Yesterday, I saw Les Mis live and it was BEYOND AMAZING! We were supposed to watch this in Sydney last year but we weren't able to due to time constrictions. Most of the cast members also performed in the Australian leg of the show so I dont think I missed that much. Moving on, Im a huge theatre fan and ive seen quite a few broadway musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Sound of Music etc but I can say that this was the best productions so far. Ive seen the movie back in 2012 but the movie didn't fully justify the real production (ofcourse).
To quickly summarize my experience and the whole show, here are the top 5 things I loved the most
1. The set design & effects were AWESOME. The scene where Jean Valjean was carrying Marius around the sewer & Javert's death scene was 10/10!!
2. The chemistry between Cosette and Marius on stage. (OTP OTP)
3. Gavroche's performance was so powerful (and one of my favourites)
4. The orchestra was just *hands down*
5. Eponine's performance of On my Own, Fantine's performace of I Dreamed a Dream & the death of John Valjean was so full of emotions it gave me goosebumps.
The audio at the venue was quite low compared to productions held at other venues but it was still good. We had one of the best seats in the house which made me appreciate it better (we were seated in the middle orchestra which wasnt too near nor too far the stage). This is definitely a MUST watch because i myself would love to see it one more time!
