Les Miserables
A must see. Lamb's first-rate production has the voices, the visuals (even Javert's lethal dip into the River Seine), and the sweep of the original. But director Robert Smyth's intimate approach makes Victor Hugo's epic of love and revolution crystal clear. Brandon Joel Maier's Jean Valjean and Randall Dodge's Javert, both excellent, head a stellar cast. The design work, from Mike Buckley's "barricade" set -- which doubles as prop shop -- to Jeanne Barnes Reith's myriad costumes and Nathan Peirson's lighting effects, big and small, are of a piece. One rap against Les Miz has been that it's too over-the-top. Not here. And the show's often at its best during the quiet moments, and songs: Kelsey Venter's "I Dreamed a Dream," Allie Trimm's "On My Own," and Maier's unforgettable rendition of "Bring Him Home."
