Excellent!

I've only seen Les Miserables on stage once, in its first road tour, and I didn't understand the story. Of course I've seen the movie since and got the story. The dazzling performance put on by this road company is better than the movie! The evocative acting, the amazing vocals, the set design, everything was spot-on. Perfectly cast, all the players including the children were performance excellence. Don't miss it! ... Read more
