TROOP-RALLYING  
"The most suitably vigorous performance came from Aaron Lazar, who brings a troop-rallying tenor to 'Enjolras,' the leader of the student revolutionaries."
                                                                               - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
SUPERSTARDOM
"Aaron Lazar is a tremendously talented young performer who has quickly distinguished himself on Broadway. I'm sure he has a wonderful future ahead of him. This rising star is destined for superstardom."
                                                                              -Peter Nero
A VOCAL POWERHOUSE
"One of the reasons for the overwhelming popularity of Les Miserables is that the majesty of Victor Hugo's story, adapted here by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, is matched by the majesty of their score. It's melodies are as grandiose as the story, stirring, tuneful and totally capturing the emotion of the moment. That emotion is most obvious in the show's large choral numbers, those led by the young revolutionary 'Enjolras', portrayed here by a vocal powerhouse named Aaron Lazar."
                                                                              -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
OUTSTANDING
"Aaron Lazar as Enjolras, the student organizing the rebellion, was outstanding. Tall, confident, handsome, his terrific voice summoning his followers until his untimely death. This is what the entire show needed more of. Passion. I believe Mr. Lazar has his eyes and mind set on becoming a Hollywood star. I'm sure that is exactly what he will do. But I hope that he returns to Broadway. Please don't abandon Broadway, Aaron Lazar. Broadway needs a talent like yours."
                                                                              -Oscar E. Moore, Talk Entertainment
STUNNING
"Aaron Lazar, as the leader of the student rebellion, is stunning. He's going to leap from that barricade right into leading man roles on Broadway; he has the right look, he can act, and he's got a voice that won't quit."
                                                                              -Barbara and Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com
ARRESTING
"Luckily, a few of the roles, such as the strong-voiced, arresting-looking Aaron Lazar as the revolutionary leader Enjolras,
are as well done as they've ever been ! "
                                                                              -Clive Barnes, The New York Post
IDEAL
"On the plus side there is Aaron Lazar; ideal in voice and physicality. "
                                                                              -Joe Dziemianowicz, NY Daily News
THE BEST
"Aaron Lazar entered the Broadway scene last year as the innocent, love struck Romeo of The Light in the Piazza. In a total reversal of roles, he's now a hotheaded student revolutionary leader in Les Miz. He also received the best reviews of any performer when the revival opened in November at the Broadhurst Theatre. He has truly handsome stage presence as the young revolutionary, Enjolras!"
-Matt Windman, AM New York
THRILLING
"As the rallying revolutionary, Aaron Lazar unleashed a baritone so thrilling that passers-by on the street outside the theatre stopped in their tracks to pay heed."
                                                                              -David Finkle, TheaterMania.com
COMMENDABLE
"Aaron Lazar is truly commendable."
                                                                              -John Simon, Bloomberg Radio
GOLDEN-VOICED
"A fine Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza, the golden-voiced Aaron Lazar impresses as Enjolras, his Roman profile and imposing presence making him a persuasive leader of the ill-fated uprising."
                                                                              - David Rooney, Variety
UNDENIABLY EXCELLENT
"Aaron Lazar burns with the pale fire of a martyr; undeniably excellent."
                                                                              -Michael Sommers, Star Ledger
THE STANDOUT
"Aaron Lazar is the standout."
                                                                              -Jacques LeSourd, The Journal News
POWERFUL
"Aaron Lazar's student revolutionary leader is powerfully sung."
                                                                              -Matthew Murray, Talkin' Broadway
PARTICULARLY FINE
"There is fine work from the cast, particularly Aaron Lazar. If you have a pulse, the show's anthems are bound to quicken it."
                                                                              -Jeremy McCarter, New York Magazine
