Les Misérables " ABC Cafe / Red and Black " Do You Hear the People Sing?"

[DIWolfpack]

Its better than an opera!

[TheActorWithNoLines]

This.. is the true Dream Cast. Even after being in Les Miserables, this edition just blows me away. Les Miserables is one of the best musicals ever.

[DIWolfpack]

RED THE BLOD OF ANGRY MEN, BLACK THE DARK OF AGES PAST!

Le mis is probabaly the best play ever.

[Dancer4eva111897]

Ramin is just damn sexy. Both enjolras' are great for different reasons

[robcox2]

I think Ramin is better than Michael. Yes Michael sings it well and is very assured but Ramin is far more expressive and passionate and acts the part better rather than just standing there and singing it. The only thing missing from the 25th anniversary version is a decent Marius. Nick is very poor and should never have been asked to take part. I can understand their reasons for asking him but he simply isn't good enough.

[ryan9710]

I think the movement in the 10th anniversary was poorly done, there are many times were the actors just stand around awkwardly, however the singing is superb

[Vanyaloth]

@ryan9710 Well it was staged as a concert and not a theatrical production...

[KatyHallow]

I like both his portrayal and Ramin's portrayal for different reasons. Michael seems very assured, not at all afraid, and a bit strict. Ramin's Enjolras is a bit more scrappy and impulsive but extremely passionate. It's really up in the air at this point, as I really like them both.

[Pregolegs]

@KatyHallow I agree, both Michael Maguire and Ramin Karimloo were fantastic! I had been looking for the words to describe Michael's Enjolras, and you provided the perfect description-"very assured, not at all afraid, and a bit strict". Michael's Enjolras seems to lead by commanding people to follow him, while Ramin's Enjolras does the soft sell, acting like one of them while recruiting them.

[IDontShine423]

I love how Gavroche rolls his eyes, shakes is head, and glares like, "Yeah, bitches. You shoud've listened to me."

[Pregolegs]

I love how Michael Ball puts the little nuance in the word "there" at 3:26

[Sanghelios5]

im singine epotine for my school cast

[Sanghelios5]

4 people must be deaf or something



[Sanghelios5]

i love this video so much

[awkarla]

I love hearing Michael Ball sing "DESPAAAAAIR!" and comparing it to Nick Jonas' fairly pathetic attempt. It never fails to make me laugh.

[easterbunny13]

@awkarla agreed! i was so disapointed when i heard the newer version... this song was my first tattoo... not only that but my mom and sister got matching ones with me... nick should never have gotten the part...

[djaznh]

@easterbunny13 Oh I know! I can still hear his whiny vocals. :(

[TheVideosrock]

I do like Ramin but Michael Maguire portrays the leader amazingly, the deep voice is full of emotion and power which is perfect for the part. He gets my vote.

[simplystreeptacular]

@TheVideosrock For me, stacking Ramin Karimloo up against Michael Maguire is like stacking Samantha Barks up against Salonga and Ruffelle. Karimloo's a great actor with a great voice, but he'll never be as good as Maguire. Ditto Barks - good, even great, but not as good as Salonga and Ruffelle.

[TheVideosrock]

@simplystreeptacular Good point.

[abemessiah96]

i am so impressed. what is the name of that main guy singing. hes great

[TheVideosrock]

@abemessiah96 Michael Maguire, Great Singer

[poehlerbear91]

I definitely like this Marius better. He carries it and "reacts" a lot more. I'm kind of up in the air about Enroljas...although I adore Ramin. Such a good song. :3

[TheAngelofmusic12345]

apparently grantaire is Anthony Crivello. I just saw him live in las vegas as the Phantom. He sucked 

[dayl140]

i dont really like who played gavroche, but other than that, perfect!

[Potts132]

@MrDan1906 Not really. They are aloud to not like what you like

[prue6967]

This is amazing, but I have to say, I prefer Ramin as Enroljas.

[IBswiMusic369]

"Who cares about your lonely soul?" LOL

[IBswiMusic369]

AHAHAHA i love when marius's friend makes fun of him sooo funny :D perfect.

[ChristinaShea98]

Lovely.

[nascarnbafan]

epic lag but still i like Ramin has more power

[TheJonasEmpire]

I still believe Ramin has a better 'LEADER' look if you know what I mean....

[speccrusastrum]

@Savitta impressive is an understatement

[MrDan1906]

i love this video!

[SmokenTotalled]

I actually don't like this Enjolras very much. I haven't head another version so maybe this is the best, but I find his voice strange and hard to understand when he starts to talk(sing) faster.

[JeSuisPrest1743]

@SmokenTotalled I agree this is certainly not my favorite Enjolras. Say what you want, Ramin Karimloo is the best Enjolras I've heard. He's got that epic cry in his voice that just makes you melt. I also don't particularly like this Grantaire. However, Marius...sigh...

[calico675]

0 dislikes!! Lets keep it that way :)

[Poet2916]

is anyone else really bothered by the way he says "Don Juan" at 1:43..THE J IS SILENT MAN! It's a Spanish name, but I'm nit-picking...I just like the delivery of that line better in the 25th anniversary...but that, next to Norm Lewis, was about the ONLY thing I like in the 25th cast, XD

[HaraldJoe69]

@Poet2916 I was angry about the pronunciation too, but it turns out in the poem 'Don Juan' by Lord Byron (which is what they are referencing probably), it is pronounced like joo-an

[MargolottaVetinari]

@Poet2916 well, aside from the Lord Byron poem, Grantaire is probably mocking the Don Juan thing all by itself ... you know, making fun of a person by mispronouncing their name on purpose and all that.

I think it's funny, though. I love Grantaire's character :3

[MargolottaVetinari]

@Poet2916 if you listen to the original Broadway recording, which also has Michael Maguire as Enjolras, during the "Don Joo-an" bit people are laughing because Grantaire is making fun of silly love-struck Marius

[roxalicious]

best 8 mins of les mis

[recapdrake]

i think i broke my computer replaying the "come when we calllllllllll" of lamarque is dead

[katiechan4]

enjolras is so handsome.... :'(

[horerfandod3]

You know what the amazing thing is about Micheal Maguire (enjolras)? He was sick with the flu when he did this performance. Now thats dedication :)

[24FramesforChrist]

<3 I think I just found someone who plays Marius just as well as our local guy. and I really like this Enjolras!

[nicki446]

Michael > Ramin.

[HaraldJoe69]

@nicki446 By far! The internet is far too filled with Ramin fangirls. Ramin has a lot of pitch issues... he goes sharp a lot on any note he holds for longer than half a second. Michael on the other hand is fucking pro!

[daniekilljoy]

@HaraldJoe69 Agreed. I love Ramin but I can't picture him as a "leader". Michael portrays this character very well.

[jelliclekat24]

@HaraldJoe69 Michael Maguire is freaking AMAZING, and thats coming from a Ramin fangirl lol. I love them both SOOOOOOOOO much!!

[jelliclekat24]

@nicki446 I'd have to say Michael = Ramin.. I love them both too much to choose..

[brydar2109]

the best of the best



[Savitta]

The color of DESPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was impressive. :)

[Sneezepaw]
