My friends and I all enjoyed this musical. It was our first time of seeing it. We loved the music and the fact that there was an actual story line. Although sad at times it kept us engrossed all the time. We liked the intimacy of the small theatre. More

The lead performers all excelled and were supremely supported by a strong and enthusiastic cast and musicians. A memorable night and thank you to all concerned.

Have seen les mis before and wondered how it could be done on such a small stage. It was a first class production with a great cast. The only reason I did not rate it excellent was the heat and stuffiness of the theatre, I am sure a few people left because of it. Attended evening of May 23. More

There is a reason that this show packs the house year after year: the audience relates to the actors' stories. The portrayal of humanity is intense, realistic, thought-provoking and life-changing. More
