I loved the show. I saw it tonight (July 13) and the spirit and energy of the production were spectacular. I had seen the original Broadway production in New York over 20 years ago. This was only my second time seeing Les Miserables the musical. However, I know all the songs and the story well. There were some female voices that needed some technical work, but overall the singing was quite good. I loved Marius' voice and hope that he will be performing more in Philadelphia and that he receives some choice roles on Broadway. Eponine was perfect and brought me to tears. I was also very impressed by the young Cosette. That little girl sang so well for her age. Valjean definitely pulled his weight and I liked his interpretation. The male chorus overall was outstanding. There were many good voices in there and they were very believable. The innkeepers were hysterical and by the end I had tears running down my face. They should all be proud of the work they have done. They made a lot of people forget their troubles and spend three hours in a period world that was exquisitely acted and powerfully sung.

My condolences for sitting through a regional theatre production of cheese.
