  • This is the Reason this Play has lasted 25 Years!

    by FanBasia on 11/19/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The Venue was Beautiful, Organized, and Comfortable.My first time at the Cadillac Palace and will not be my last time. The Tour was a blend of some of the most talented performers ever. Do not miss this. My sister in California envied me...and when we looked up the tour destinations,,there were none within 5 hours from her....Mostly East coast. We were lucky to have them stop in Chicago. Worth Every penny. Stage settings...spot on...Visually perfect for conveying the message of Battleground and trudging thru sewers...All in all An A PLUS......Will go one more time before they leave. And that will still Not be enough...Standout performance by Max Quinlan who played Marius..who was second only to Michael Ball.

  • Les Mis was AMAZING!!!

    I have seen many plays - mostly in Chicago where I go with a girlfriend. This was by far the most amazing theater production I have ever seen!!! The talent was incredible and I would go again in a heartbeat.

  • Not the best "Les Miserables" I've seen

    by BaboM on 11/18/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5

    This is the eleventh time I've seen "Les Miserables" in the many years that national tours have passed through Chicago. It's my favorite musical play. For me, it lost something when it was downsized and lost the dramatic effects of the turntable and the huge barricades. The current "mini-barricade" suffers by comparison and its inability to offer the audience views of both sides (due to the missing turntable) causes the scene to lose much of its former impact. Of the main characters, the singing was mixed. Andrew Varela (Javert), Jason Forbach (Enjolras), and Briana Carlson-Goodman (Eponine) all possessed fine voices and sang their parts in thrilling fashion. Betsy Morgan was quite good as Fantine. Max Quinlan as Marius was adequate, but Lauren Wiley as Cosette had a soprano that reminded me of Minnie Mouse. All in all, however, Les Miz is always worth seeing, for its chilling, thrilling moments and for its soaring music.

  • Best Les Mis ever!

    by SchnucksCat on 11/18/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Les Miserables 7 times now...once at the Muny in St. Louis, 5 times at the Fox in St. Louis (the previous national tour), and this is my first time seeing the new version of the tour. It was absolutely amazing. I won't tell you what the changes are since part of the joy was discovering them myself, but as a diehard Les Mis fan, I was not disappointed. My boyfriend accompanied me. It was his first time, and he had no trouble following the story without reading the synopsis first, so I recommend not learning anything about it ahead of time if you've never seen it before. He loved it as well...it's quickly become his favorite, and he's bought the CD and plans to read the unabridged book. Just a testament to how much people love the show! The casting was the best I've experienced, and I particularly would like to compliment the actress playing Fantine. She had a stunning voice, yet she didn't let that stop her from seriously acting the part, going from dignified to crazy. She was much younger than I'm used to, which I think is more loyal to the book and more realistic, and also more heartbreaking.

  • Amazing

    This was an amazing performance, the staging was brilliant ! I brought someone who had never been to a professional show and this was the perfect introduction. She will be hooked for life.

  • Les Miserables was amazing

    by Totarski on 11/18/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Not the stage show we saw in 1989 at the Auditorium Theatre, but it was wonderful!

    This was an unforgettable night! Les Miserables is an incredible musical.

  • Amazing set, great singing, really good acting

    by Greatfromasceptic on 11/18/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I thought this would be a depressing play with a somewhat good ending. Instead, it was a really good story - not depressing at all. Not a fan of straight musicals, but this was different - I wasn't bored, the singing wasn't overbearing. It was really good.

  • A wonderful classic musical.

    A very moving musical. The actors and the settings were outstanding. This is one of the best plays I have seen.

  • Les Mis was great!

    by Kitty51 on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband and I saw Le Mis for the 4th time and felt the actors were the best we've seen--and heard. I know it's only here for a short time, but if you're able to get tickets, you'll be glad you did.

  • Les Mis was a hit

    by pinchapenny on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was amazing! All the singers' voices were pretty good, but the 3 exceptional ones were Javert, Fantine and Eponine - incredible, especially Eponine's!

  • Les Miserables

    by RichV on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5

    The musical is one of my wife's favorites. I had no prior experience with it. The show tells a good story and the singing is easy to understand.

  • Mindblowing Theater!

    by Jewgirl on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This production of Les Miz is really incredible! I've seen the show before in a much larger venue. This however was even better. They manged to create incredible images with screen projections that were nothing like I've ever seen. This is a must see for anyone who loves good theater and this show in particular. Don't fail to miss!! Only objection is that it was really cold in the theater so dress warm! Luckily I had a scarf to wrap around my hands, but my feet were really freezing!

  • Les Miserables was thoroughly enjoyable!!

    by duff44 on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This production of Les Mis was an entertaining and satisfying night at the theater. The music was beautifully played. Costuming and staging were creative and right on target. Casting and singing suberb. It was enjoyed equally well by our friends, who have seen Les Mis many, many times on stage and on film, and my husband and myself who had never seen it performed before. A thoroughly enjoyable night out and we would highly recommend it!

  • Les Mis was awesome!

    Music was unforgettable, the actors were incredible and the venue was spectacular! This was an outstanding musical that should not be missed!

  • Les Miserables was very good although different

    by NOMS on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5

    This was my fourth time to see Les Miserables. It was good but now as good as when it was in Chicago last year. There were scenes in this done differently than the previous times that we saw it.

  • by FishCreeker on 11/17/12Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Wow! This was by far the best performance we've seen of Les Miz. The superior quality of the performers voices really made other performances pale by comparison. The songs resonated through the theater & there was no doubt the singers highly skilled voices would hit every note perfectly. Thank you.
