[DrinkOmally]

[at1212b]

@BobLloyd57

Yeaa, that and extremely high.

[CEMILIOB]

The actor listed as COLM WILKINSON is actually PETER POLYCARPOU, a very talented British TV and West End star. He's "Chris" in the original cast recording of MISS SAIGON, "Ali Hakim" in Hugh Jackman's OKLAHOMA! -- and he's in the films DELOVELY and EVITA with Madonna. Whoever produced this segment broke the reporter's cardinal rule: get the names right. Usually, producers have the interviewee state and spell their name on camera right before their interview to avoid this awful mistake.Oops!

[dbrennan76]

@CEMILIOB He's John in the original Miss Saigon not Chris

[LotteTBS]

@CEMILIOB actually, he played John, not Chris (Simon Bowman) in the OLC of Miss Saigon... but that is an ok mistake compared to the AP fail

[thereisnophantom]

fail.

you'd think that one person would have realized that wasn't him.

[91LisaLou]

Um... thats not Colm.. lol

[Answl82]

OMG Colm W here was also on Birds of a Feather PMSL lol x

[kfag101]

Michael bell turns me on!

[limegreenbella]

Michael at 1:52 lol. :P

[theravensaint]

Now we go to Colm Wilkinson.....Colm? FAIL! LOL

[goughy034]

HOW WRONG IS THIS!!!!!!!!!

[CancerousPiesRTasty]

colm should ALWAYS have facial hair.

[milolovesmusic]

that is not my dad



[sondheimfan1]

ummm that's def not colm wilkinson

[CAYVANC]

it wasnt colm.

[matt92091]

at 0:37 (while they were mis-labeling Peter)...does anyone else notice that there is an oboe playing cats? lmao

[kayjaye1]

It's Peter Polycarpou

[musicalchix]

GINA BECKKKKKK!!!! <3 <3 <3

[bangbangmrwang]

how the hell do you get someone's name wrong... they dont have people who double check these things...?

[tgreenshields]

Yeah I think that they need to get the cast right if they are doing a true new story. It is a bit ridiculous that a true reporter couldnt get the simplest of details correct

[notfauxnooz]

stupid reporter - whould have asked the guys name before interviewing him. She's such an idiot. That was not Colm.

[disgrl4]

Wait...okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who knew THAT wasn't Colm Wilkinson. "Les Mis" fan for 15 years right here.

[madestofmad]

lol that is not colm wilkinson that is peter polycapou who played enjoras at 2:10 in the middle is colm wilkinson

[madestofmad]

lol that is not colm wilkinson that is peter polycapou who played enjoras

[mrkevinpppfff]

That's not Colm Wilkinson... Unless he got 20 years younger and changed his nationality...

[mcgriff1964]

Lea was in both the London and Broadway casts at one time, but was not the original Eponine in either cast.  Thw woman that they show, Frances Rufelle was the original Eponine both in London and on Broadway. Michael Maguire was the original Enjolras on Broadway (never London)...and I think it looks as if Michael Ball "had some work done" on his face!

[madaboutmusicals1993]

Lea Salonga wasn't in the London Cast I think she was on Broadway (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but she wasn't in the London cast.

[disgrl4]

@madaboutmusicals1993 Lea Michele performed in the Hollywood Bowl performance only. Not in London or on Broadway.

[wickedlondonfan]

@disgrl4 Hi MadaboutMusicals1993 is on about Lea Salonga not Lea Michele, and also Lea Michele performed as Young Cosette on broadway as well as young eponine and once or twice as gavroche.

[jasontlundquist]

and didnt rea salong play the original eponine?

[musicxninja]

I'm really pissed they mislabeled colm wilkinson, because he's the ultimate, original (and in my opinion, the best) Jean Valjean, and that's not fair to him.

[jayv4fingers]

HEY THAT'S NOT COLM WILKINSON!!!!!!!!!1one

[LESMISERABLESmarius]

I love MICHAEL BALL

[misskit123]

Aww, it's Sabrina!!

[eurasianfeline]

out of all people, to misable colm wilkinson.......

[Bennieboos]

they thought Peter Polycarpou was valjean, where he actually played the first enjorlas

[hammy518]

where was michael migure!?! they filled him in with the guy who was mislabeled as Colm Wilkinson. nice job AP

[surfygirl21]

Michael Migure wasn't in the original London Cast

[dante144]

Way to go, AP. Mislabel Colm Wilkenson, why don't you.

[Disneydanny]

kinda funny hearing "Cats" music in this

[Ingsiemens]

Why is Michael Ball doing the charleston randomly on stage?

[MrActor123456789]

Whoever edited this clip together is an idiot because the guy they interviewed was NOT Colm Wilkinson.

[alfiesgirluk]

Yes was definitley not Colm Wilkinson as subtitled but I do see him at around 2:07.

Still it is very misleading

[forrach09]

i saw the 21st Anniversary cast <3 Was my first west end musical and i loved it! :) SO lovely to see people like Sabrina and Gina doing so well in WWRY and Phantom now :D

[Monkeyballmania]

loved Michael Ball dancing!

[steveking89]

that's peter polycarpou, he wasn't even the original Enjolras

[rumvodkaf1]

frances is pure hotness.

[christinedaae101]

Idiots can't even name Colm Wilkinson right. Very professional of them. But Michael Ball's dancing was adorable^^.

[mizziolivia]

wtf! where's the real Colm!

[rhcripps]

Who the heck was that Javert? I thought Roger Allam was the Original London Cast's Javert!

[bcrocker33]

me too...then i saw another anniversay thing and the Javert was different again.

[colinvincentdean]

javert was played by phillip quast at the 10th anniversary show bt nt sure if he was the original. i dontthink he was

[bcrocker33]

yes. after the TAC i have looked at everything i can find. i feel blessed that the 10th was uploaded. I heard an interview that Cameron handpicked the 10th anniversary cast. don't know why Patti wasn't at the 10th. perhaps she had another engagement?? she made fun of it as a joke - look up "I Dream A Dream" and you will see it. Roger Allum was original Javert. it swept the 87 Tony noms and a lot of wins. what is the London equivelant to tonys?

[bcrocker33]

he was...and Patti Lupone was the original Fantine. apparently Cameron hand picked this cast and perhaps some of the original's were not available?

[ovalvelociraptor]

WTF that is NOT colm wilkinson!

[RodCornholio]

This musical will run until humans are no longer.

It will be played as long as "Yesterday" by the Beatles and Beethoven's 9th or Mozart's K. 551. 100's of years.

[dojunwai]

Wow, Com Wilkinson looks younger after 21 years! And he kinda looks like Javert..

[Teigokane]

This wasn't Colm Wilkinson

[dojunwai]

Yeah, that was my point.

[emrabt]

@dojunwai well the camera changes people.

[Dragsterwiz]

frances ruffelle is hot

[madcanadian2]

LMAO....How could anyone mistake Peter for the world's best singer, Colm Wilkinson!

No one comes even close!!!

[broadwaymike92]

I love Frances Ruffelle

[RadioFan300]

Not only did they get Peter Polycarpou wrong, but the show has a long way to go to become the World's longest running musical.

The Fantastiks ran for 40yrs in New York.

[RosieandEmma]

I despise this show so much.

[Anza1189]

yeh looks very professional labeling peter polycarpou as colm wilkinson

[tatyrules12]

what the heck, they need to label the cast right the first guy wasn't Colm Wilkinson, I would've gotten TICKED OFF lol i already am and its not even me
