It was beyond belief the talent, the scenery and the orchestra !
It was the best show! A roller coaster of emotions. Loved every minute of it. So glad we were able to watch it!
The set was so amazing, and the cast sang so well!
the show was unbelievable and the singing was incredible. my daughter is doing this play in her high school show at houston christian high school
The overall design of the performance we saw is very dark. I left with a headache after straining to see the actors for the duration of the show. The performers were great, with one of the best renditions of Bring Him Home I have ever heard. The changes to the script for this version are difficult. If you don't already know the story, it will be hard to follow, and moments are rushed.
I was so happy that extra performances were added so that I could see Les Miserables. I love that it started right on time! The voices were spectacular, especially Jean Valjean.
The lead characters and all singers were outstanding. The musicians were great. The production was so very well done. The story is profoundly rich in grace, redemption, justice and mercy. This was truly an outstanding performance.
The actors were amazing. They truly did a great job and that was what my standing ovation was for. The storytelling however left a lot to be desired. The first half of the play seemed rushed. Their tempo felt sped up and hard to follow if one wasn’t already a fan of the story. The character development one is used to was missing and lacking. Then the barricades came after the intermission and the play halted to a slow death. Felt like it took forever and I even wondered how they were gonna finish the play in time. I enjoyed the actors and their performance, but again. Rushed beginning and lack of character development with a screeching halt in the second half played in to a 3 star overall performance for me.
Everything was spectacular-the sets, special effects, the actors and the music. Although it is a rather long production I was never bored but sorry to have it end.
If I ever buy tickets in the future and the event is rescheduled I will submit for a refund. The new time and day was every inconvenient for people who work during the day. It was not worth the hassle of traffic and leaving work mid day.
I have seen this play in a number of places, London, New York City, Miami, and once before in Houston. I was a little disappointed with this production because I noticed that a few songs that I know from previous productions, were not included or cut short. However, on the whole, it was still enjoyable.
This is a fabulous play, and this was a fantastic performance! Just as good the fourth time as it was the first. We were disappointed that the original opening night performance was postponed because the crew was delayed by weather conditions, but we were happy that we were able to attend the rescheduled performance. This is and will continue to be my favorite event, and I will attend a performance of Les Miserables any time I have the chance!
This show was so good. It was everything and more I hoped it would be. Couldn't afford the regular tickets but was able to see the Friday afternoon showing. It was definitely a bucket list show for me.
The cast was absolutely fantastic, their vises and casting was perfection! The best performance of this production I have ever seen. With this being my 5th time seeing this show. Both the cast and crew were amazing and I wish I could have seen it 5 more times.
Excellent play , outstanding scenographic and scenes were well coordinates and artist wel top notch.
Very talented cast of course. Not crazy about a couple of the casting decisions for certain roles Cosette adult and Eponine. Many parts weren’t loud enough and hard to understand the story for a first-timer. I’ve seen this a few times, and not my favorite version.
I have always loved the music of Les Mis, and this was my first time seeing the show; it did not disappoint!! The touring cast was phenomenal. Nick Cartell as Valjean was beyond description of outstanding, and I am so grateful to have seen him as my first Valjean. The set design was probably some of the best I’ve seen for a touring show. The entire production was just magnificent. Bravo to every single cast member, musician, and stage crew!
Les Mis performed by a class of 3rd graders would still be worth seeing! This touring company's production used creative stage sets filled with enthusiastic performers. Some performers portrayed anger mostly by shouting. A number of the songs were sung much more up tempo than the classic portrayals. This is the third stage presentation I have seen. I have three movie versions of Les Mis, the original London company audio recording, the 10th Anniversary concert, and the 25th Anniversary concert, so my comparisons may be a bit skewed. But, as I began, any performance of Les Mis is worth attending!
The cast had the best vocals of any rendition of Les Miserables that I have ever seen! The choreography and music transported me into that world and left me breathless.
The performance itself was the one of the best I've seen with the most phenomenal vocalists and impressive stage design by far out of the other 2 on Broadway and 3 touring shows I've seen. For the venue itself, the bathrooms were practically in a basement maze, and it was a little crowded waiting for doors to open on the balcony floor. However, the staff was all knowledgeable, friendly, and relaxed. It was nice not being treated like a criminal or disease just for showing up in a crowd! Overall, I definitely recommend, and my husband and I are so pleased with it as our Christmas to each other.
