Vlogger 24601: Backstage at "Les Miserables" with Ramin Karimloo, Episode 8: Farewell!

[@XxsugarstarapplexX]

"because when you're married to amanda, no other woman will do" AWWWWW

[@mulherenascentista]

My name's Amanda 😂😂

[@bonnaXbeast]

I love how Ramin acts like everybody's father :)

[@pipebaby]

His coffee cup says "Tony" on it and it just makes me very happy.

[@gabicastle9217]

I find my self so annoyed seeing all those people passing by Ramin,not knowing who he is while I'm on the other side of the world dreaming of getting a glimpse of him ! C'mon

[@mars9380]

That feeling when you know you dont have a chance to see your favorite theater actors ☹️

[@MrStephanieJChia]

SAME

[@staravel]

I know! And I'm even planning to fly to Japan just to see him!

[@Beautifullytragic6]

Ramin should have won the Tony, his performance as Jean Valjean is unbeatable.

[@kimberlydavis7186]

I agree. It sucks because when you have a show that has won so many awards like Lis Miserables has it tends to get over looked. I agree thought, Ramin is BRILLIANT in everything he does.

[@savannahhicks8263]

It's because he was up against Neil Patrick Harris. You know the critics....

[@kimberlydavis7186]

I actually saw NPH in Hedwig and now that I have seen the show I retract my previous statement. Harris' Tony was VERY well deserved.

[@kimberlydavis7186]

Not only did he sport high heels he changed his whole eating habits and completely 100% committed to the role. We don't know what happens backstage and how actors prepare for a role unless the actor tells us, They just have to make it look believable in that moment. However I believe if you have a chance off stage to commit to a character and get closer to them by all means take it. NPH is the prime example of this. Being an actor for over 20 years I know what it looks like if an actor isn't willing to go there 100%, Niel went there and even did things that made him uncomfortable but he made it look so natural. I think his Tony was VERY well deserved! He put in the work and he got results! I love Remin don't get me wrong he is one of my FAVORITE stage actors but I just think this time Niel had him beat.

[@johnjungkook2721]

@@kimberlydavis7186 I saw Hedwig. It was great, but I think there are many other performers who could have done NPH's job just as well. Hedwig is a great role for any performer who can perform the technical feats (many can) and pull off the character. I preferred Hugh Jackman as Hedwig, personally. I think NPH won the Tony because it's an LGBTQ thing, and the Tony's are a sponsored event. They couldn't *not* give it to him, because that would be a political statement of some kind. I wish Ramin had won the Tony, because very few performers could have re-invigorated such an old classic like Jean Valjean for a modern audience. That was a difficult task, that Alfie Boe for example, could not have done.

[@brandtfan12]

Awwwwwww!! For anyone who doesn't know the song at the end, he changed some of the words to be about his boys and his wife. How adorably sweet is that?! He is in a league of his own, truly!

[@EtherealMaiden]

He should continue with his vlogs. Like on a separate youtube channel. He can do whatever he wanted. Whose with me?

[@faithandeg12]

I'm with ya!!! And have him bring Sierra back and have her be in every video with him. :D haha! Namaste.

[@saraplesingerova9970]

I agree :)!!

[@alexaliona]

they did. andrew kober's channel. they've only done one episode. and they probably won't do anymore.

[@OcelotWhisperer]

Also Ramin has a channel with some pretty fun vlogs with Andrew Kober, its on ARoamingIranian

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

When you're married to Amanda no other woman will do Im crying this is so sweet

[@momofSandN]

The 3 of them on the couch was a hoot, and Will all snuggled up was priceless. I love their friendship. These were fun to watch!

[@kaitlynshaw5398]

Ramin: "Don't get tattoo's like I would not!" Also Ramin: *has his full left arm covered in tattoo's*

[@tannguyen7238]

Aww, it's great to see Ramin and his family together :) And the final song is just brilliant! Oh dear, is this the last already? I'm gonna miss his vlogs so much :(

[@KatieT97]

The feels on the last song 😭

[@milenahristova5912]

how is the last song called?

[@MrRimant]

Damn it Ramin. You should have had that tony award my friend. You truly are an amazing talent and probably one of the greatest Valjeans I have ever heard.

[@mike1600]

I return to these vlogs every so often for inspiration. Ramin's so humble and authentic and he brings so much love to what he does. He reminds me how great life can be if we all hold these same virtues.

[@baileybieganek2446]

Same! This is my third time watching them!!!

[@leftylex6999]

New vlog idea: On he Couch with Will, Andy & Ramin.

[@toughangel17]

LOL these grown men are fighting for the blanket

[@AEPhiDano69]

I'm going to miss these so much!!! The Ramin/Andrew bromance will forever live on!! :)

[@Warrichan]

Over the course of a few hours, I marathoned all eight vlogs. #noregrets

[@alexaliona]

OHMYGOSH ME TOO

[@Warrichan]

I REGRET NOTHING

[@alexaliona]

pondify yeah. what she said.

[@meghanlawrence8466]

Same here!!! It was amazing!!! I loved it!

[@musicaltrash2024]

SAME I REGRET NOTHING

[@xMia311]

I love how much this cast embraces his two boys!

[@cfonseca645]

RAMINS LAUGH IS SO ADORABLE AND CONTAGIOUS

[@dancemusicsinging]

can we all just talk about their performs at the Tony Awards. It was amazing. I think i was so ready for the fact that that the Tony's were starting and then they were the opening number was even better. The cast was amazing. I had a flashback moment during their performs because I performed that song with my drama thespian group the year I got inducted and its such a great memory. Their performs was just amazing. Also can I just say Will Swenson had such a great moment when we had tears when his wife won her 6th Tony. Her winning her 6th Tony is something of its own.

[@vlwinfla]

Thanks to Ramin, his beautiful family and the Les Mis family for these vlogs; definitely going to miss them. Ramin, seeing you play Phantom or JVJ live is on my life's bucket list!

[@71crm]

I'm glad we finally got to see his wife and kids on this! Rather than just cropping his kids off on film!

[@Yebbi2345]

When it's from the heart, it's dear, lovely and priceless. Thank you Mr. K! Thank you Mandy! Thank you Jaiden and Hadley! What a joy!

[@kirstendana4807]

Ramin: "This fella here, Mandy." Mandy: "...fella?" lmfao

[@BH-gn6dl]

Came across this guy by chance, he is one amazing talent, and very charismatic. Love bring him home on his. Banjo.

[@TheKatzeye]

So glad I found you Ramin! So talented.

[@HailingRoses]

Ramin is so beautiful and perfect and him at the end playing and singing Murder in the City is just lovely! : D

[@atmo85]

Hadley is so cute and such a ham! I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up following in his father's footsteps career-wise.

[@000euMJ]

"Wait... not a new country, an old country" Onwww! Hadley is so cute!

[@kimberlydavis7186]

I am so gonna miss these videos. It was great to see Ramin and his family together. Can't wait to see what he does next and I also can't wait to see him in this show! =)

[@therarestoflambs]

Your kids are too cute!! I'm going to miss these vlogs so much :(

[@joiedejunelle1]

so sad you're not gonna be vlogging anymore! you're so incredibly talented and your family is absolutely amazing. love the chemistry between the cast, you guys are amazing together! hope i'll get to see you perform live someday... your canadian accent really shows off in this one too lol love it

[@flodonovan4088]

What a pleasure to follow you around for 8weeks and meeting your family and friends the show is brilliant.keep singing and I hope your going to stay in Holby City for awhile.🎼🎼🎼🎼👍💖🇬🇧

[@oliviayaskus4748]

Will is literally me when I'm having a bad day 😂 Andrew is life and Ramin is love ❤️

[@koenigcj]

So great to see you with Mandy and the boys - love your work, still can't wait for Mandy's fitness DVD!

[@tiffaneythomas9685]

I was cracking up and I teared up a bit after watching this vlog. Ramin, I love what you're doing so keep on doing it. I can't wait to see what your next project will be.

[@francesbirchall5037]

Lovely piece of film.Beautiful wife and sons, keep safe.

[@MarciaPze]

You're amazing Ramin! All of the Broadway cast of Les Miserables it's amazing! My sister actually was in the production of Les Miserables this year at my college (which is Tecnologico de Monterrey if you want to watch some scenes in youtube here they are) and it's kind of a very difficult show to play and when I saw her for the first time and I cried! I can't imagine how your family feel everytime they see you! I am a big fan since the Phantom and you know what, hopefully (crossing fingers) I can meet you someday and tell you how amazing you are not only as an actor/singer but actually an increible human being! Love your country side btw! Keep it up Ramin! I am going to miss this! Living the dream!

[@theeditor1149]

I only discovered this man recently and he is 😍 Wish we could see more of Ramin and his family. They're so lovely. As much as I love him and wish I had a lovely guy like him in my life(!) I am happy he and his wife and children have such a great relationship, they're adorable. We just need more of them on screen! They need a channel of their own!

[@transcendentalist73]

This is my favorite vlog of all time

[@BrodieLovesPink]

i wish i was as talented as Ramin, he is seriously just an amazing human being!!!

[@nenemcc]

Jaiden in the credits!

[@KatieT97]

[@MaddisonCann]

I love how his name is just plastered all out the front of the theatre and he stands there and everyone just walks by like that's not him standing right there haha

[@MarianaGarciaGrijalva]

That last song was so beautiful!

[@lilsy2108]

LITERALLY SAYS TO THE PROFESSIONAL CAMERAMAN "Are you vlogging too?" HDHAJFHHAHAHAAH

[@chenchalfont9194]

[@jillbarth805]

These vlogs were so much fun to watch!! I'm gonna miss seeing the adventures of Ramin and the crew!! They are al so talented and I'm gonna miss the music each week. Thanks for the laughs!!

[@znkpvesp]

[@paulamarie43]

[@HDGalliusity]

[@deborahingle2301]

That is so sweeeeet

[@dancemusicsinging]

I enjoyed his music bits at the end of everyone of his vlogs. I am going to miss that the most.

[@Heleenvk]

moment they started filming is the same day as when I arrived in NYC, I know this because I was in the hotel across the street and it was very difficultto move through the huge amount of people while carrying my suitcase

[@mcneeze2]

Oh my gosh! I went to high school with John Rapson and his sister Alex!! This is so cool!!

[@Jellyscups]

Awesome video Ramin's Family is adorable those kids too cute :D The last bit, that song was beautiful, but holy my abs got a work out lol

[@Athespian128]
