One of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Maybe the greatest.
I'm way behind on posting, so this is more of a formality. I may put up more later (if you really want me to), but otherwise I'm just going to hit the main details.
You could tell that everybody was amazing. Literally, from the lowliest prostitute to Jean Valjean, everyone was really good. A lot of people complained about the Fantine, but I didn't think she was that bad. And then, when I found out that Valjean and Javert were being played by their understudies, I was baffled. They were so good!
Who was my favorite? Gavroche! The kid who played that part was incredible! And his death was so tragic.
And the sets were really cool, how they had the projections onto the back. That was perfect! Not traditional, but actually more effective than traditional scenery and lighting would have been
All in all, I loved it! And there was this couple sitting next to me, and you could tell that the girl was a huge Les Mis fan. She was crying within the first number, and occasionally would start singing along, before stopping herself.
It's just an amazing show. I thought NA's was good, but now I'm not so sure.
