Why see Les Miserables?
Do you hear the people sing?
St Louis, don your finest red and black and warm up your voices to sing along with Jean Valjean and the revolutionaries in the epic Les Miserables this summer. Victor Hugo's epic novel, published in 1862 was adapted into musical form in the 1980s and has since become one of the longest-running productions in the world. Appearing at The Muny for a strictly limited run you can finally stop dreaming the dream of seeing Les Mis on the stage, so get your tickets now!
What's it about?
Jean Valjean is an ex-convict struggling to make his way in the world after being unjustly imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread. An act of kindness from a local priest sets him on a new course as he turns his life around. Flash forward 17 years and Paris is in disarray, the rich ruling class treating the working class with malcontent that none deserve. Tensions reach a tipping point and multiple stories come to a head in the epic musical.

Fantastic
When you pay $168.00 for 2 tickets you hope to get your money's worth.
Les Miserable was SO WORTH IT. Dynamic story line. The entire cast was outstanding but the leading cast was better than any show we have seen at the Muny. Tremendous singing by ALL but when they sang as the entire cast...words can not describe how moving it was. Orchestra was spine tingling. If you can still get tickets...please do. You will not regret it. ... Read more

This is why human beings perform. Cannot imagine any possibility of Broadway doing it better. The definitive Les Mis. Singing and acting were amazing. Staging was brilliant. Save yourself airfare to NY or London and see the best version jere ... Read more

Amazing
I'm what you might call a Les Mis junkie...I own all the different
cast recordings, I've seen the show over 10 times, and I've
read the book (yes, the unabridged version) three times.
My background with Les Mis being what it is, I'm a bit
opinionated. In a word? Amazing. Still moving. I love some of
the changes they made (speeding up the music, changing the
special affects...). Do I miss the spinny stage? Of course, but
in this case now, the actors need to depend on their ability to
tell the story (and SELL it - which they do), and not depend on
a gimmick.
The SF cast brought their A-game to the show. The musical
and acting ability of every one of them was top notch. I've
seen Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean, and I know I'm
committing Les Mis blasphemy here, but I honestly think Peter
Lockyear was the best Jean Valjean I've ever heard.
Go see it. Take a box of tissues with you, and enjoy this
recreation of a timeless story. ... Read more
