The 10th anniversary is definitely the best version of Les Mis. Every single member of the cast is just perfect in their role, with Lea Salonga being the star of stars for me. Each time I hear her sing, it breaks my heart nearly. I'm not a musical fan at all, there are too many of them, anyway, sounding all the same. But Les Mis is different. It just crawls under your skin. The Godmother of all musicals. Thrilling!
The 25th Anniversary was how I was introduced to Les Miserables, so everything else just seems weird to me, although ever version of One Day More is a masterpiece
Look at the Kid Who Played Gavroach at the Very End of the Song.. he managed to keep that nlong note but at the end he looked like he was about to fall over
@InfinityEnterprises What a horrible attitude. Why are people so quick to judge things before they've even seen them or indeed before they've even been made? While I share the skepticism of a lot of people in regards to the new movie, I will not judge it until I see it.
I personally prefer this performance over the 25th. There are some brilliant individual performances on the 25th, but this performance sounds more harmonically balanced and the pacing was better. Sometimes it falls on the sound engineer to balance the singer's voices. This is a very complicated piece and there is a lot going on at the same time. This performance was very close to perfection... and I would use this as the bar.
I also like that they cast young actors as Marius, Cosette and Eponine. It just seems more realistic. Not that I don't adore Lea, Judy, and Michael, as well. I think the girls who played Eponine and Cosette in the 25th were very talented. They just didn't have the advantage of experience that Lea and Judy have. However, I wish people would give them more credit. Also, I loved Lea as Fantine in the 25th.
@prue6967 Not to be rude to any american but as iv read the novel and i my mind its one the lighting sparks in the french revultion and thereby spring of 1789, there are more amaricans in the 25th cast and a more waight at brittish singers in the 10th that gives the old fealign of it, but then som of the 25th cast dont have the depth in there voice an the same passion in there rolls as in teh 10th, look Marius and Javert as an exampel...
@prue6967 guess what! im not from brittan but still, some of the cast in the 25th are more falt and havent the same apionion as me about there part and what the diffrent phases of the musical means...
look at stars ex, its more like a pray to the god in heaven but in the 25th it sound more like a speach from my old master sargent from basic training...
I like this cast, and I alo really like the 25th anniversary cast. They're so different that you can't really compare them. The only downside to the 25th was NICK JONAS. Other than that, I don't understand why the 25th gets so much hate, really.
@prue6967 Well I know why the 25th gets so much hate. It is because this one is clearly better, and thats an understatement. It has better casting and better singing. The 10th is actually able to play my emotions, where as the 25th simply does not.
@JohnTheYetiBeast With the exception of Nick Jonas, I think the 25th did a wonderful job, especially Lea Salonga, Alfie Boe, and Katie Hall. But that's just my opinion.
@prue6967 I agree, they did a wonderful job. But which cast would you prefer? As far as Val Jean and Javert, the 10th has some serious accuracy to how I picture the characters to be.
@prue6967 I very much prefer Lea as Eponine. They should have brought back Ruthie Henshall to play Fantine for the 25th. To be quite honest had it not been for Jenny playing Mrs Thenadier I woudlnt have watched the whole 25th anniveerrsary production. And Nick Jonas butchered Marius's image. I did not liek the 25th anniversary. But this musical is only going to get worse. Cameron is making another Les Miserable smovie with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crow, and Taylor Swift. lmao I wont watch it.
@shanemerrigan1994 Well it is being produced by Cameron Mckintosh so im assuming its a musical piece and with the cast they have for it right now is funny. Go to imdb.com/title/tt1707386/
I really didnt want to say this bc I LOVE Taylor Swift, But I also LOVE Scarlett Johansson, and Les Mis is one of three all time fav musicals and I mean this with absolute respect for the music. BUT TAYLOR AS EPONINE IN THE UPCOMING MOVIE-MUSICAL PRODUCTION! No, taylor, NO! You SHOULD NOT have tried out for that! U cant really sing! AHHH, I am sory I am saying this, but Scarlett or some others (LEA)WOULD have been much better! HOLLYWOOD OUGHT2 b SHAMFUL! DISSING SCARLETT FOR TAYLOR? NO! NO!!!
This doesn't give me chills the way the 25th anniversary one does. Although Marius and Eponine are pretty spectacular. However, I still prefer Alfie Boe, Norm Lewis, and Ramin Karimloo in their respective roles from the 25th anniversary.
@MrMusicaltheater i do prefer him over some people such as nick jonas, it is just that i prefer when maruis's voice isn't so strong. i prefer gareth gates out of all of the people who played the role. that is just my opinion, i don't mean to be rude.
@TheBroadway1000 Try listening to Michael in the Original London cast recording when he was 23. He sounds great but not nearly as strong as he does here.
I'm a 16 year old boy. All too often the "old" people who say my generation only listens to trash are correct. But, closing my eyes and listening to this I can't help but tear up, there's just so much raw emotion flowing from these amazing performers. Love it!
@FlowerPotNinjas What? Are you fucking deaf? Every single individual in this version sings better, they harmonize better, they are more eloquent, they are damn-right perfect. Everyone but Karimloo in the 25th Anniversary couldn't hold a candle to the stars that these people are. Sometimes I question people's sanity.
@Iced1992 Wow, guy. Excuse him for having a differing opinion from you. You have your preferences, he has his. But please, do continue to be pretentious if it makes you feel better about your opinion, it doesn't make you look like a jackass at all.
@bandgeek8986 No, you see, people harmonizing, being more eloquent, and singing better can be objectively verified. Whether you _like_ people harmonizing and singing better and more eloquent is a subjective value judgment.
See how that works? He can like people singing out of key, through instead of with each-other, and pretty much abhorrent in every conceivable way. And _that_ I am allowed to contest.
michael ball's voice is so amazing, i wonder who the hell casted that brat jonas something as marius in the 25th, his voice is so irritating and felt like as if he got a cold or something that is clogged up in his nose. rewatching this to get that brat's voice out of my system :|
The dream cast, I was luck enough to see this cast originally. I've been watching the 25th Anniv concert tonight and thought, hang on, this isn't great! So logged on here to see how it should be done....... ordered the 10th anniversary concert on DVD from Amazon tonight so I can watch it properly again!!!
I'm sorry, but if you actually think that the Valjean in the 25th Anniversary performance is better than Colm Wilkinson then you are obviously insane! I saw him live, and Colm Wilkinson is the most impressive JV is history by a mile!
This version is spectacular...but I prefer Jean Valjean, Enjoras, and Javert in the 25th Anniversary Concert..Lea Salonga and Michael Ball are great though..I still like Samantha Barks. The thing about the 25th Anniversary is Cosette, Marius, and Eponine are portrayed by younger actors and they look so much younger, and their acting like they love each other is much better...I don't know, I just love Les Miserables. <3
i love how javert says "i will join these little schoolboys" instead of "i'll be ready for these schoolboys" i have watched this version so many times that i just sing that instead! best version!
Quast is so good! Everytime I hear him sing, I get teary eyed. Colm Wilkinson is easily the best Valjean, and I've yet to hear a better Marius than Michael Ball! This one is the best!!!
@amangkalikasan it's a shame isn't it? But this is billed as a concert performance, rather than a musical, so that's why they do it. It would be awesome to have a anniversary performance that is acted too.
Since it doesn't look like anyone else is going to bring it up I'm gonna. The main thing that kills this version for me is that Michael Ball completely overpowers Judy Kuhn during the song's climax. Hell, if this video didn't show that she was clearly moving her mouth, I wouldn't think she was singing at all. And it is a little distracting. Which is a shame, she dose have a powerful voice (Disney's Pocahontas anyone?). Good version, but the lovers ought to blend.
although the 25th anniversary version was very good I have to say nothing can top the 10th anniversary edition. Colm Wilkinson, Michael ball, no one can top them.
This is a fantastic cast. Really amazing, the only thing that could possibly make it better is Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras. Colm Wilkinson = Valjean, Ramin = Enjolras, Michael Ball > Nick Jonas as Marius any day of the week. Still awe inspiring though
The beauty of live theatre is a thrill you will never get on film - either as audience or cast. The beauty of film is that the world has access to it. So, ...Philip Quast !!!?? Those of us who never got to see him as Javert only have youtube. God Bless youtube then x
@LeavingCertificate - I thought Frances had a screechy voice :-/ But then again, that's why Frances actually suits the role of Eponine better. She's supposed to have a raspy, screechy, alcohol-induced sorta voice haha. But come on, Lea is a waaay better singer than Frances... she's just not the "right" singer for Eponine.
Did you know that Michael Macguire (Enjorlas) was 40 years old, when he did this concert? 40?!? GOD DAMN!!! i hope i look like that, when i turn 40!!!
Colm Wilkinson is the Best Jean Valjean EVER! Amazing technique and vocals! He has played this role many times and it is breathless everytime I see one!
We are doing this at my school in choir and i've fallen in love with this song! my friend is obsessed with les mis and was so happy we were doing this song!!
@tinabeaner004 Colm Wilkinson will out do any valjean ever! He has played that Role 27 times all over the world. He is an AMAZING singer and performer.
The 10th anniversary is definitely the best version of Les Mis. Every single member of the cast is just perfect in their role, with Lea Salonga being the star of stars for me. Each time I hear her sing, it breaks my heart nearly. I'm not a musical fan at all, there are too many of them, anyway, sounding all the same. But Les Mis is different.

@amangkalikasan it's a shame isn't it? But this is billed as a concert performance, rather than a musical, so that's why they do it. It would be awesome to have a anniversary performance that is acted too.

Since it doesn't look like anyone else is going to bring it up I'm gonna. The main thing that kills this version for me is that Michael Ball completely overpowers Judy Kuhn during the song's climax. Hell, if this video didn't show that she was clearly moving her mouth, I wouldn't think she was singing at all. And it is a little distracting. Which is a shame, she dose have a powerful voice (Disney's Pocahontas anyone?). Good version, but the lovers ought to blend.

although the 25th anniversary version was very good I have to say nothing can top the 10th anniversary edition. Colm Wilkinson, Michael ball, no one can top them.

This is a fantastic cast. Really amazing, the only thing that could possibly make it better is Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras. Colm Wilkinson = Valjean, Ramin = Enjolras, Michael Ball > Nick Jonas as Marius any day of the week. Still awe inspiring though

The beauty of live theatre is a thrill you will never get on film - either as audience or cast. The beauty of film is that the world has access to it. So, ...Philip Quast !!!?? Those of us who never got to see him as Javert only have youtube. God Bless youtube then x

Nope.
Frances was WAY better.
Lea is typical MT fodder, where Frances had an otherworldly X-Factor.
And best recording of "On my own" ever was Elaine Paige's studio recording

@LeavingCertificate - I thought Frances had a screechy voice :-/ But then again, that's why Frances actually suits the role of Eponine better. She's supposed to have a raspy, screechy, alcohol-induced sorta voice haha. But come on, Lea is a waaay better singer than Frances... she's just not the "right" singer for Eponine.

@tinabeaner004 Colm Wilkinson will out do any valjean ever! He has played that Role 27 times all over the world. He is an AMAZING singer and performer.
