Amazing performance

5/5

This is the 4th production of Les Miz I have seen. In my opinion it was by far the BEST! Nick Cantrell was outstanding as Jean Valjan. He was supported by a brilliant cast. I can’t say enough about this production. Not only was the entire cast amazing, but the set designs were superb. Don’t miss this production. It will stay with you for a very long time. In addition, the disabled gentleman who was singing outside the theater, brought me to tears. His voice was amazing. I could have listened to him for hours!

This CAST!!!

I saw opening night here in San Francisco, July 5, 2023. This is one of the best casts ever assembled to perform this production. Nick as 24601 is stunning- vocal power but also softness and gentleness. He is superb and would be the main reason to see the show if not for countless other amazing performances. Fantine (Haley) and Eponine (Christine), in particular, killed their solos and received extended applause. Gavroche (Milo) was also amazing!

Across the Board Excellence, But Know the Story Before

5/5

Every voice excellent, ensemble best of four prior experiences. Some of the vocal presentations at six star level. Loved every minute. But, a word of warning, if this is a first Les Mis experience, learn the story well before attending. The staging is excellent, but a bit of the love/responsibility story is not sold to the audience. For me, that was a "who cares" as I knew the story, but if it was a first time, I think following the story would have been quite difficult. ------ We saw a matinee and I wanted to attend again in the evening.

Amazing

I'm what you might call a Les Mis junkie...I own all the different cast recordings, I've seen the show over 10 times, and I've read the book (yes, the unabridged version) three times. My background with Les Mis being what it is, I'm a bit opinionated. In a word? Amazing. Still moving. I love some of the changes they made (speeding up the music, changing the special affects...). Do I miss the spinny stage? Of course, but in this case now, the actors need to depend on their ability to tell the story (and SELL it - which they do), and not depend on a gimmick. The SF cast brought their A-game to the show. The musical and acting ability of every one of them was top notch. I've seen Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean, and I know I'm committing Les Mis blasphemy here, but I honestly think Peter Lockyear was the best Jean Valjean I've ever heard. Go see it. Take a box of tissues with you, and enjoy this recreation of a timeless story.

Certainement un doit voir !

I saw the Broadway musical Les Misérables, based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, an uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. It was an excellent script, with powerful actors whose lungs never gave up; the re-imagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, which included the integration of video during the chase scenes in the Paris sewers, were remarkable and lifelike. The songs were of many moods—angry, jubilant, romantic, and wistful. The whole audience were in awe and standing ovations were well earned by the crew—All in all, it was unquestionably a spectacular production from start to finish! Definitely a must see, for all, including children.

Great Play

Saw this a few years ago in SF where my friend played the lead role) and it was just amazing! It was really moving. I'd watch this again. Five stars all the way!
