Do you hear the people sing?
Don your finest red and black and warm up your voices to sing along with Jean Valjean and the revolutionaries in the epic Les Miserables. Victor Hugo's epic novel, published in 1862 was adapted into musical form in the 1980s and has since become one of the longest-running productions in the world.
Seen by over 53 million people in 38 countries and 21 languages since its first performance in 1985, Les Miserables is one of the greatest stage musicals of all time, winning seven Tony Awards in the US alone. This local production contains all the highs, lows, and incredible music of the original Broadway run!
What's it about?
Jean Valjean is an ex-convict struggling to make his way in the world after being unjustly imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread. An act of kindness from a local priest sets him on a new course as he turns his life around. Flash forward 17 years and Paris is in disarray, the rich ruling class treating the working class with malcontent that none deserve. Tensions reach a tipping point and multiple stories come to a head in the epic musical.

Best. Show. Ever.
Absolutely outstanding: the Los Angeles performance at the Pantages Theater was simply amazing. Spectacular performances, great sets, wonderful orchestra.

Justifiably a classic! (I'd say 4.5 stars if I could.)
This is my third time seeing Les Mis onstage (8/11/23 in Hollywood) and I'd see it again in a heartbeat. The voices and acting were fantastic--some gorgeous harmonizing!--and, even though I've seen one production with the rotating stage circle, I didn't feel like anything was missing without it. The background projections were great at giving the scenes depth. / Minor criticisms: Some of the quieter lines were TOO quiet, and some lyrics seemed rushed compared to the OBC recording; my companion said she wished the lyrics were projected. As others have said, I highly recommend reading a synopsis or the lyrics beforehand so as not to miss important details and witty quips. [Side note not meant as a criticism: Interesting to see that a line of "Beggars at the Feast" has been changed to make Thenardier not sound like a homophobe. Sign of the times.] ... Read more

If you didn't like it you don't know Les Miz
We (wife and I) have seen nearly every production in Chicago since 1992 going back to the big stage, turntable, Auditorium productions. We have always enjoyed it but it's been a long time since we've loved it. What a cast!! Great job, guys!! ... Read more
