not to take away from the performance but he really is stupidly attractive here wow

[@RemyLebeauIAm]

He really is

[@kvh7864]

he always is… but ur so right 😭

[@salvatoregurl]

Somehow I doubt yull get any arguments from....well, anyone lol

[@lordedmundblackadder9321]

I mean, that’s the point. He’s literally described as Apollo in the novel.

[@psychickumquat]

Ramin is pretty much stupidly attractive in any role he plays.

[@elizabeth-098]

Oh, so he's just been THAT good since the beginning?? Completely unfair. Completely astounding. Definitely one of my top favorite musical theater performers! Thank you for posting!

[@marcyneitzel4762]

💯🙏🤯❤️👌💕 WOW AMAZING 😮

[@LErik-vq8qj]

Best Enjolras

[@noegiard494]

anyone got a link to the full production??

[@TrustGavroche]

Unfortunately, these are the only video clips of Ramin as Enjolras in 2004

[@noellesnow186]

Ramin is Very Attractive and Talented! I prefer him to Alfie Boe, who is a Great Singer.

[@deedragongirl]

I don't like his hairstyle here!

[@katinka01114]

What I love about Ramin's Enjolras is how he genuinely feels like one of the Amis. Not just their leader, but their friend. The little fond quirking of the mouth when everyone starts encouraging Marius...He is exasperated by their lack of focus, but he is FOND. He loves them, he loves them when they are serious and loves them when they are silly. I love it so much. And the way he can put emotion into a single look is brilliant. I know he is good, but he is GOOD. Also, he and Grantaire are incredibly touchy and I live for it :D

[@margerycarty7507]

Ramin and Hadley’s interpretation of their relationship goes back to Victor Hugo’s novel. Very authentic .

[@celino_selena391]

I was 0 years old when ramin performed this, but im one of his biggest fangirl 18 years later lol

[@parrotgamer381]

Same 😂

[@RemyLebeauIAm]

The way he says "Grantaire, put that bottle down" is so precious, it's really like he's said it a thousand times 😂

[@kgraves119]

I love Aaron Tevitt’s portrayal but the way that Ramin feels like an actual part of the group, smiling and interacting with people while also pulling focus back to the revolution. He’s so vibrantly full of charisma and passion, as the book describes him, while still being the steady leader that drives the people (.. :/) to revolt.

[@kgraves119]

Oh! Yes! He’s *excited!* He’s _so_ *excited!* And it pummels you in the face!

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Even though Phantom is easily his magnum opus, Ramin Karimloo feels like he was born to play Enjolras.

[@svenb1668]

I honestly think Warlowes Enjorlas is the best ever. His power and range is just that little bit stronger

[@dehistoriapisciumfish7639]

I disagree

[@margerycarty7507]

Ramin’s Enjolras is the best ever. Tops all the others, and I say that not because I am a Ramin fan. He has not only the range and the power but also the emotion and the acting ability. Just watch the expressions on his face. Incredible! There’s no one like him.

[@morrisminor72]

Anthony Warlow has a fabulous voice, but perhaps not the beauty and heroism of a very young Ramin Karimloo. I would probably not follow Warlow into battle…. Let’s face it, beauty is an unfair advantage everywhere.

[@mysstxx]

I feel like Ramin's history with revolution probably helped him with this role, especially Enjolras' passion for revolution.

[@jamespratt2243]

I love the “Don’t encourage him” look Ramin gives to Grantaire during Marius’ verse in Red and Black.

[@diannelavoie5385]

This was so great to be able to see a young Ramin in this performance.

[@RemyLebeauIAm]

Marius: "Had you been there tonight you might know how it feels..." Ramin's little gesture there, like 'That's nice, hold that thought' is cracking me up 😅, and the shrug at "What was right seems wrong" is just like '... so? Your point?'

[@reconpancake5611]

I am Enjolras in my school musical, and this guy is my inspiration

[@lorikodama8212]

I would have paid anything to have been there! TAKE MY MONEY!!

[@meg136]

woah, that chemistry between enjolras and grantaire😍

[@cuchelo1]

OMG I forgot how much I loved the original "marching" blocking during "One Day More"... Just absolutely thrilling. What an exceptional show this is. I love it so much and Ramin has been a genuine star from the very beginning.

[@sarahwoolley79]

Yes! And the stage revolve. The new production just doesn't feel the same sadly.

[@victorialmartinez]

My female urge to have Ramin as my forever husband

[@Euli_Kookie]

I really agree that he's born to play Enjolras

[@otterzrkuhl]

Ok I’m usually for curly blond hair Enjolras, but this is changing my mind.

[@parrotgamer381]

It's so fun to watch Ramin perform. I kept forgetting to blink 😂😍

[@deirdreevangelista856]

Wow, he is soo young here! What is he 26 here ? Anyway he's gorgeous.... And he definitely stands out, he just embodies the role... In every role he's played he is consistently good. He gives each role his all! True talent...

[@Euli_Kookie]

왜이렇게잘생김....

[@antm64]

His voice is amazing! Thanks for posting this video...much appreciated!

[@RemyLebeauIAm]

I saw Les Mis twice when I was in middle school and am desperately searching for the playbills to see if Ramin was there. Neither my mom or I remember the years! We know Colm Wilkinson was our Valjean.

[@TrustGavroche]

Do you remember where you saw Les Mis? Ramin was in it in London from 2002-2003, 2004-2005, 2011-2012, in Toronto from 2013-2014, and on Broadway from 2014-2015 if that helps 😂

[@RemyLebeauIAm]

@TrustGavroche lol it does! We saw it twice, both between 1994 and 2003, in Alabama, USA

[@robespierre1958]

Handsome ramin!

[@jenniferh189]

I was gonna say HOT, but handsome works also :-)

What a great voice! Even his straight tone is spot on👍👍

[@brxzbze]

Does anyone know who's playing Grantaire in this production?

[@TrustGavroche]

I think it might be David Ashley, but I’m not 100% sure

[@dominicisaacs1373]

It's Matt Harrop. He is currently doing Phantom of the Opera

[@thomasmcclenahan2881]

It's Hadley Fraser!

[@mayachristian33]

You have very good taste in men indeed👏🏼😌

The kids are awesome too.

[@victormeyers1860]

Oh my god he sound so different lol

[@edalvarado157]

Very unique performance👍

[@PhantoMace2012]

Nice. Same year the Phantom movie was released (which he had a split-second cameo in)

[@hannahhale2518]

He should’ve just played phantom in that tbh

[@kgraves119]

??? Where does he cameo??

[@kgraves119]

Honestly… I like Gerard Butler, but… nnnnggghh, if we had been graciously granted this man as Erik, it would’ve felt both less creepy and he would’ve served as a better representation of a mentor. I appreciate what Gerard tries to pull off, but… mm. He just doesn’t give me the vibes, y’know? Well… until the very end of the movie.

He's actually always Enjolras in EVERY role that he'd ever play!
