Reviewers Rave about Northern Stage's "Les Mis"!

Northern Stage's production of "Les Mis" has garnered great comments from area reviewers.

The Valley News called it "an expertly executed production," adding, "The cast is uniformly good, the singing is strong, the staging is powerful, and these are all good reasons to see it."  The Rutland Herald?  "Northern Stage's production is strong, and and the intimacy of the Briggs Opera House gives it additional power."

The Connecticut Valley Spectator raved, "The voices reach out and transport audience members into the storyline. The actors never stop singing, and you won't want them to."  The Herald of Randolph trumpeted the production as "a dynamic, moving treat for the holiday season, a feast fit for a king or three, and a fitting repast for wise men."
