Lanaloo216 This is my absolute favorite cast also. My dad had gotten me an anniversary CD set that had a mix from different casts around the world. He thought I would like it better because it was a much more complete version of the show. I begged and begged and he finally got me the CD of this cast that had all the songs, but was missing small things. My dad doesn't like classical or show tunes which are my favorite, but later he sat with me and listened to both versions of a few of my favorite song. He admitted liking my favorite version too, but I didn't try to make him do that again. But for a few hours I had a dad that wasn't just all about sports...

I just always thought they had Eponine sing that part too because (1) the harmony with her & Fantine is always fantastic (2) the line "to love another person is to see the face of God" Fantine loved her daughter, and Eponine was in love with Marius. Valjean loved Cosette and Marius so now the "first" people to love Cosette and Marius show up to lead him to heaven, and them guiding him is a way of saying thank you for looking after the people they loved.

I listened to Wilkinson sing "Bring Him Home" for the first time a few weeks ago, and since then I've listened to many renditions by many actors in many shows, and Wilkinson is in a class of his own in every part of this play; even in the movie with the Wolverine guy, the only memorable moments for me was him playing the Bishop, and I didn't even know at the time that he had any previous attachment to Les Miserables (the movie was my first interaction with it). It's not that other people can't hit his notes, because they can. But he is the only one I have heard that has a depth and gravitas to make the songs real, genuine, as if they have physical substance and exist in reality. The others are talented, and they hit all the right notes, but they're just singing a song and playing a part. Wilkinson made the songs real in a way I haven't seen any of the other musicians or actors do, no matter how talented.

Saw this on Broadway in 1997. New York was so clean and beautiful after Rudy Guilanni cleaned it up. Look at it now. Thank God I didn't move there.

Having seen and listened to this so many times over the years, I wonder if it will ever be bettered. This story is a fairly faithful representation of Hugo's book. I've read the book twice but the stage show is something else; I'm lucky to get past the third song without breaking down. This summer my wife and I are off up to London to listen to Alfie Boe and Michael Ball in the presentation of the the music of Les Mis. I'm so looking forward to it.

I hope it lived up to your expectations. I'd give anything to have seen it live. Alfie Boe's voice is a miracle and Michael Ball is always a treat onstage. I am having trouble imagining him as Javert, though. What did you think?

Everyone here was perfect in the 10 year old concert. Just wish Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraser we’re old enough to play Enjolras and Grantaire. The Fantine / Éponine duet harmonies are everything. Makes you shut your eyes and take deep. It’s so gorgeous. The part I like in the movie is that part sounds “ghostly/angelic” kinda distance with echo-y sound. Just beautiful.

I adore this stage show and have been too many times to mention and the song at the first section makes me weep where its so emotional. of all the many many musicals i have seen this is the number one followed by the greatest showman and then phantom. i spent a fortune seeing musicals, collecting sound tracks and dvds its unreal and have so many autographs signed in front of me as well.

no one could ever, ever dispute that he was more than perfect. which is sad for all those that follow, who are wonderful but no one will ever be our most perfect Colm. much love to him and hope he is safe in these strange times.x
