Les Miserables 10th Anniversary I Dream A Dream

[sophiewill7935]

Team Ruthie!

[ilovejosephriviera]

I'm a huge Lea fan, and I loved her Eponine (best ever!) but I really prefer Ruthie as Fantine! Her voice isn't perfect like Lea's but that's what made her Fantine so utterly believable. Even though Lea was crying her eyes out during her performance as Fantine, it didn't affect me as much as Ruthie's performance. I love how the raw emotion in her voice makes it rough yet... beautiful. :D

[AnnieVesper]

I love Ruthie and her retro-sounding. She's best Fantine for me. I like Lea and Kerry too.

[SoundEnergyVideo]

This version came out the year of my birth, still can't stop listening to it!

[Thenachoscheese]

She's the best Fantine! Such emotion in her voice <3

[gupilen]

Vous avez raison ... c'est un ange.

[111melonhead]

[missemilyjd]

[missemilyjd]

[charl3s4bing]

so powerful and full of real emotion.

[sjwa100]

really amazing voice and song i loved it

[darkanuss]

what is the name of the singer??????

[cdciam09]

@darkanuss Ruthie Henshall

[NinjapsychicWonderlu]

the BEST version of this song I've heard yet! I love all the voices in the 10th anniversary more than any other version. this made me fall in love with the musical :)

[abarker55]

and some think Lea Salonga sings this better in the 25th Anniversary concert....shame on them....

[zolochnaya]

Beautiful.

[andresandrade55]

una cancion de la cual cualquier persona se puede enamorar y al mismo tiempo desemorarse por completo!!! :( es hermosa



[silencesings]

I was crying like a child when saw and heard this performance. Oh my god...So pure, simple, and beautiful...

[deafsubtitles]

@silencesings REALLY cuts to the heart this song does.

[maxiart]

But there are dreams that cannot be, and there are storms we cannot weather...

[LandOfTheUnicorns]

i've loved this musical since i can remember, my dad used to watch it every now and then when i was younger. i haven't watched it in so long now but i still love it.

[tinker3773]

I'm 12 and I really love Les Mis, It is really inspiring!

[MrTomkinz]

You know a song is a masterpiece when every verse gives you chills.

[sunrazor33]

Ruthie Henshall sung and played the charater Fantine. She did a excellent performance!

[londonmarcos]

No one in the world could or will sing this song better!! Love you Ruthie!!

[Strawberryjam1916]

Ruthie kicks ass in everything she does

[Ndc1Ch33r102]

@sanjayme27 Susan Boyle was also marketed throughout the world on network television as "hey check out this old woman... she annoyed the crap out of us until she started singing!!"

[sanjayame27]

Um...no comparisons needed with the legendary Patti Lupone (or her friend, the amazing Lea Salonga). Ruthie's competition is fellow Brit SUSAN BOYLE who succeeded where Ruthie failed: connect with the Brit public thru this song. Boyle even w/o Ruthie's training & experience has the better voice and is MILLIONS of times more popular, not just in theatre, not just in England, but the world over. No one even knows Ruthie outside of the West End. Leaves her in the dust as a domestic starlet...

[Noel34ify]

@sanjayame27 i cant help but get defensive for Ruthie...she kinda kicks Susan's Butt....

[horsecrazed75]

mesmerising.

i loved the 10th anniversary!

[calincalin]

Simply just hearttouching !

[alltheworldsastage03]

The first time I did this musical I was a freshman in High School and my band director was the show director and he passed away during the audition week while out on a Jazz trip with the jazz band. The musical meant so much more to me and then the next summer I performed it again at theater where I was Javert. It was the most fun I had ever had in a musical, but this song and Bring Him Home brought tears to my eyes just remembering him because it was all so beautiful. Rest in Peace Mr. Wrenn

[JstBreathe94]

I'm 16 and love broadway music. I have passionately also converted some of my friends to appreciate the theater like me :)

[judypriv]

God, I'm old. I saw this on Bway with this cast back in the 80's when I was a teen and still remember it this clearly.

[Abbytater]

She is absolutely my favourite Fantine. AMAZING.

[ferbrinner]

Inmortal... emotive... beautiful... three words to describe this perfect piece of art

[JeffUK]

Lea Salonga was good at the 25th anniversary show but Ruthie Henshall is definitely the best version I've ever heard. Nothing compares.

[tino1102]

@JeffUK the only thing that killed it was nick jonas, he's nothing compared to michael ball :l

[Abbytater]

@JeffUK Lea Salonga played Fantine? I thought she only played Eponine!

[CarriePont]

@JeffUK I agree. I think in the 25th they were trying to overact... this is a score where its the music and words that make the emotion come out, not the power of the voice. I hope you know what I mean...

[JeffUK]

@CarriePont

Yeah I totally agree. Salonga's version was kind of insincere and she was just going for the high notes (regardless of how it made her face look). Henshall's version just touches me on another level that I can hardly articulate.

[hpav92]

I saw this musical in 7th grade and I hated it. I think it was primarily because I was ignorant to the plot and whatnot. I love this song and would love to take the opportunity to see it again now that I'm older and would probably understand it better.

[vecmar123oh]

I own the DVD and video from this 10th Anniversary concert because I love each part of it..and if your lucky enough to reach my age you realize that Les Miserables is as true to life today as it was when Victor Hugo wrote the book. Learn to appreciate the good days and keep hope alive to accept the future or make it better for the world.

[palani122]

I LOVE IT THUMBS OP IF YOU LOVE IT TO <3!

[asucme]

Cea mai buna voce feminina pe care am ascultat-o in ultimul an; melodia face parte din muzicalul bazat pe romanul Les Misérables de Victor Hugo.

[jimsilver111]

Les misserabless is very fantasticly musicala and i love this musical was in in the Prague!! good

[Bamaboys]

I'm not ashamed to admit that this song brought me to tears more than once.

[tallpojjy]

I was lucky enough to work with Ruthie in 1997 at CFT, on "Divorce Me, Darling" - such a star, always will be. Such a genuine, sensitive performer.

[lucyxu01]

A pure classic <3

[a18205630]

超愛這首歌的啦!^^

[yaelalt9]

This is wonderful.

[CrazyRhianne]

I love this song!!!

Love the musical

And LOVE Ruthie!!! :D

[tdsgnr]

One word to describe this song: beautiful. I'm 16 and maybe at my age most of the people don't like this kind of music but I do. It's way better than actual songs.

[deafsubtitles]

You don't need to apologize for your music taste's. I was into oldies before it became "fashionable." I have an eclectic tatse, not just one or two genre.

Enjoy.

[jaraha]

Exactly, all my favorite music is from the 60's, I'm 22.

[snoopy6699]

@deafsubtitles u r right good music remains through time, now u r 16 when ull be 40 ull see this song will still be beautyfull, but many (not all) of whats "cool" today will be forgotten. i was 16 in 82 and used to secretly cry with opera since we were acdcs fans hahaha.

[sittingduckss]

@tdsgnr Don't worry man, this is real music. It takes real talent to write and sing songs like this - talent that these people truly cherish and nurture. Not like music nowadays when any nobody with a bit of auto-tune and post-production can be thought of as having a great voice.

[luuvingmusic1]

@tdsgnr ha ha i m young too and I love this song

[Belindasa]

i first saw this when i was 10 at the palace theatre in london in 1988...i still love it...
