Usually when I see a live show, there is at least one voice that doesn t quite fit the character as it should be in my mind. I loved every single cast member and every single one fit the character they played perfectly and very convincingly. The way they chose to portray different scenes was different than what I ve seen before, but in a very good, refreshing way. I m always an emotional wreck when seeing/listening to this show, and this was, of course, no exception. My one and only complaint would be that I wish the volume of the show were a bit higher. I m not sure if it was simply the acoustics of the auditorium, or if the speakers weren t turned up as high as they could ve been, but it could ve been louder and easier to hear, in my opinion. Other than that, absolutely outstanding cast and ensemble, wish I lived closer so I could see it again!

So glad we took our 15 year old to her first Broadway musical and she chose to see Les Miserables! The talent was amazing, such wonderful voices and beautiful acting. Each character uniquely portrayed. The scenigraphy was clever and used innovative ways to show happenings that could prove difficult on stage. If you have a chance, take advantage of seeing this amazing production while in Chicago!

This was the fifth performance I have attended over the years and probably the best. The slight changes in staging were very effective and the flow absolutely superb. Pacing was great. Also the best visuals by far. However, the thing I noticed the most was the total engagement of the performers and their connection with the story. More "acting" as opposed to straight singing. So many of the "little things" were done so right. The emotions of the characters were presented more forcefully than any prior performance I have viewed. And those voices! Not a single weak performer in the entire cast! Overall an absolute joy!

I have seen Les Mis many times and felt that this was a very fine production of my favorite. Javier and Val Jean were particularly impressive. Thenadier was technically very good but I felt did not give the exuberance that this part required to be excellent. Felt he fell into the professional actor's habit of phoning it in. Eponine needs to learn what to do with her hands. Her repetitive non-expressive hand movements were quite distracting and smacked of uncertainty which makes one lose the suspension of disbelief. The director should have noted this.

If you have never seen this musical before you are not alive! Les Miserable is one of the greatest stories every told. The music just adds so much to the story. You cannot help but get taken away into their world when the opening song starts. Go see it. Repeat go see it.

This was my third time seeing Les Miz. All times were national touring companies (1989, 2013 and current tour). This by far was the best production. The sets, lighting and direction captured the story perfectly. The actors brought the characters to life. The balance of instruments and performers was spot on. After the show, my son and I waited by the stage door for autographs. The cast was very gracious. As we walked down Randolph Street, we realized that "Gavroche" and his family were walking with us. Gavroche recognized us and started asking us what we thought of the show. He, and his family, were very friendly. He wanted to know what we liked best about his performance, and if there was anything he could change to make it better. Very professional of a young child! Go see this production if you have the chance!

Les Miserables exceeds all expectations for a Broadway show. It clearly illustrates the conditions that preceded the French revolution while weaving the tale of individual characters within it. The talent performing on stage and in the orchestra pit are unbelievable. The singing was clearly understood and always in tune. The orchestra parts are very well written. They don't just accompany the vocalists, they convey emotion & mood essential to telling the story. The lighting used throughout the show was magnificent. It augmented the action on stage & detracted from the many scene changes throughout the show. The sets were detailed and quickly changed so the story was continuous. The producers and writers for Les Miserables could not have done a better job. Enjoy.

Les Miserables never disappoints. It is one of, if not THE BEST stage musical of all time. This cast was excellent. Their voices were impeccably matched to their characters. The orchestra was flawless. The sets were innovative and grand. This truly was a first class production...the best I ve ever seen.

Having seen the show at least 5 times over the last 30 years, I enjoy it more each time. The latest production offered plot nuances to clarify the story for those who have not read the book. The score remains glorious. The performances proved exceptional, most notably Valjean whose tenor tones rang through the theatre. Fabulous production!

One of the best performances of Les Mis. The cast was so well chosen and blended so perfectly together. Phenomenal! My only negative is the school groups. If the venue is going to sell large blocks of tickets to school groups pick one or two performances and make it all school groups. They were very rude during the performance getting up and down and in the lobby areas.

The story itself is the most compelling thing about Les Mis. It is a story of grace over law, love instead of hate, others before self. Now add to it the best Broadway music out there, stunning backdrops, and lyrics that break your heart and you have simply the best production out there. This season's version has added a few scenes to help tie the story together better. And most all of the main characters are up to the acting and singing. The only thing that disappointed us was the venue. The Cadillac Palace Theatre was not up to the performance. Five minutes into the show they allowed a rush of latecomers to enter the theater making for mass confusion in the dark about who was to sit where, causing those of us who came on time to miss almost ten minutes of the program. Bad ushering job all the way around, that threatened to spoil the evening.

Rating for the Cast and venue; they were amazing, however the digital projections were terrible! I saw Les Mis over 35 years ago and I couldnt wait to see it again. It was disappointing to see it modernized with digital additions. Tainted the magic of live theatre and my memory of the classic production.

The show was great but don't get orchestra seating on the right close to the stage. I do not have a problem with the persons with disabilities, but the people doing the sign language were right in front of us. A very big distraction when you pay so much to see a show. Your attention keeps going to them instead of the action on the stage. The venue could maybe find a better place so that the people that need them would still be able to enjoy the show.

Perhaps the assumption is that everyone in the world has seen LesMis at this point, so the details aren't important? I had never seen it, and had trouble throughout the first act following what was happening other than the obvious (they're on a prison boat, they're in a factory, etc.). The cast seemed to rush through their lines - and combined with a low-ish audio mix, made for real difficulty hearing what anyone (other than JVJ) was saying clearly. I asked my wife for a recap at intermission and got caught up on the action. That being said, the performances were for the most part excellent - and the sets were incredible. I would recommend to a friend but hopefully someone from the production will plant a spy who's never seen it sit in the audience soon, to provide objective feedback on the pacing and audio.

We loved the play, it was beautiful. The music is stunning, story is so deep and actors did great jobs. we had seats Dress Circle LL 2&4 and it was the first row, not in the center of audience but still great view. It is not too far from the stage but we weren't able to clearly distinguish face expressions of actors. I would recommend this play to everybody.

The show was amazing; superb voices all around. This is my 4 time seeing Les Miz and I thought the voice talent was the best of the bunch. I wasn't a fan of the staging, but it was fine. I was in the first row of the loge, almost dead center. Great seat, right? Not so much. I am not a large person, although the person to my left was. No leg room and the rail was in my sight line if I didn't sit way up on the seat. As much as I enjoyed the performance, I couldn't wait to get out of that seat. Other loge seats I have occupied in different theaters were comfortable and worth the money.

I've seen 6 stage productions of Les Miserables over the past 20+ years and I have to say that this production was the best by far. From the scene set ups to the use of screen projections for visual effects was stunning. At first I was disappointed when the scene for "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" was sparse, littered with just jars of candles. But the effect at the end of the song left a big emotional impact. Won't tell you how the scene ends. You'll have to see it. Wish I could see it again!

Les Miserables was one of the best plays I've seen yet. Everything from the stage set, music, costumes, and the cast were exceptional. I would love to see this again. My seat was in the balcony and I had a very good view. However, next time, I will spend the extra money to get closer seats. I miss seeing the details on the faces and the costumes by sitting in the balcony. The play is three hours long but didn't feel that long. The battle scene was top notch and very real. The children's voices acknowledges that they will go far in the world of stage. Definitely a must to see if you haven't!

Singing was beyond amazing but do not purchase the limited view seats. We couldn't see about 30% of what was happening stage right or if the actors were set back at all. Really disappointed with how poorly the seats were situated with extra stage set that we could not see around. I loved the show and again the singing was on point from everyone but would not get those seats again, not even discounted.

This extraordinary musical will last forever...or so it seems. I first saw it 20 years ago, and a few times since, and each time, it feels as though I were seeing it for the very first time. It amazes me that a mid week matinee performance, could draw well over two thousand folks to stand and cheer the magnificent cast and voices, all of whom never cease to show the amount of energy and emotion necessary to produce the dynamic experience for which Les Mis is so well known. Would that I'd bet that 75-90% of the audience are repeat lovers of this musical and were as eager as I in seeing this production once again. It was superbly acted, thorough in presentation of its professional voices, and wonderfully staged, all in contributing to the magic that Les Mis delivers.

The entire performance was artfully done; i.e. set design, lighting, costuming and, oh yeah, lets not forget the orchestra and performers themselves. Not a weak one in the cast. "Ebony" would be my favorite. So glad I was able to share the experience with my daughter and her b'friend on my first visit to Chicago. The theater is beautiful. When booking the tickets, I was concerned about sight lines. I shouldn't have. There didn't appear to be a "bad" seat in the house. The only down side was the (apparently unattended) group of children (age 12-13?) seated right behind us. It took away from our ability to enjoy the performance, and it was obvious that the story line was too much for them to take in. Love teaching kids about theater, but this "teaching moment" was lost.

The cast of this memorable/remarkable play were excellent. The orchestra performed the score beautifully. Having attended the performance of Les Miz many times before in both London and Chicago, I was very pleased with this engagement. Warning: Dress appropriately for a very cold theatre. Patrons were complaining without any results about the temperature in the Cadillac Palace theatre. It was very uncomfortable.

Ok.....In all honesty, I have to admit that my wife and I are Les Mis-oholics! She even has a 24601 tattoo on one wrist! That said,run! Don't walk to see this rendition of Les MIs!! The combination of great staging,absolutely amazing voices and orchestration and (of course) the wonderful story makes for a great evening out. We flew from California to see 3 performances of this classic and I would be hard pressed to say that one was better than the other. They were almost flawless! If you want to enjoy a beautiful and uplifting story told via music lovingly delivered by the cast, I say Run...don't walk! Chicago only gets this Broadway worthy cast until the 29th (I think)! To the cast and crew....Thank you doesn't begin to cover it! Keep up the great work and we"ll see you in Seattle....maybe Indianapolis too! PS...... The Cadillac theater is pretty amazing too!

I regret to say I treated my family from the UK to this as it left us pretty "Les Mis" as NOT the best..It was a real Shame!!! The sets the props, the costumes FAB...The main Lead Man WAS AWESOME..

Great talent, great songs, great story! It would have been nicer to be more close but the tickets we had already cost enough.

The show was truly amazing as I expected it to be, but I must say that I think I preferred the original staging from back in the 1980's. My only real complaint was that the orchestra was often too loud for the voices - most noticed of course during scenes when the voices were quite soft. When the curtain went down on the first act, my sister next to me (who had never seen a show of this caliber) was in tears. I knew my birthday gift to her was a hit! All in all - I loved it. "Les Miz" is my favorite musical of all time, so how could I not love it!

I only wish that I could have seen this every single night, We loved the staging but the music and the performers were the best I have seen....Will forever be a great memory. Thank you for bringing this to Chicago and giving us the chance for a once in a lifetime experience.

Peter Lockyer as jean valjean was worth every penny. His voice is incredible.

Good show. A bit tough to understand the lyrics when multiple performers were singing.

Show is a wonderful date. Women love musicals and can not resist Les Miserabes, The singing was very good., but sometimes hard to follow. Overall very good, professional.

Great rendition of a classic! The set was amazing and the singing was top notch. Always an enjoyable 3 hours (if done right).

Great stage production, sets, costumes, flow of the play. Great singing and music, esp Jean Valjean and Eponine.

In my opinion the lead roles' singing and acting were not very impressive compared to the other Les Miz productions. I've seen it about 6 times previously plus twice this time in Chicago. Although the new backdrop/props were awesome. I don't understand why some of the songs have to be rushed, e.g. " I Dreamed A Dream". Also Javert's voice was too nasal. The one who played Valjean was just ok. There was a part that he sounded a bit 'off-key' starting. I felt that the actors that played Fantine and Cosette were lacking in emotion and appropriate facial expression. Overall it did not live up to my expectations. Quite disappointing but I still look forward to watching future shows maybe with new casts and new director? I would still recommend Les Miserables to anybody who has not seen it yet.

Music was fantastic, acoustics great, loved the running word board on the side. sets amazing but only noticed one thing that could have been better -- lighting was way too dark and took away some of the scenes...

my daughter and I attended the October 19th evening performance at the Cadillac theatre and were very happy about the show. the story line as usual was excellent and we were very impressed with the stage scene setups. remarkably good stage props and scenes during the show. the acoustics were very good as well. all of the performers sang very well and acted in tune with their characters. would highly recommend to anyone. the one drawback from the theatre standpoint was the lack of adequate bathrooms, especially for the women. we were seated on the mid level of the theatre which was great for viewing but bathroom access was very limited.
