Bring back the original "Les Miserables"
I have seen "Les Miz" over 40 times, yes 40. I have seen it throughout the US & Canada. I have tried to see it when I visited France, but it wasn't playing then. My bucket list #1 is to see the original play done in French. I saw the new version twice in Pittsburgh in the last 2 days, & I was terribly disappointed in the new version's techniques. The actors/singers were fine, but the new staging completly ruined the intensity of the drama in the original play. The once forceful barricade scenes no longer have meaning. Many of the actors cause you to dislike them rather than have sympathy for them. I don't know where Mr. Macintosh's mind was when he did not show Garouche being killed. The gunshots were almost on mute,& there was no smell of gunpowder to raise the senses. There are too many things in the world today that need changed, don't revise a perfect play. I visited "La Maison de Victor Hugo" in Paris this summer. He could have never imagined this version of his work. ... Read more

Just wonderful
I cannot believe the criticism of this remarkable production. We
left the theater completely drained emotionally. The performers
put their hearts into every word, every action. The seats were
fine, except I always manage to have a tall person in front of
me. ( I'm 4'10). We are from Pennsylvania and the theater was
truly beautiful, the staff helpful and friendly. I would go again if
our vacation wasn't ending soon. Valjean, Javert, such
dynamics between the two. Little gavroche, powerful. Eponine
displayed such feeling.. Poor reviews for this play are hard to
fathom. Credit should be given to performers who have
brought to life the greatest literature ever written. ... Read more
