What's wrong with current LES MIZ revival? — Page 2

I am not a "Les Mis" person and haven't particularly loved past productions but, on a friend's insistence, I went begrudgingly to see this revival and was truly surprised at how much I loved it, particularly Ramin's Jean Valjean. The production has a very visceral quality that I appreciated and I think Ramin's performance alone makes it worth a trip. I went to see Ramin twice so far and will probably go again before his run ends. I think the work he is doing is truly special. I was fortunate enough to see both Earl Carpenter & Will Swenson play Javert - and I thought Carpenter was the best Javert I've ever seen (and I saw Terrence Mann in the original). Really gave Ramin a great and equal foil to play against. The new staging of Javert's suicide is pretty amazing too...
