March 15: Les Misérables premiered in Toronto

2015-03-15On 15 March 1989, the Broadway hit musical Les Misérables premiered in Toronto, Ontario at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. The musical had premiered on Broadway 12 March 1987, but the critics weren’t crazy about the show when it first came out even though today it’s quite the hit.

It was somewhat surprising that the musical was staged in Toronto after it was not critically acclaimed on Broadway two years prior. That’s not to say the musical had no good reviews, but many of the reviews it received were less than complementary. One critic, Michael Ratcliffe, even described the show as “witless and synthetic entertainment.”

While there were mixed feelings about the musical on Broadway, when the show was made into a movie in 2012, it received universal praise. The movie featured big Hollywood stars including Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Amanda Seyfried. One of the surprising aspects of the movie was that actors who are not known for their singing did a remarkable job in the musical. The movie provided excellent entertainment for all who saw it and did not disappoint when it came to honoring the first musical on Broadway or the original novel written by Victor Hugo.
