“Les Miz And Friends: A Puppet Parody” At The Hudson Theatre Is An Absolutely Hysterical Delight.

Posted by Christine Deitner | 21st Apr 2019 | Los Angeles, Puppetry, Review, United States of America

The press for the show promises audience interaction and improv but the way both are utilized here is utterly impressive. In three of those many “Master of the House” reprises, Flati and Makarayk sing songs about three members of the audience who have volunteered and base their verses off of the volunteers entirely. This is a talented cast of truly funny people who can really, really sing. And if you are a fan of any Muppet-inspired vehicle, it’s hard not to be jealous of those three volunteers for they get to interact with such beautifully crafted characters.
