Just a few of the genuine many comments about our Les Miz....

 

In all my years on then stage I have never cried so my. This is the best show I have ever seen. Chequer mead helper

 

Excellent. The hard work that has gone into this show really shows fabulous. had tears welling up . the whole cast portrayed real emotion throughout. a real team effort. TC

 

I have seen Les Misérables 5 times in the West End and only felt like crying. This production had me in floods of tears. I can't stop thinking about the wonderful performances. So moving.....

 

Having seen many schools production over the last few years this intimate version is by far the best, Well acted, amazingly sung and the whole atmosphere of lighting, staging and the look and feel was so powerful. By far the best. I was so surprised. Your Valjean is so good I cried buckets after his 'God on High'. He has real feeling an a pure voice.. ( he looks good too)!

I never cry.... But this is the most moving & well directed Young adults show I have ever seen !  'Head of Drama..'

 

Dear All,
Y
ou know I could try to sit at my computer and try to put into words my experience of seeing Les Mis tonight but what would be the point.
This is one of those occasions where words aren't enough. What I experienced tonight was a very deep emotion which words cannot do justice to. When I direct a play the overriding thing for me which I always try to be uncompromising with is to have an emotional impact on the audience. What I witnessed tonight was the most explicit and eloquent example of emotionally intelligent theatre. Whilst I would not want to single out individuals it would be dishonest of me not to point out the impact of Launa's and Matt's performances. I am aware that I witnessed something very special from both of these tonight and had the same impact on me as when I see Anna Fellingham losing herself in character. How lucky and blessed we are to work with such exceptional and humble people.
I hope all of you individually take responsibility for the impact you have had upon the cast I saw tonight (I and know without the experience of seeing them this will be mirrored with the other cast).
I am aware from speaking to you all tonight that you distance yourself from the
feedback and deflect this to your cast. Whilst being a beautiful and modest quality in you all you also need to take personal responsibility for this feedback. By recognising the impact you have on others, this amazing quality you all have can only grow and develop you and the people around you.
Finally I recognise, although would never understand the unique challenge you have faced along with your cast and crew in having to keep this all going with the loss of Emma. She will I know be thankful and proud of you all as she watches these performances.
You have my deepest admiration and I am so very proud of you all.
Thank you for a truly emotional and memorable experience.
Love, Mark

 

Just sent a message to Nicci too, just wanted to say a big congratulations to you for a fantastic show. The talent in Les Mis is amazing and you must have all worked so hard, especially as there's 2 casts! wow! Mum and I loved it.

Just to tell you all, truly the most fabulous piece of theatre I have seen in years. Friends of Chequer mead.

 

I have seen this show many times, I was sceptical about seeing a kids production.... Without  a shadow of a doubt one of the best if not the best. So moving. Every little detail thought about from costumes, styling, lighting, scenery, movement and the direction of the young performers was masterful. A true credit to how the palace version should be.... Well done one and all.
