Awesome is the only word to describe this. The look on Michael Ball's face when he sings "my place is here I fight with you " is a look of shear enjoyment and passion for the show.
I would have loved to see Ramin Karimloo and Michael Maguire sing together. Enjolras has always been my favorite character. I preferred Maguire slightly, but that's probably bias because I saw the 10th anniversary concert first.
John Owen-jones is incredible as is Colm Wilkinson. The four together was amazing. Generations of not only fantastic Les Mis but Phantom of the opera as well.
This is how its done. There is pretty much something unique to like about each of the 4 guys. Colm is the guy we all remember and for many is the image that jumps to mind when you think of valjean. Alfie is the current valjean and is the 'new voice'. JOJ has been voted the best valjean ever (and is definately my favourite), and Simon has a sort of senior authority to his tone. All in all its brilliant. Watch the 10th anniversary of one day more for absolute perfection.
Thanks for posting! Am I the onyl one who gets a tad irritated though when people keep saying 'Where's Phillip Quast/Lea Salonga/Michael Maguire etc." when if they just looked they see it was a reunion of the ORIGINAL cast? Just saying...
I would have sold my soul to have been there. I'm getting goosebumps just listening. I'd have been crying if I had been there - and I'm not ashamed to admit it
Just fantastic! Love this musical and song! This combination is perfect. I dream of singing this song for thousands of people also ones day. Greatest musical evar
I wish Lea Salonga can sing for Eponine part, but she's Fantine on the 25th anniversary, I think Lea sings better than this Eponine from the 1985 cast.
@boytjem he wasn't in the original 1985 cast, Roger Allam played Javert in the original. Philip played the part in Australia and in the 10th anniversary concert.
I love how they all acknowledge each others amazingness
