Les Miserables (Touring) Tickets

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Les Mis......I think it's either 7 or 8 in both Vancouver and London over the years. The show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Friday night was the new 25th Anniversary restaged version, and I must admit to being a little bit disappointed. Not by the amazing performances on stage.....they were faultless...but rather by the new, much darker, lighting and scenic effects. Gone was the revolving central stage, and in it's place new props and high tech visual backdrops. I felt that most of the key moments, like 'One Day More' at the end of Act 1, the student deaths on the barricade, and Javert's suicide, had lost the emotional impact of the original version. I know the old adage about change being good - but I feel that the revamped Les Mis has lost some of it's original magic... Some things shouldn't be messed with, Les Miserable in my humble opinion is one of them.

This was the third version of Les Mis that I have seen and it's definitely the best one. The whole production was great. The acting, singing, staging, and musicians were flawless. I would definitely want to see this show again.

I have seen Les Miz in Toronto New York London and Queen E was the last Venue. My favourite musical I'm an old man of 69 years and the number bring him home always brings me to tears.

Although all my experience with broadway is in Vancouver only i have been to at least a dozen or more shows and this is one of my top favourites. The singing was amazing. I could hear many from the audience trying to hold back their tears. I enjoyed it a lot. The cast was great.

Costumes were wonderful. Acting was strong and voices were marvellous. A very strong cast with amazing new props. We loved every minute and were sad when it was over. Of course we laughed and cried, but mostly we enjoyed.

As always, Les Mis is my favourite show to see and this production didn't disappoint. The lighting of the actors seemed very dark and made it hard to distinguish at times who was singing. Other then that it was amazing.

Great play! Loved every minute of it! The singing, the set changes, and the venue were all great!!!

I've seen this live many times, Toronto, London and in Vancouver earlier. This was on of the best. Set was fantastic. Orchestra was great. Could see again.

I cannot put into words how incredible the show was. It was so great, I ended up seeing it twice (and honestly considering going again for a third time). I have seen the show before a few years back, but it was nothing compared to this. This cast exceeded all my expectations. Right from the first notes of Look Down all the way to the last notes of the finale, I was in awe. I feel bad for anyone who hasn't gotten the chance to see this show because it is truly mind blowing. Such an amazing experience.

Just wow. So beautifully performed....so many times i experienced waves of goose bumps! So immersive. Reminds me of a quote by T.Roethke: Art is the means of undoing the damage of haste.

I went to Les Miserables at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver on Tuesday June 18th. I am a complete musical theatre buff and have known of the music of Les Mis for years. I also had recently seen the movie version of the musical. I was very excited to see a staged version of this musical. I enjoyed it, but had some concerns and thoughts about the show. There were a few stand out people in the show as being fantastic. Those characters were Eponine, who had a powerful voice and wonderful facial expressions. Javert had a gorgeous voice that would have captivated anyone, and compared to Russell Crowe, he was magnificent. Cosette did a beautiful job with such a small and shallow part that doesn't go into much detail. Enjolras had amazing intensity and a beautiful voice. Finally, Madame Thenadier was fabulous! She stole every scene she was in. There were, unfortunately a few negative stand outs, such as Marius, Fantine, and Jean Valjean. None of them had very incredible voices or facials that could be seen. The tempo of the songs was also very fast, without giving the actors much chance to pause for affect or to give us a chance to catch up. The sets, lighting, costumes and orchestra were amazing, hitting every mark needed to make the production look spectacular. Through these small critiques, the show was good, and was thoroughly enjoyed by my family.

The sets decorations and changes between sets was excellent. Some of the special effects were extremely well done, such as Valjean walking through the sewers, Jobert falling off the bridge. The voice quality and acting was also very high standard. Les Miz is a dark, dismal story and I would have wished that when there was an opportunity for a little light and colour (Paris scene, the wedding, Fantine's return) it would have been taken. When the bright pink dress came out in the wedding scene, it almost stole the show when it should not have been a focus at all! The intimacy of a live theater production was lost in the size of the venue. Some clarity of voice was lost in the sound. I would have preferred some of the more vulgar sections be deleted. I was a bit uncomfortable in that there were children under 10 attending in the area I was sitting in (not my children).

Fine acting, superb sets, amazing orchestra and the singing was lovely.

Over all average because sound was not great in the hall. Could not hear all the words all the time. I have seen in NYC, London and I should have stopped there. I also saw the movie, so I am familiar with the best. I would only recommend if you have not seen. The cast was not bad. There was also what seemed like a mist or aura coming from the stage and the characters were not clear.

The music. costumes and set design was memorable. Truly a great way to celebrate 25 yrs

Unforgetable experience, and I was so happy to share with my daughters and granddaughter. I bought the CD after and it is so enjoyable to listen to and repeat the music and story from the show. I found some of the sound from the stage wasn't as clear as it could have been The CD is so clear and precise that I will be able to enjoy Les Miserables at any time.

We have a big group going including my brother who is on wheelchair We enjoyed it very much with the singing & stage setting There is new technology for the background screen we enjoyed This is second time we see les mis & other family members saw live theater the first time We all loved it Thanks very much for the excellent entertainment

The story is such that all characters are relatable. I found I felt each persons pain, soweow, love, happiness, loss, regret, loyalty, and need to fight for what they believed in. The set and how they move it was amazing too. They move seamlessly between sets and you flow through the scenes.

Just simply amazing. The voices on these guys is something that even someone not partial to broadway would revel in.

I laughed, I cried. Les Mez is once again a part of me! it was like revisiting a good friend.
