and you will most certainly cry. The singing is always top notch, as are the technical aspects of the show. I will continue to see this show as it tours through Chiago again, and again, and again.
A very good performance, although given the nature of this musical, (very few if any spoken words) you must rely on being able to understand the words sung to understand the story. I felt that it was a little difficult to understand the words to some of the songs, but overall I was very satisfied with this production.
Very well done. We look forward to our next Broadway show in Chicago.
The songs were beautiful! The cast was amazing! Some parts were a little longer than necessary.
Everything about Les Miserables was wonderful! The actors/singers were fabulous. The scenery and scene changing was amazing, really masterful.
From the sets to the unforgettable voices, Les Miserables brought me back in time and gave me a performance I will never forget!
This is the 4th time I have seen this show and it was still amazing. The staging was incredibly clever. The performers outstanding. I wish it were here longer so more people could have time to see it.
Third time we have seen the play and this was the best. Couldn't stop talking about it. Voices were outstanding, lots of tears shed as we watched the play. Superb acting.
This production even better than 20 years ago - super!
