if you think about it, in the 25th anniversary marius was really stupid. he chose cosette over fucking SAMANTHA BARKS she is basically a godess so marius: YOU ARE AN IDIOT
I don't like the kid who plays (and sorry if I spell this wrong) Corset; no offense to the kid but the person playing that role has to be shallow in the cheeks and skinny. Remember, the inn keepers starve her basically.
i really dont like this eponine despite the fact that she is from a bad background her character is meant to be nice and different to the other poor people but this actress makes the character too angry
@GarethMJTilley I agree with you...but if this really became the cast then it would be kind of creepy if Michael Ball played Marius...because he's like twice the age of Katie Hall...
Personally I think Rosalind James is amazing, but with a white and, usually, blonde young Eponine it is a bit annoying. Sure they want to be "colorblind", but at least have it make sense.
This is actually coming near to where I live at the Kravis center. I HAVE to go see it. This musical, besides Phantom of the Opera, is one of the most popular and I, unfortunately, do not know the story =(
I really don't like this that much. Katie Hall was in the musical concert at the O2 and in this, but no one else out of the O2 cast was in this version. I honestly dont like this and this cast does the 25th anniversary soundtrack. I really wish they used the O2 cast with Alfie Boe and them in this, and on the soundtrack. disappointed. :/
To those who say they don't like the new Version of Eponine... you really need to see her in person. She was obviously being over dramatic for the trailer. She was amazing and her voice just flowed with the music. I got goosebumps and almost cried and I'm a teenage boy. Best musical I've ever seen <3
@sweetnessboy1 While that's all well and good she shouldn't be over-dramatic for the trailer or any reason. Rule #1 for an actor is to play the truth of the character.
@UnMizable Then some of the cast members were also in the production I saw. I recognized Eponine and a couple others. The set was exactly the same they used in Dayton. Maybe they have more than one set touring. I know that not all the actors were the same, but some were.
@hairybud4u Well, the set design is exactly the same, but the cast is a completely different one, I can promise you that. They cast them very similarly in terms of looks but none of the UK cast (featured in this video) are or were part of the US tour at any point.
@UnMizable actually you have it backwards this is the U.S. tour cast (I saw it in Denver and you can look it up on the internet.) However you are right it is NOT the same cast as the one on West End in London
@bayliet No. This is the cast that was touring the UK and Paris, beginning in 2009 and ending in September 2010, the same one that recorded the live album. They have nothing to do with the US tour cast you saw apart from the fact that people were cast in a similar way. These are John Owen-Jones, Earl Carpenter, Katie Hall, Gareth Gates, Jon Robyns, etc. I know some of them. I have seen all of them live a couple of times.
I had a chance to see this production while on vacation in Washington DC, but didnt....now I will buy tickets for the show here at home in Dallas over Christmas!
I've seen utterly terrible renditions of this show....I'm glad to see it back in capable hands, hehehe........dang, now I really wanna read the novel, hehehe
The cast is great! I just wish Samantha Barks and Nick Jonas were on the tour, they're my favorite Eponine and Marius. But I'm still so excited to see it!
@saviinas Omg. I saw it in Denver too. On Saturday. They're in Tennesse by now. But my friend was in it! At the beginning, he was on of the guards with the giant hats. It was so awesome. We also had a talk back afterwards. I got to met the actors who played, John Veljean and...oh God, what's his name...Thenardier. "master of the house". It was so cool.
@sadierae1996 no way!!! man i wanna just shake the hand of the dude that played Valjean. his voice gave me goosebumps each time he sang....i know it sounds cheesy but he really did sing with such emotion it got me all teary. My fav scene though was "One Day More". ahhhhh i would do anything to watch it again!!!! and when eponine sang :On My Own" i just wanted to hug her lol
@saviinas I know! I was bawling when he sang, 'Bring Him Home'. It felt so weird to see Richard (my friend) singing behind those amazing people in 'One Day More'. Everytime I come back to this video to comment on it, I just get this twinge in my stomach telling me to go see it again, but they've left by now. Ah. It was by far the best musical I've ever seen. :)
i saw this in new jersey. i dont cry when realitives died, but i cried during the final attack. i love this show. i've played valjean javert and enjolras.
I saw this at the Queen's Theatre on 13th June. While it was excellent, the sets were nowhere near as elaborate as shown in this video :( such a shame! The bit at 2:14 was especially disappointing, Where was this shown?
@DJS6969 This was shown at the Barbican Theatre, I believe. This new production is also touring the United States, where I saw it in February. I actually prefer the more basic staging of the Queen's Theatre production. The new production does not have the revolving stage, which negatively affects some of the scenes.
@blyan85 I thought the revolving stage worked very well, don't get me wrong, I just felt as though it had been a little neglected! Eponime, The Thénardiers and Gavroche were especially fantastic. The biggest disappointment was the bridge! Javert here looks like he's really jumping and the background greatly adds to the effect. Queen's was just a bridge moving up (far too fast) while Javert stood in one place, hands in the air. and fell to the floor. Was that the same for you?
@DJS6969 from what i remember from the original staging, yes, that was how it was for me too. it has been eighteen years since i saw the production with the revolving stage... the suicide of javert was indeed much more powerful in the new production. another thing i forgot to mention about the new production is that it didn't have the text that appeared on the screen saying what year it was. that is another thing i liked about the original production.
does anyone know if its possible to get a dvd or cd of this casting of les mis??? wold really appricate it =3 I loved this cast ... they were amazing and the show itself was just brilliant =D
I'm sorry I don't know his name but I'm not digging this Enjolras, I just feel that the singing voice should be deeper or more powerful (like Michael Maguire or David Thaxton for example)
omg urgh they make this seem soooooo cool and then when i c the clips there AMAZING don't get me wrong but in this they make it seem so much more like a movie
@HappyThoughtsToU its the same in Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins too but its all because of this poltical corectness you see and not being racist etc. Its poltical corectness! :(
@HappyThoughtsToU LOL...the best part is during the attack on rue plumet, when one of thenardier's men says ''it's your brat, eponine. don't you know your own kid?!"
@HappyThoughtsToU Hahahahah! Oh my God! I'm so embarrassing. Haha I wrote that at like 2 in the morning. My bad. But yes, I now see where you're coming from. haha Also the young Eponine in the show was white as snow. Lol I was like, ok what happened here. haha
@sadierae1996 LOL Really? ... umm... she got really tan. I don't want to sound racist but if the casting directors were going to cast a black female to play Eponine, the least the could do if find a black little girl as well.
You can get the O2 show live performance on blu-ray DVD at amazon.co.uk, it doesn't seem to be available in the states, so you need a multi-region player to view it.
@kittierdg Yeah I know that (It's one of my xmas presents this year and can't wait) but I really want to know if they are every going to release a live cast VIDEO recording of the NEW 25th Anniversary Production. i.e. The full video of where all these clips were taken from! They've clearly filmed the entire production to produce this promo video! Does anyone know?!?
@Monkeyballmania well he's been doing acting since school. and recently he's just been going to a load of auditions, and he either heard about les mis from a friend, or someone recommended him to the producers. he was on the 25th anniversary stage too, as a part of the barbican cast (the ones in this video, obv lol)
@BenJames012 Awesome! The reason I asked is one of my friends went to audition for Gavroche in the West End on Tuesday but hasn't told me how to do it.
I've been looking for who will play Fantine also. I can't find any info!! And all it says on the Les Mis official website is that Lea Solanga played Fantine in the OZ concert, but I don't know if that means she will be touring and I can't find a clip of her from that concert.
I'm not sure; I can't find any actual information regarding that, but I think not. Josh Owen Jones, this version's Valjean, stated a few times that it was all over and he shaved his beard and all. I'm really not sure, I was asking.
@VBZBII I think you mean John Owen-Jones. He is phenominal. My fav Jean ValJean. Yes, he shaved his beard off as he starts a year run as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera in November. So if the US tour does go on, he wont be in it x
Oops, I did mean John Owen-Jones, sorry. He's my favorite ValJean as well. Aw, that's a shame; I have fifth-row tickets to the US tour of Les Mis for when it comes to Arizona in June, would've been wonderful to see him. I'm sure it'll still be spectacular, though.
The show tonight at The Barbican Theatre was brilliant. The whole cast were superb, every voice and the chorus and acting excellent. The scenery was so good too.
I watched this April at the hippodrome in birmingham it was AMAZING!!! I loved Garath Gates as Marius and OMG John Owen-Jones is the best Jean Valjean EVER!!!!!!!!
@jessmason14 I could watch it again and again with that UK tour cast aswell. I met John Owen Jones during one of the intervals on tour and got a picture with him in his costume and make up. Got oen with Gareth in his Marius gear aswell. Lynne Wilmot and Ashley Artus who play the Thenadier's so brilliantly were lovely when I met them aswell. Fab cast. I so so wish they would do one more round of a UK tour. The tour has been very short sadly.

I'm really confused on what to think now.
CaMack has now said that every production of Les Mis that opens from now on will be this new production.
So now I don't know whether:
1. This includes having the new orchestrations for school editions
2. Whether to want the West End production to close so that when it opens again it will be this.
3. Whether to keep the West End production open to keep the old production.

@HappyThoughtsToU Exactly! And (young)Eponine doesn't even have a speaking nor a singing part! What is there to lose? haha

@HappyThoughtsToU So I wasn't imagining that she was white at first then?

You can get the O2 show live performance on blu-ray DVD at amazon.co.uk, it doesn't seem to be available in the states, so you need a multi-region player to view it.

@kittierdg Yeah I know that (It's one of my xmas presents this year and can't wait) but I really want to know if they are every going to release a live cast VIDEO recording of the NEW 25th Anniversary Production. i.e. The full video of where all these clips were taken from! They've clearly filmed the entire production to produce this promo video! Does anyone know?!?

I always love how they do the inspector's death.
I will be dreaming the dream this Saturday at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey. I'm driving almost 4 hours to see this show and I can't wait.

@Monkeyballmania his names peter. he does some of the singing parts, like the announcer in the barricade, and a few more solo parts :)
BenJames012 1 year ago
@BenJames012 Awesome :) Could you ask him for me how he got the rare chance to do something like this?
Monkeyballmania 1 year ago
@Monkeyballmania well he's been doing acting since school. and recently he's just been going to a load of auditions, and he either heard about les mis from a friend, or someone recommended him to the producers. he was on the 25th anniversary stage too, as a part of the barbican cast (the ones in this video, obv lol)
BenJames012 1 year ago
@BenJames012 Awesome! The reason I asked is one of my friends went to audition for Gavroche in the West End on Tuesday but hasn't told me how to do it.

I've been looking for who will play Fantine also. I can't find any info!! And all it says on the Les Mis official website is that Lea Solanga played Fantine in the OZ concert, but I don't know if that means she will be touring and I can't find a clip of her from that concert.

I'm not sure; I can't find any actual information regarding that, but I think not. Josh Owen Jones, this version's Valjean, stated a few times that it was all over and he shaved his beard and all. I'm really not sure, I was asking.
VBZBII 1 year ago
@VBZBII I think you mean John Owen-Jones. He is phenominal. My fav Jean ValJean. Yes, he shaved his beard off as he starts a year run as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera in November. So if the US tour does go on, he wont be in it x
becky5428 1 year ago
@becky5428
Oops, I did mean John Owen-Jones, sorry. He's my favorite ValJean as well. Aw, that's a shame; I have fifth-row tickets to the US tour of Les Mis for when it comes to Arizona in June, would've been wonderful to see him. I'm sure it'll still be spectacular, though.

The show tonight at The Barbican Theatre was brilliant. The whole cast were superb, every voice and the chorus and acting excellent. The scenery was so good too.

@jessmason14 I could watch it again and again with that UK tour cast aswell. I met John Owen Jones during one of the intervals on tour and got a picture with him in his costume and make up. Got oen with Gareth in his Marius gear aswell. Lynne Wilmot and Ashley Artus who play the Thenadier's so brilliantly were lovely when I met them aswell. Fab cast. I so so wish they would do one more round of a UK tour. The tour has been very short sadly.
