Les Misérables

Pros: A haunting story with incredible music that is now reopening
Cons: The show closed in NY a few years back.

My wife and I were entertained by the Broadway cast of Les Misérables at the Imperial Theatre twice. We were also fortunate to catch it again on a trip to London where it opened in 1985 and continues to open its curtain. The original Les Miserables ...

Pros: As good as it gets on Broadway
Cons: None

Les Miserables celebrated its fourteenth anniversary on Broadway on March 12, 2001. I saw the show the following night, and I loved it! Now that Cats are finally put to sleep (thank God), Les Miserables has taken the reigns of...

Pros: Highly enjoyable entertainment, the singing and the songs brilliant
Cons: Every word is sung, which might not be everyone's preference

When I was about to see my first musical a couple of years ago, I told a few people it was going to be "Les Miserables" and I was told, "Ah, so you're going to start with the best?"! And how right they were.

The theater I...

Pros: great performance
Cons: none really, depends on the performers per show

About two years ago, my English class read the abridged version of Les Miserables, listened to the soundtrack, and watched a videotape of the Broadway performance. I have the soundtrack for this show, and I always listen to it! Heck, I was such a...

Pros: Best musical to see based on one of the best novels of all time.
Cons: I wouldn't mind having the orchestra being a little louder.

I recently saw Les Misérables for the first time on Broadway December 22, 2001. I have been a huge fan of the musical for a long time (even though I never saw it), and the book is my favorite of all time. I had waited a year to see this show, and let me...

Pros: Spectacular moving music, great characters lots of action
Cons: Not playing anywhere near me.

Les Misérables started out as a book by celebrated French
author Victor Hugo, but he initially wrote it as a series
of stories published periodically. It was the written
version of a soap opera placed during the days of
...

Pros: Story, Songs, and Performance
Cons: Since cast differs, optimal performance may not always be performed

I saw this play on February 7th, 2001 at the Imperial theatre. This was my first Broadway film, being I really never expected myself to enjoy events such as plays, because of the singing, I had never gone before. However I decided to go to this because I...

Pros: Great music, characters and cast
Cons: A bit long, but unnoticeable

I saw Les Miserables twice. Both times the cast was different and both times I loved it. The story line is taken from the old book. As a child I have seen Les Miserables, the French movie, in Russia. I loved it even then. I saw a movie with Liam Neesam....

Pros: Great music, staging, acting
Cons: It was a 6.5 hour drive there to New York

So...this is my first attempt at writing an epinion on a theatrical production. It never occurred to me that I could actually do such a thing but then my friend Andydammit told me I was REQUIRED to do one...so here I am.

This past weekend I...

Pros: Epic, moving drama
Cons: Only works if you're willing to be swept away by it all

I was twelve the year I first found "Les Mis". I was wandering around the New York Public Library's record room, leafing through the movie soundtracks, when I saw the album cover with the image of the winsome girl I'd seen endlessly around New...

Pros: Engaging, Entertaining to a Broad Audience; Excellent Story
Cons: Some material makes this play unsuitable for small children

Stageplays have a hard time getting by in our media age; it's hard to justify to the average person the cost of a theater ticket when they can get any form of entertainment they want right at home.

Les Miserables is probably the only play out...

Pros: Incredible acting (especially by the kid actors), great story line, songs
Cons: You're kidding, right?

This past April my high school choir had the pleasure of going to New York City for a school trip. One of the things we were going to do there was see a Broadway show. We could sign up for either "The Music Man" or "Les Miserables". Since I am originally...

Pros: Great show, a little history + a little romance
Cons: none

When I was in High School, we sang selections from Les Miserables one year. Our choir teacher told us the story behind the songs, and promised us that we would be going to see the show, but not until after the concert was over. I wish we had seen the...

Pros: The music is powerfull. The acting is superb.
Cons: The show can get long and repetitive.

Les Miserables, translated means, The Miserable. This show has much to offer the theater fan. Yet most of them have already seen this one. So I'll focus my attention on people who are just looking to go to the theater. Do not get me wrong, this is a...

Pros: Excellent!
Cons: It's in NYC

My wife practically dragged me to this musical. Though I had feared boredom, it was much better than I had expected.

Honestly, I found I enjoyed it. My wife is the huge fan (goes every time she's in NYC), and I'm not so much. I dreaded...
