@rachegotter just because some one is american does not mean that they think that life is all mery and sunshine. Just because some one says les mis is a depressing play does not mean they don't know what hard times are. It is a sad play, it is meant to be. Yes, americans are spoiled. That does not mean they think the world is wonderful
Its been years since I've seen this musical! I love it! This scene gets me every time. I'm so excited the touring company is coming back to Chicago next year!
Every time I hear the ending of this musical, I get chills, it is so good. I love this fantastic show. I have seen it five times, once on Broadway in NY. Still my favorite!!
They held this play in GBS my freshmen year and I horribly regret that I DIDN'T SEE IT. I was blown away by the preview yet didn't buy any tickets. Argh. Glad that i get to see the wonderful bits on youtube here. Gosh, we had some great talent back then.
Valjean was not bad but he should learn his lyrics. As an actor who has played Valjean several times, I know it's a hard role, but there's no excuse for any actor to not know his words. It's one thing to slip up. That's forgivable; it happens to the best of us. But it's clear that he was never clear on the lyrics here and I don't understand how you can play a character without knowing your LINES. Anyway, besides that Fantine, Marius, Cosette, Eponine and the ensemble did awesome.
aww love this. im currently in the production of les miserables at rabbit run theater in madison, im playing cosette and im always crying in this scene its so sad :[[
if you mean on broadway...well they're both off. but if you want to do a community production, you just have to keep checking up on your community theaters. les mis is more popular with community theaters tho.

lol wow, the worst broadway has to offer. i hate mainstream shows like Wicked and spring awakening. they are blown out of proportion when they are ridiculously average. REAL shows are God of Carnage, All My Sons, EQuus, Next To Normal, Waiting for Godot, Hair, etc.
Aida is one of the best musicals!!! It can be difficult to sing, but the music is beautiful. Haha Verdi is turning in his grave--Johnny One Note!! And Wicked wasn't included because it's so over-rated and isn't even that good.
hey read Don't laugh at this!

He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
Phantom is my favorite musical of all time.... Les Miserables is the most powerful and emotionally beautiful....Aida- was ok......and not in the same ballpark as the other two heavyweight musical phenomenons
@DaughterxOfxBlaze I only prefer Les Miz to Phantom because it's a lot less depressing. I mean, "and all men shall have their reward" and happiness or "it's over now, the music of the night" and the Phantom is depressed forever?
@sworebythestars since I posted that comment long ago I'd have to say this has moved up to my favorite musical. I really love depressing stories though :)
I'm a bit sick of phantom though, I was just in it you see and you can only rehearse Masquerade so many times before going insane xD
@DaughterxOfxBlaze This has been my favorite for a looong time. xD It's just so... so... beyond words awesome. And it is kinda depressing, too! So... eh. BUTILOVESIT. And I saw the US tour in June and ohmygod... Jeremy Hays... can I keep him? He's as close to Book!Enjy as Musical!Enjy can get!!
D'aww. x'D Masqueraaaade... paper faces on paraaade...
Went to see this in London and loved every min of the show...cried like a baby and couldnt talk to anyone when we left...very powerfull...very moving.
i did this in my performing arts class. i apsolutly love these two songs. DO you here the people sing. I had to be the person who led the song. god lol memorys. i miss it :(
Strange: he sang "your mother gave her life for you and gave ME to YOUR keeping ! I have seen this show 10 times and it used to be: and gave you to my keeping !!!!!1 Stagefright maybe ?

the filming is preeeety bad. i mean if ur gonna set urself up to do such a thing, especailly if u intend of watching it later...u should do the job properly.
I think this was my high school! I'm almost sure of it! I recongize the voice of Marius!
Brentwood High produced it in 2003 when I was a freshman but I was in first year choir so I couldn't preform in it. I think I hear my boyfriend's voice somewhere in the choir...
Brentwood High, TN is redoing Les Miserables again this Spring 2008!
the only thing i would say would be for d music to be slower at the beginning when valjean is singing.... nonetheless, fantastic!!! loved it!! cosette and fantine - spot on!!! xxxx
OH. MY. GOD. You are all incredible. Whenever I see Les Mis, Cosette's reaction to the note gets me every time...I start tearing up, feeling her emotion...losing her father...putting myself in that same position. So sad...but God, it's the best musical and story in the world. Never will there be such a touching story of love, life, redemption, and death.
Thank you! =) This musical is just...wow. The best thing to ever reach human ears and hearts. I cried for ten minutes straight after I finished the book!
I don't think it's a revival version. Fantine's hair is blonde, and the revival's wig is brown due to Daphne Ruben Vega and Lea Salonga. Also, Fantine sounds too good to be Daphne, and doesn't sound like Lea at all.
