  • Now the longest-running musical in the West End, Cameron Mackintosh's tale of revolution and romance in nineteenth-century France didn't always look like it had legs. Critics gave the show a kicking when it arrived in London in 1985, but Les Mis was a hit with audiences regardless. It's evolved a bit since then, naturally, with a recent orchestral overhaul bringing the sound of the show screaming into the twenty-first century. It's tweaks like this that keep the the show's legion of fans hooked, and likely played a part in its scooping of the Audience Award at the Oliviers in 2012.

    "The wondrous stage of Les Mis" is right. It looks so dull, grey, and small in this video under general house flood lighting. But I warn all of you to brace yourselves for how stunningly all of this is transformed via the magic of theatre and the ingenious creatives who brought all to life in 1985 and continues to thrill to this day The current Broadway production ruined it all. Feel lucky to be one of the many who have seen the original production. The current London production at the Queens is the very last and the best of the wonderful, spectacular original productions. I've seen it 30 times and am itching to fly to London to see it at least one more time.

      the current broadway production is actually a retooling they did for the 25th anniversary with new sets and backgrounds. The music was re-arranged as well to have a smaller orchestra

    • @tomgallowitz
      @tomgallowitz 5 років тому +1

    Carrie was my Eponine when I saw Les Mis in London last summer. She was a fantastic Eponine. I still cannot believe I was in this theatre living a dream. Seeing the show in the West End was the first time I saw the stage show professionally. It is perfectly understandable why the show is as successful as it is

    • @meghibbitts5037
      @meghibbitts5037 8 років тому +1

      I saw it on July 30th that summer. It was not just Carrie I was impressed with. It was the entire cast that I was impressed with especially when I saw a understudy as Valjean. Les Mis is as successful as it is because it is Les Mis. The whole story, powerful emotional nature of the songs, and those just incredible characters

    I cannot believe I saw Les Mis in the West End during July 30, 2015. I had an understudy as Jean Valjean (Adam Bayjou). As far as Eponine goes, Carrie was my Eponine. I have no words to describe what that entire experience. Just by seeing by the theatre, buying souvenirs, and getting in my seats (which was 9 rows back from the stage) was so surreal that my dream was happening. Just by hearing the first note, I knew it was going to be more than expected. The cast, the staging and the orchestra was more than expected.
