So-So Performance, Unimpressive Set
by gmarie927 on 11/20/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5For the price, I thought the seats were not impressive. We sat in the 3rd row balcony and it was difficult to see parts of the stage. At this venue, I would highly recommend getting seats as close to center as possible. Performance was just ok - Cosette was out-of-tune (ruined one of my favorite songs from the show - Castle on a Cloud). But Epinine and Fantine were really great! The set is very dark and not much to look at. Wicked had a much better set!!! Les Mis is a dramatic show. I've read the novel and seen the show before, so I knew what to expect. If you've never seen Les Mis or read the novel, then keep in mind that it is not intended to be funny or light-hearted. Very serious production - almost depressing. That being said, I absolutely love this show - but helps to be in the right frame of mind.
