Les Miserables Tickets

the actors were first rate, singing talent was strong, generally. After seeing the original production, this one seemed less connected. Alot was lost by not feeling the true and disturbing interaction of the two leads. Nothing could be taken away from the music or the singers, it was truly moving, Again, only weakness was in the relational interaction as portrayed in this anniversary edition. preferred the original version. thank you

This play has so much to offer, but do not go expecting a lighthearted musical. The play's plot line is quite intense. In my opinion, the production values are second to none, and the acting is superb. The vocals are strong and beautiful. At our performance, however, I found the orchestra to occasionally overpower the vocals, which was disheartening since when it seemed to be balanced, I found the lyrics were exceptionally on point, and the balance with the orchestration produced an amazing, moving mix.

Excellent production. The ensemble was especially strong. Leads were great particularly Javert, Jean Val Jean, Enjorlas and Cosette. Great staging, scenery and lighting. The orchestra was superb.

This is my 5th time seeing Les Mis - it has been 10 years since I saw it last. I was VERY excited that it was returning to stage and drove out of state to see the new performance. We took our entire family because I loved this musical so much. I hate to be negative but this experience was extremely disappointing. This felt like an amateur performance - as though I were watching college students perform it. The stage was incredibly small and so the extras/townspeople were also few - which greatly took away from the powerful songs. I am usually in awe and overwhelmed at the power of the music and vocals. This experience was the opposite. CAST: Fantine was unbelievably bad. I am unsure of how she got cast. Javaert was ok but not at all what I was used to seeing. Jon Val Jean was good vocally but lacked good acting. He stood and sang his songs instead of acting while singing. Marius, Eponine and Cozet were by far the best in the cast and did very well. Ongirous (not sure how to spell his name) was SO disappointing. His voice should be booming throughout the theater making us all want to "join in the fight that will give them the right to be free", but their were times his voice didn't even carry over the orchestra. SO disappointing. CHANGES: As for the updates/changes to the new tour, it is true what all the other reviews say about the speeding up of the songs. My father who had never seen the show before was lost at times because you couldn't understand what they were saying. There were no pauses to take in the power of the scene - just rushing through. The lack of the rotating stage greatly took away from the powerfuly baricade scenes. They used to rotate the baricade and you would gasp at the scene of post battle. In this version, they paused for maybe a half a second after the fighting and quickly pushed right into the sewer scenes - so you didn't even have time to process the human cost of the baricade. The Javeart death scene change was terrible - by far the worst change. The addition of the sex scene in Master of the House was completely ridiculous. I could see it in Lovely Ladies - but this was just unnecessary and didn't even really fit. Gavroch's death and the cut of little people was also so unfortunate. All these cuts, changes and lack of pauses completely strip the musical of the dramatic power of the loss of the baricade battle. The positive part for me was we had really good seats. And Marius, Eponine and Cozet were very good. The Tenardias are always fun of course. If you have seen the earlier productions of Les Mis and fell in love with the breathtaking power of the music and the power of the baricade - don't see this touring company. Sell your tickets on ebay. Wait for it to return to the theater with a higher quality cast. You will walk away disappointed and feeling like you wasted a significant amount of money.

The show was extremely well done, unfortunately my seating was not, I was up in the "nosebleed" section, my bad!

Jean val jean was terrific. Cosette was too soft. At times,the orchestra drowned out the performers. It was also distracting to have the conductor on a monitor.

The show was very enjoyable. Only issue I had was at times it was difficult to hear some of the words from the actors because the music drowned them out. I was very impressed with the special effects and the ease of transition from set to set.

the voices and staging were unbelievable. One of the best musicals I've seen!

Wonderful! Music and voices were beautiful and moving! Scenery and lighting added to the impact of the show. A "must see" event!

This is my third time seeing Les Mis and while some of the leads were exceptionally good - best I have ever seen, some were just OK. I sort of missed the round set and I thought it could have been a little louder(but maybe that was due to my seats.) I just enjoy the music so much and admire the talent of the singers.

First time seeing it, and now I don't know why I waited so long! Great energy, orchestra and amazing voices. Can't wait for it to come back!

Excellent performance. Orchestra and cast were some of the best talent we've seen.

I have seen Les Miserables 3 times now and of all the shows I have seen it remains my favorite. This production with it's new scenery effects was amazing. However we were with a group of 6 and all of us were very disappointed with the sound system at the Marcus Center. I know the show very well so it was slightly less of a problem, however those of my group who had not seen the show before had alot of difficulty understanding the words. The vocal ability of all the cast members was superb, but the story line is equally important. It seemed to more of a problem when the singers were down stage near the edge of the orchestra pit - they were somewhat drowned out by the musicians. Have had that same problem with other productions in this house. Still remains my favorite.

This is the 25th year Anniversary for the legendary musical Les Miserables. The songs were as beautiful as ever. The cast was absolutely top-notch. The stage scenery was magnificent. Gone now is the former stage which on a revolving turn table now replaced by lavish settings and Victor Hugo inspired back drops. It was truly a most memorable night.

The performance was amazing...I had goosebumps most of the time. The set of the barricade was ingenious and thrilling...all the voices were wonderful! Can't believe I hadn't seen this earlier in my life...so many songs I already know by heart. Too bad about the Packer t-shirt at the end and the shameless pitch for donations. I wanted to remember the actors in character!!

Worst production I have seen. My husband wanted to leave at intermission. Weak vocals, terrible lighting and sound. The performance felt very rushed, like they were trying to cut 15 minutes off the show. Maybe they needed to because at the end of the show, we had to listen to a PBS-like plea for donations. We were very disappointed because we really were looking forward to the show.

at times got boring, but overall good. costumes were nice, actors were entertaining and excellent singers. scenery was great with fast scene changes

Although I didn't like some of the casting, the music of Les Miserables wins out every time. I love the score and the emotion it conveys. Le Miz is my favorite musical. The voices were great and the production tight. The surprise "superman" reveal of the Green Bay shirt by the actor portraying Javert was a wonderful theatre moment for me (and I am not even a Packers fan). Can't wait to see this again!

Thought it would be great, but was still better than we expected.

Absolutely loved the show. Saw it many years ago. Of course you see and appreciate the performance so much more the second time around. BRAVO!!!
