There are many words that could be used to describe “The Musical Phenomenon” LES MISÉRABLES. Slightly depressing yet strangely uplifting, for example. Also, long. After seeing the production last night at the historical Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas the word I would use is simply, beautiful.

I’m certainly not a musical theatre critic, but this production of LES MISÉRABLES will blow you away. It is still long, slightly depressing and strangely uplifting but it’s also magical, captivating and heart-warming. Even seven months pregnant and suffering from an unfortunate bout of swelling feet, I loved it from start to finish.

I do have one tip for seeing the show in Dallas: arrive in plenty of time, like 30 minutes early. We arrived at 7:15 p.m. (curtains up at 7:30 p.m.) and by the time we had parked, walked to the Music Hall, got our tickets and ran to the restroom the show had started. It was 7:50 p.m. when we finally were able to take our seats (because they only let you in at certain points and there were a lot of other late arrivals who had to be seated too). So, get there early.
