Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"... Overall, this is the best road company of "Les Miz" in many, many years. The 25th anniversary production now refreshes and rethinks without sacrificing any singularity of intensity or artistic occasion."

Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"... Barely five weeks before the star-studded film version of “Les Miserables” is to be released, a stellar national touring production of the musical is storming the stage of the Cadillac Palace Theatre here. Producer Cameron Mackintosh and the other powers that be behind this masterpiece of a show have, if anything, raised the bar."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...It is hard to believe, after viewing "Les Miserables" as many times as I have, on large stages and small ( Marriott did a magnificent job in the round as the first regional theater to get the rights), that this legendary musical could be different and even better than prior productions, but it is! After 25 years, a new version, one that was reworked to have graphics that are astounding ( the sewer scene is absolutely amazing!) with scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, author of the original work from which Boubilil and Schonberg worked their magic. While this production has been here recently, it seems even stronger after being on the road. Perhaps it is the strong cast gelling! Perhaps it is audiences love of the music and the story of the survival of the human spirit despite all the setbacks thrown at it. Today, while we are facing many problems with the economy, health and politics, one needs to get the feeling of survival of our spirit and this production is about as uplifting as you can get."
