Theater review: ‘Les Miserables’ at the Majestic Theatre

Now playing at the Majestic Theatre is the Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, ‘Les Misérables.’ The musical based on Victor Hugo’s classic is set in 19th-century France and follows the lives of different characters as they search for redemption and revolution and is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. It runs through Sunday September 22 and tickets, which are going fast, start $49.50 through Ticketmaster online, by phone at 1-800-982-2787 or by visiting the Majestic Box Office. Performance times are 7:30p.m. through Thursday; 8p.m. on Friday; 2p.m. and 8p.m. Saturday and 2p.m and 7:30p.m. on Sunday.

‘Les Misérables’ begins with a Prologue set in 1815 Digne where, after 19 years on the chain gang, Jean Valjean (Nick Cartell), known as prisoner number 24601, finds that because he must openly identify himself as an ex-con, he will always be an outcast. “Soliloquy” The only one who shows Valjean any kindness is the Bishop of Digne (Andrew Maughan) and he repays him by stealing some silver. He is caught but the Bishop lies to the police to save him and he uses this chance to start his life over. Eight years pass and Valjean, after he broke parole and changed his name, is now a factory owner and Mayor. When one of this workers, Fantine (Mary Kate Moore), who was unjustly fired, “At The End of the Day” ends up on the streets and badly injured, he demands that instead of being arrested, she be taken to the hospital. On her deathbed, Valjean promises to take care of her young daughter Cosette. “Fantine’s Death”

Nine years later in Paris, Javert (Josh Davis) saves Valjean and Cosette (Jillian Butler) from a street gang but does not recognize Valjean until he is gone. There is unrest in the city because the popular leader General Lamarque, who is sympathetic to the poor, is near death. Upon his death, a group of politically-minded students stir up a revolution on the streets. “The People’s Song” One of those students is Marius (Joshua Grosso) who is smitten with Cosette. The students build a barricade but they are all killed during the ensuing fighting, except Marius, who is saved by Valjean. Him and Cosette get married “Wedding Chorale” and she learns the truth about her past from an old Valjean before he dies.

The night started off promising with the powerful voices of the opening numbers by the Company and Valjean’s “Soliloquy.” Given that most of the performances are serious numbers, “Master of the House” was well received and the audience visibly relaxed during the comedy relief of Thénardier (Jimmy Smagula) and his wife (Allison Guinn). Most impressive was the scenery, which is inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo and this includes a realistic looking fall when Javert commits suicide by throwing himself into the Seine. From the inspiring moments of “One Day More” to the heartbreaking death of Valjean, the opening night of ‘Les Misérables’ was a good start of its run at the Majestic Theatre. It is breath taking and inspirational and a must-see production for fans and newbies alike. Be advised that the show begins promptly at 7:30p.m. Late comers will be allowed but will have to wait until end of the Prologue, approximately 14 minutes into the show.

Theater review: ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ at the Majestic Theatre

Now playing at the Majestic Theatre is ‘The Play That Goes Wrong,’ Broadway and London’s award-winning smash comedy. It opened on Tuesday and will run until Sunday June 23. There are still five chances to see it with showtimes on Friday at 8p.m., Saturday at 2p.m. and 8p.m. and Sunday at 2p.m. and 7:30p.m. Tickets start at $30 and are available at Ticketmaster online, by calling (800) 982-2787 or by visiting the Majestic Box Office. Called “A gut -busting hit “ by The New York Times and “The funniest play Broadway has ever seen” by HuffPost, this classic murder mystery is full of mishaps and madcap mania. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things quickly go from bad to utterly disastrous.

‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields of Mischief Theatre Company. Before it begins, the stage crew of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are making last minute adjustments to the set, including trying to mend a broken mantlepiece and looking for a lost dog. The disasters begin as soon Chris, (Evan Alexander Smith) the head of the drama company, comes onstage to introduce the night’s play and misses the spotlight. He talks about the company’s past attempts at putting on productions but is thrilled to introduce their latest effort. The first scene of the play has the lights prematurely go up as Jonathan (Yaegel T.Welch) – playing Charles Haversham is crawling on the floor trying to take his place onstage. The lights go down again and come back up as he is posed as dead on the chaise longue. His death is at the center of this play within a play and is meant to be a 1920s murder mystery play but in the spirit of show business, “the show must go on.” During the performance, several disasters plague the cast and crew including doors sticking, props falling from the walls, misplaced props, mispronounced words and being hidden in a grandfather clock. The climax is a tribute to a scene in Buster Keaton’s film Steamboat Bill, Jr. when most of the remaining set collapses.

The Majestic Theatre usually plays host to musicals, so to experience a play, a comedy no less, is a treat. The laughs begin right from the beginning and keep coming with every scene. A cross between a Sherlock Holmes mystery and a slapstick Monty Python comedy, it is entertaining on all levels and even breaks the fourth wall when they reference and address the audience. Occasionally, a scene goes on for too long, for example, when a missed line causes a repeated loop of the scene, but it is still funny. The talented cast works well together and the physical comedy is top-notch. Sometimes a hearty laugh or two is just what the doctor ordered and overall, ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a hilarious good time and a must-see production. Come prepared to laugh your socks off.

Theater review: ‘Hamilton’ at the Majestic Theatre

hamiltoncast — ‘Hamilton’ is now playing at the Majestic Theatre through Sunday May 26. Photo: Joan Marcus, used with permission.

The Tony Award®- winning musical ‘Hamilton’ opened at the Majestic Theatre on Tuesday and will run until Sunday May 26. Showtimes are Tuesday through Thursday at 7:30p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2p.m. and 8p.m. Tickets start at $75.50 and are available by Ticketmaster online, by calling (800) 982-2787 or by visiting the Majestic Box Office. There will also be a lottery for forty (40) $10 seats for all performances. ‘Hamilton’ is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, ‘Hamilton’ is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

‘Hamilton’ tells Alexander Hamilton’s story through major events in his life and American history with characters including Marquis De Lafayette, Aaron Burr, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, and former presidents George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. It begins with the company’s retelling of Hamilton’s (Joseph Morales) childhood as an orphan on the island of Nevis “Alexander Hamilton.” In 1776 he meets Aaron Burr (Nik Walker) and other men with similar revolutionary ideas and they get together to compare notes “The Story of Tonight.” King George (Jon Patrick Walker) enters the story and mockingly sings about his definitive authority over the colonies “You’ll Be Back.” Hamilton marries Eliza Schuyler (Erin Clemons) “Helpless” and gets involved in the war effort as Washington’s aide-de-camp. Due to his endorsement of Thomas Jefferson (Kyle Scatliffe) in the presidential election of 1800, Burr challenges Hamilton to a duel. Hamilton is fatally shot and Burr laments that even though he survived, he will live with the curse of being known as the man who killed Hamilton “The World Was Wide Enough.” It all ends as Eliza sings about Hamilton’s legacy “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.”

The hype that is ‘Hamilton’ finally hit San Antonio last week as even those who do not usually attend a live theater performance packed the Majestic Theatre. Behind all the glitz, glamour and lights is the poignant story of what is possible when people work together for a common goal. The ethnically diverse cast is significant, but not as important of the underlying message of the relevance of the role immigrants played in the founding of this country. Joseph Morales is outstanding as Hamilton and he works well with Erin Clemons to make history come alive onstage. Because the score features everything from hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, there is something for everyone and there is at least one song that will speak to the individual heart. Highlights include the comic relief courtesy of King George’s hilarious rantings and Thomas Jefferson’s “What’d I Miss” at the beginning of Act Two. The revolving stage is impressive and the costumes are gorgeous. Overall, ‘Hamilton’ is a modern take on history and offers a much-needed reminder of what it truly means to be an American. With universal themes of family, honor and self-determination, it is a must-see production and definitely worthy of the hype.
