How many minutes were edited in the Les Mis Broadway revival?

Question

When Les Mis returned to Broadway in 2006, I heard it was edited a bit. Approximately how many minutes were edited? I think the answer could be zero, but I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks!

Answer 1

The original Broadway production was 3 hours 12 minutes.  The revival clocked in at about 3hours.  What you may not know is that 3 years before the original production closed the producers made about 12 minutes worth of cuts in the running time to avoid paying crew overtime.  So the edits in the revival were very minimal from what the final show looked like when it first closed.  The orchestrations were new though.
