Almost perfect
Love this musical so much! The singing, acting, and sets were fantastic. Just an awesome show! I saw this in Birmingham at the BJCC and 3 technical things could improve an already fantastic performance. First, the sound could have been louder. I was in the third row of the middle tier and heard all the movements around me over the music. My church has louder music than this show did. Secondly, the sets were rather dark. Where I was seated, the actors faces could not be discerned due to the distance, so good lighting was more imperative to see all movements. Some night scenes were just too dark. And third, a big screen to show the actors faces would add a lot to appreciating the drama, as probably half the audience couldn't see the faces due to the distance and relied on their voices and body movements to convey this. Otherwise, fantastic performance. The flow from set to set was ingenious. I'd love to see Javert's fall again and figure out how it was done. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Les Miserables
This is the fourth time I've seen Les Mis. It is by far my most favorite musical production. The Van Wezel performance at the 2:00 matinee this Wednesday was the best of the four I've seen. Every lead voice was excellent. The sets were great. The interpretation of story was different than any other, in the best possible way. Victor Hugo was genius. This company brought the intentin of his script to life in the very best way. All our human traits, the desperation to the elation, and everything in between was masterfully given to us, your audience, by your stellar performances. Thank you.
10 out of 5 stars
Excellent and beyond. Flawless. From the sound, to the lighting to the orchestra to the cast everything was exceptional and just seemed to complement each other from beginning to end. This was my second time seeing les mis. The first 30 years ago in Montreal. It was amazing back then but outdid itself today! Thank you for all your hard work everyone involved and bringing us into your world and the life experience the characters lived.
One of best Les Mis
My wife and I have seen 9 different productions of Les Miserables from Broadway to Schenectady. This was possibly the best. It seems to have taken the best from others and melded them into this show. Lighting, sets, staging, costumes and of course performance. Not a weak spot anywhere. All the leads were spectacular as were the supporting cast. The orchestra was perfect. We were “ blown awayâ€. And the audience at our performance was equally dazzled, the cast had us in the palms of their hands. Looking foward to a cast recording!!
Emotional and captivating…
I’ve seen Les Miserables 3 times in my life, last night was the best yet! The creamy and perfectly controlled voice of Jean Valjean was straight from the heavens and the gal that played Eponine was the same. Cast and set was 10/10!
Brilliant!
I have seen Les Mis productions on Broadway and in Chicago, and loved both of them. However, this performance was one of the very best shows I have ever seen in my life of many decades! Each soloist, from Jean Valjean, Javert and Fantine to the Thenardiers, Eponine, Cosette and Marius, to Gavroche, Enjolras, Grantaire and the Bishop, and to all those I am unintentionally leaving out, was the vocal epitome of the character. I feel absolutely enlightened by this performance.
