I saw the tour and was disappointed. So much of the new staging simply appeared to be changed for the sake of being different and had little to do with the actual story, especially the opening scene being occuring on board a prison ship. Valjean's time is up and his parole's begun. That means he can...lounge on the upper deck? Fantine's arrest was muddied by the majority of the cast milling about. The barricadette was pretty underwhelming and the slo-mo deaths with the special lighting for each individual character was the single silliest scene of the show. I felt like I was watching the introduction for the next So You Think You Can Dance cast.
