"It's always a joy seeing a local performer make it to the big time. Nick Cartell, who grew up in Phoenix and went to Arizona State University, is now appearing as Jean Valjean in the national tour of Les Misérables. One of the most beloved songs in that classic musical is "Bring Him Home," which has a special meaning when Cartell sings it in the current stop on the tour at ASU Gammage, as not only is Phoenix Cartell's hometown but the tour of the show is currently playing at the same university where Nick graduated and on the same stage where he received his diploma. Cartell is incredible in the part, and the touring production, which is based on the recent Broadway revival of the musical, has an exceptional cast who infuse this show with deep emotion and a strong amount of energy..." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...Despite the appearance of the production and all the technical elements that add to an overall thrilling experience... it's the sound more than the look that becomes the most striking element of all. The singing throughout is outstanding. It's not just the powerful, robust voices of the ensemble, but also the solos, without exception..." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
