REVIEW ★★★★★

I noticed this new manufacturing of Les Miserables on Broadway again in 2016 and have been eager for the London manufacturing to be up to date ever since. Gone is the revolving stage (to many followers disappointment) however what the newly refurbished (and renamed) Sondheim Theatre has gained is a modernised and recent look to what was beginning to develop into a really outdated manufacturing.

The set design is phenomenal, giving a a lot fuller French appear and feel with actors standing on condo balconies and scenic video backdrops bringing motion and life to the present. Costumes are brisker and extra vibrant than beforehand and the entire manufacturing is only a pleasure to expertise from begin to end.

On the evening I noticed this present, it was the Alternate ‘Jean Valjean’ Luke McCall’s first efficiency and he did an excellent job. Once he actually settles in to the position I feel he has what it takes to be up there with the perfect of them. Bradley Jaden as ‘Javert’ has actually grown into this position over the past couple of years and his efficiency now could be polished and on level. No stranger to Les Miserables, Carrie Hope Fletcher is working her means by the assorted roles within the present having performed each ‘young’ and ‘old’ Eponine through the years and now takes on the a part of ‘Fantine’. Shan Ako shines as ‘Eponine’ and the Thenardiers Ian Hughes and Josefina Gabrielle play the comedian roles very nicely. Harry Apps is  a beautiful ‘Marius’ and Lily Kerhoas is completely forged as ‘Cosette’.

This new manufacturing of Les Miserables actually must be seen to be believed and breathes a breath of recent air into what was turning into a barely stale present. The present has been working within the West End for over thirty years and this new manufacturing might see it dwell on for simply as lengthy.
