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.

Enjoyed every minuet of it. Love IT!!! It's an amazing show, all actors are great.
Loved everything about this show. Great acting, great singing, excellent orchestra. Had a blast
EVERYTHING about this performance was excellent…the story, acting, voice performances, music, theatre itself. The set designs were very creative and well done. The solo performance, Being Him Home, had me in tears it was so beautiful.
First of all, it would be hard to find better talent than the singers/actors/designers/musicians who put on Les Mis here in Chicago. Fabulous voices and performances, a tight pit orchestra that sounded bigger than the instrumentation, and lighting that was ingenious. My problem was not with how terrific the singers were, but with Les Mis itself -- it was written so that one "power ballad" follows another, until it just starts feeling manipulative. Master of the House and Bring Him Home were welcome departures from a gazillion "big-finish" songs that lost their power because there wasn't enough variation in tone and emotion between them. The way the show is constructed means it gets a little relentless. And all of the action is musically based, like an opera, but most musicals do work better with some dialogue to move action along as well. Still, if you love Les Mis, this is the show the see while it's on tour across the country. You won't hear the songs sung better or be more thrilled by the use of staging, costume and especially lighting.
First time I have ever seen Les Mis, and it was great! Made me want to go home and read more about the story! The actors were great the singing was magnificent! Only the best in Chicago!
The actors were really talented and great at what they do. I was at the edge of my chair throughout the show. My only complain was from an audience member. They were on their phone consistently and had it on high level brightness. I wish security was more attentive on these situations to make the whole experience pleasant for those who are actually there to enjoy the moment.
Another production of probably the world's most popular musical. Having seen Les Mis 6 times, this current presentation is a fine follow-up to the previous 5 but not the best. Even with some minor vocal weakness in the cast, all seemed to give 100 per cent once the curtain goes up. Any review would not be complete without special recognition for the show-stopping performance of Matt Crowle (Thenardier) aka Master of The House. (Footnote: Cad Palace Theater main floor was chilly.)
Les Mis has always been a favorite. The cast was so strong, voices amazing and clear. The kids in this production were amazing. Great job!!
Must see live once in life. It tells us whats and how human should live along with redemption.
This was my 6th time seeing Les Mis and my least favorite performance. John Valjean was awesome and the children, especially Garush, were excellent. Jobert was very good, but the others seemed a little flat. It just didn't wow me and the singing didn't give me goosebumps like it usually does. Maybe I have seen it too many times??
We have seen Les Miserables many times in many theatres, including New York, and loved it. This touring rendition certainly didn't disappoint. The cast is wonderful, the voices very strong, and the stage effects are amazing. This is a must not miss show!
My third time seeing Les Miserables. By a long shot the best Jean Valjean I've seen. His "Bring Him Home" brought a long and deserved standing ovation. Definitely see this run in Chicago, entire cast is fantastic.
100% phenomenal! Easily the most vocally talented cast I've ever been lucky enough to see perform within the Broadway circuit. Bravo to all!!
The show itself was adequate, being neither good nor bad. The theatre experience was fine, once you wrap your head around the fact that once you enter the theatre, you are met with metal detectors and men who are holding wands to check you for firearms... it is a sad shame that THIS is who we are today in our society. In all honesty, it is uncomfortable and a bit frightening.
I see Les Miserable any chance I get. I have seen it over 20 times, in many cities. This production was wonderful and ranks right up there with the best.
I love Les Mis, and it's always fun to see it live! The sets were beautiful, and the singing was excellent, especially by Fantine, Enjolras, and Javert. My friend and I loved it!
Came and saw one of the best musical plays of my lifetime. The staging was terrific. The singers were marvelous. And the experience was uplifting and enjoyable.
I hadn't seen this show in 30 years and it just blew me away. The only issue was there are not enough ladies washrooms. The lines during intermission were insane and not enough to actually go.
I’ve seen this show several times over the course of ten years and this version outshined then all. The cast was emotive, supremely talented and entrancing to watch. The set was incredible—agile and like a character itself, brought the story to life. So glad I came one more time to see Les Mis… it did NOT disappoint!
