Last night, I went to see Les Miserables at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. Unlike most people I know, I've never seen Les Mis on stage before and wasn't a particularly big fan of the film either, however I have to admit that after seeing it last night, I think I'm now a convert.


The stage production values, the sets and the costumes were very impressive. They managed to seamlessly coordinate a large screen with huge physical sets and the transition between the scenes was impressively smooth. The cast too were brilliant. There was nobody I recognised but they all had fantastic voices and put on a great performance.

My issue with the film was that is was overly long and drawn out and just didn't appeal, but the same can't be said for the show. Ths version was on for 3 hours plus a 15 min interval, which for me was just long enough. There's something about the music in this that makes it very rousing and entertaining and I wasn't bored, not even for a minute. It's a highly entertaining and almost emotional show, and would definitely recommend seeing it if you like musicals. It doesn't tour very often either so catch it while you can!

I'd give it an impressive 9/10

Yesterday I went to see Hugh Jackman’s show at the Manchester Arena, and all I can say is wow that man knows how to put on a fabulous show. Not only does his voice sound as good live as it does on film, he’s a brilliant dancer and all round performer, and he really knows how to entertain an audience. The show was all about him, his favourite songs and he also told stories about his life in between that were captivating. I’ll have to admit that some of his song choices were a bit too unfamiliar for me although he did at least do a fair few from The Greatest Showman and Les Mis, and he even had Keala Settle come in to sing This Is Me. My only regret about this show is that the tickets were ridiculously expensive, and I wish I’d forked out more to get as close as possible!
Still a hugely entertaining night and at least I can now say I’ve seen Hugh Jackman in the flesh! Marvellous 9/10
