I'm probably going to see Les Miserables this weekend. Its closing its run here in St. Louis. Anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Despite all of the hype in the late 80's/early 90's about the show amongst the cultural-poseur tourists and the fact that it was overdone to the point where casting directors still refuse to hear someone sing from that show for an audition, it's still a great piece of theatre. Great story, great music, and they do quite a decent job of paring down Victor Hugo's 1463-page novel into a 3 hour show. It's a very moving show. Let us know how you liked it!

I saw it recently, I thought it was fantastic. As mentioned, excellent portrayal of Hugo's work in a short amount of time. I wish I could see it again...

I saw the tour about two and a half years ago. The music is wonderful and the story is very touching. It quickly became one of my favorite musicals.

The show is fantastic. Some of the best music in the history of theatre. Just a heads up though, bring tissues - it's a tear jerker.

Les Mis is one of our very favorites. We saw it on the way to Broadway in the 90s. It's an incredible show telling an incredible story.

I first saw it when I was 8 and it's still my favourite musical! Great music, great story, great characters - in my opinion there's nothing to dislike about it!

For like, ten years my favorite musicals has been Cats. I love that musical and nothing was good enough to beat it....until Les Miserables. I saw merely a high school production of it, fell in love with it and now it's my all time favorite. The music is amazing, the story is so sad and it's just....oh man, I'm gonna cry just thinking about it.
