We went to Les Miserables last night at ABT. The food and table service were quite good, with the exception of beef tournedos which were tough, skimpy, and poorly cooked. Staging and sets were creative and well done. Unfortunately however the music was horribly overamplified and distorted, and the singing of quite mixed quality. Lyrics were often unintelligible. Those of us who did not use earplugs were actually in pain. We did complain at intermission and they seemed to turn it down a bit, so the second act was more enjoyable. We had nearly walked out at intermission so were glad we had not. Whoever is in charge of the music needs to pay more attention to sound quality and amplification. Be sure to bring earplugs if you go in case the production folks did not take complaints to heart!
