“Les Mis” shouldn’t be missed...
The current Duluth Playhouse production
of “Les Miserables” is an incredible show. Absolutely flawless. Everybody with
a part can sing, can act, can move around smoothly, even dance, accompanied by
a huge pit orchestra of symphony members and backed by an exuberant
chorus. I’ve Never seen anything like it
locally and I spent nearly 10 years as the theater reviewer for the Duluth
newspaper.
Honestly, you could take the whole
production intact, drop it into a Broadway theater, and audiences would give
standing ovations, as Duluth's audience did on opening night -- jumping to
their feet at the end. Some solos sung in the middle of the show stopped the
show in its tracks with the audience clapping and hooting. I’ve never seen anything
like it. It might be the most thrilling night I've ever spent in a live
theater.
It opened Wednesday, July 16, in Symphony Hall of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. It runs through Saturday, July 19. Go. –Jim Heffernan
