I hope this comes across better on stage than in print

Michael Brindisi has done a remarkable job in adapting Les Miz to the Chanhassen stage. Instead of the turntable stage of the original, he uses a constructivist set with bleachers for the actors to sit when they’re not in the action and small pieces of furniture to suggest different scenes. To suggest the passage of time, at the end of one scene Thomas Schumacher, as Jean Valjean, takes a gray hairpiece out of his pocket and puts it on, and the new scene begins 15 years later.
