I have seen many a Broadway show and this was one among
equals. The directing was superb, the voices incredible, the sets
amazing, the pit orchestra excellent, he acting as good as it comes
... The acoustics were terrible. We had great seats (front row in the
mezzanine, or Grand Tier as they call it at the Altria theater) and
50% of the words were mush, especially the choral numbers. This
has happened before at the Altria. While the sound was amazing,
the language was indecipherable. I should have asked for a refund
as all four of us in attendance could not understand the sung
dialogue more often than not. But hats off to the performers and
the production company, especially the two leads. Their
performances were stunning.

LES MIS IN THE DARK?
I saw the truly grand production of Les Miserables years ago so I am probably very spoiled. The biggest problem of this version when I saw it Oct. 23 was lighting. Everything was so dark you could not see the actors very well at all! I understand that this was done in a style which depended on lighting and darkness, but it was WAY too dark. I had trouble telling who was singing as there was not always a spot light on them. I had to search for the singer several times. The sound balance was off for whatever reason. The actors and their singing was truly superb, although I found Javert a trifle jolting in his timing. He also needs to slow down just a bit. Grand voice though.

WHAT DID YOU SAY
I really love this story. I loved the singing but
i have to agree with fellow reviewers. The
first part of the play seemed rushed and the
words to the songs were unintelligible. My
son asked if they were singing in English. He
did not know the story and had no idea what
was going on. After the Bishop sang it was
better. I also wondered why Fantine sang
her song BEFORE she was a prostitute.
Misplaced there.And Valjean sang his song
to God BEFORE Marius was shot. Misplaced
there...4 stars because the songs were
better understood as the play went on the
singing was amazing...as the story played
out.

LES MIS IN DENVER AT DCPA
The good: Number one it is "Les Mis", a beautiful, raw human story of redemption
and loss with amazing words, acting and songs! The recognition of our common
tragedies, longings in the plot is always timeless and valuable! This specific
production- the voices and singing was awesome! The set changes and visual effects
were well done- the acting was passionate, energetic! The bad: - while the set is
supposed to be dark to reflect some of the darkness of the plot- it was so dark that
at times it made it difficult to see what was happening. The songs - unveiling of the
plot seemed so rushed and breathless (especially in the first part) that I almost felt
as if I were listening to a favorite record (vinyl) on the wrong speed. I did not find
the "rude gestures out of line with the rawness of the plot.
Overall: It is totally worth it- the story and music never fails to move me since I saw
it first back in the 80's . .. It is "Les Mis" !

LES MISERABLES
It was way too loud and was hard to understand the words. Went a bit long.
One of my all-time favorites so somewhat disappointed, but the story was
strong. This is second time in the Buell that the music seemed too loud and
tinny-sounding.

ORCHESTRA AND SINGERS FABULOUS; STAGE LIGHTING HORRENDOUS
The music was fabulous but the stage lighting was so dark it was like watching sepia toned shadows moving around on stage. In the first scene I thought it was dark in order to represent the grimness of Jean Valjean's prison, but it continued throughout the show. It is possible to portray mood while still allowing the audience to see the stage set and actors. In this case I might as well have kept my eyes closed because it would have been less frustrating.
