Epic show but difficult to clearly hear dialogue
by Bab’s Reviews on 9/23/25San Diego Civic Theatre - San DiegoRating: 4 out of 5As always, Les Mis delivers. Unfortunately it was the sound quality that left those unfamiliar with the story at a loss. The speaking parts were not well understood. I have been to other performances at this theatre and this wasn’t an issue, so I believe there is need for improvement from the Les Mis touring crew’s microphone set up. I had guests who were seeing Les Mis for the first time and couldn’t understand what the actors were saying. One guest was even grateful for the deaf signers as she knew some sign language so she could follow some of the story. I was hoping to wow my younger generation friends with a musical I dearly love, but they were unable to decipher much of the dialogue.
