Les Miserables Reviews

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...Over the decades, this epic musical has become a theatrical favorite worldwide; and this lavish, heartfelt, superbly-performed and immaculately produced National Tour is proof why. This show may never be seen again with such fine attention to detail. From the creative genius of directors Laurence Connor and James Powell, to a dream cast of polished musical and dramatic talent, this magnificent production should not be missed. Highlighted by superb technical artistry, and cloaked in multitudes of period costumes and wigs, this astounding, near perfect production sets the bar high for every other. “At the End of the Day,” this is a LES MISERABLES to be thoroughly enjoyed and remembered for years to come. “Do you hear the people sing?” I do, and I loved every note and lyric of this musical."

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...Producer Cameron Mackintosh and his insanely talented creative team invite audiences to step into 19th century France in the infamous tale and beloved musical that is Les Miserables. Inspired by Victor Hugo's 1862 historical novel Les Miserables, the story still captures the hearts and minds of modern audiences with its timeless themes of unrequited love, redemption, sacrifice, and revolution. From the sweeping score to the emotionally charged performances, this production feels just as urgent and devastating today as it must have when audiences first encountered it. It's a story about survival in a cruel world, and the impossible choices people make when they're clinging to hope by a thread."

Curtain Call Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...The barricades have risen once more in Les Misérables, storming anew on the state of the Cadillac Palace Theatre in a national tour that proves, yet again, why this musical endures as theatrical perfection. Anchored by Nick Cartell’s deeply felt and moving Jean Valjean, this production balances spectacle and intimacy with an ever-present confidence that still feels both classic and fresh after all these decades. With Cartell at the center of this production, this is not just a classic show revived; it is a theatrical necessity coming home to visit."
