I saw it with Don after Lea Salonga left, had sex, did Les Miz and a Disney movie, and then came back. She was amazing. The show was beautiful to look at, and a lot of it was good, but the love songs were still incredibly cheesy.
The Engineer was played by an actual Asian actor (instead of, say, Jonathan Pryce), which I gave them props for. I then had to take their props back when said Engineer could not be understood. Fortunately I knew most of the lyrics already.
The modern instrumentation never bothered me in Les Miz, though I've heard from a lot of people with the same objection.
