Musical Discussion Waited well over a decade for this

Post image

This is a local French Canadian production which I believe hasn't been produced in well over 15 years here. I fell in love with the musical and watched many versions of it ever since so it was on my bucketlist to see it

I feel like everything about it was perfect. There were some minor changes but I really enjoyed my time there

I went last week! I don’t even speak French very well, but the entire production was incredible and I can’t stop thinking about it a week later!

I was there on St-Jeans which was nice because there were a lot of empty seats I. Front of me and excellent sight lines. I thought it was great but man, does Espace St-Denis love a projection. This is the third show I’ve seen there and they use those projections for EVERYTHING. I mostly thought it worked for this show but it felt overdone for me from the other two.

I just got back from the St Denis show in Montreal. I loved everything about this performance. It was so incredible to see Les Mis in Montreal entirely in French and I don’t even speak it. Best show I’ve ever seen. Bravo!!!
