Les Mis

I agree with many comments. I found the leads to be a bit wooden and the sets to be rather uninteresing. In terms of character, in reference to the story (the book primarily) the audience is supposed to engage with a pompus Javert, a humble and strong Val Jean, a longing Eponiene, a passionate marious, enraged students etc... but all I got was 'actors on a stage'

In my opinion, it had a very 'high school' feel about it with many of the chorus not really knowing what they should be doing - so they shook their heads in a very un-natural and static way.

Also, many of the mics did not work on the night I went --- so that meant that you could not hear many of the leads at all.

I applaud all of the cast who gave up their spare time to perform in an essentially amatuer production of a piece of theatre which everyone has exceptionally high (dare I say cliched) opinions of.

And hey, at the end of the day its all for a good cause
