Among the best we’ve seen
My wife and I are Les Mis nuts. We have seen the show seven times in London over the years. We were really impressed by the Vancouver version we were able to see today. The cast was fantastic. There were some interpretations we haven’t seen before but they worked well. I wasn’t convinced by Steve Czarnecki as Valjean in the opening sequence, but he grew into the role beautifully. And - this is worth noting - his rendition of Bring Him Home is easily the best we have seen, and that’s saying something as we have seen some stars. The rest of the cast were all great as well. We didn’t find any weaknesses. Some clever use of backdrop projections were innovative and worked well. Well done Queen Elizabeth and the whole production. Vancouver can be proud.
Stunning
The audience gave an extra length ovation for On My Own. I loved every minute of it. I just added "See the Broadway version of Les Mis a second time" to my Bucket List.
Best Show Ever
If you only see one show in your lifetime, it should be this one. I have the CD, DVD, and see it in the theatre everytime I can. Enjoy the show!
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!
