Hello. Is the tour of Les Miz that is currently on the road the complete version of the show or one of the abridged versions that played later years in NYC? Which version will re-open in NYC this fall?
Thanks!

It's complete. I don't know if the sets are scaled down or not, but it is the entire show.
I didn't know they abridged it on Broadway. When? Why? What did people say?

Posted: 6/28/06 at 12:55amI think the tour is pretty complete. There are little cuts here and there but nothing is really "abridged".

DBillyP, the current tour added (subtracted?) the cuts from Broadway around Spring 2001, and they're still there, despite the fact that the tour has always done better than Broadway and there were no overtime issues as there were in NY. Ah well!
