I was skeptical about this play because the novel is a master piece of Victor Hugo in 1862 was the first time published. However, it has been adapted as a vivid play-with-music and has its fair share of interesting and even poignant moments, where production feels surprisingly energetic and really becomes much livelier when it reaches the best of the cast feelings with some stories delivered via monologues; divided in two acts, this play had a well-structured contemporary drama. I was speechless because it has been considered as one of the best musical plays in theatrical history and this one, particularly, makes you feel into the story.

All performers moved the heart in an emotional state of love and connection with all parts in the musical with impressive singing with all the musicians’ participation.  There were notable standouts especially in each act and songs with the main actors such as Nick Cartell, Preston Truman, Steve Czarnecki, Daniel Gerard Bittner, Eden Mau, Emily Some and more. The Orchestra conductor is Brian Eads with his extraordinary talent.

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, made the best and memorable play in Los Angeles where you might enjoy for six weeks at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from August 1 – September 10, 2023. Definitely, it is worth to see this phenomenal play.
