The Les Mis Contract - Matt Lucas, Cameron Mackintosh & Alfie Boe

[VolleyballQueen2016]

Is it Alfie that says "idiot" at the end?

[Jessahness]

I find it ironic that they were joking about casting Thenardier beside Alfie.. who didn't even get cast as Valjean. I find it just a waste of talent. He IS Valjean.

[TehMagicLlama]

I laugh so hard that they named 2 people who were in the running for Thenardier, and Sacha Baron Cohen, who got the role

[lilithmoon1979]

this was clearly set up and its completely funny hahahha!

[lilithmoon1979]

the face of alfie at 1.24 HI-LA-RI_OUS

[szweerts]

Not sure why Alfie said "he is gay" when Cameron mentioned Nathan Lane. He knew that both Matt and Cameron are gay, right?

[PianoKwanMan]

@szweerts

Well actually matt said it...

[phanofjohn]

like the "idiot" comment at the end!

[phanofjohn]

Too bad Cameron didn't take this seriously! Both of those men should have been in the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlfredRietmann]

fantastic clip......i have cramps from laughing so much.....well done!

[ktie28]

Soooo funny! Facial hair takes ages away... Look at Matt he looks like a baby lol!

[JeffUK]

:/ I know Hugh Jackman is good but...

Alfie Boe, for me, is an amazing Valjean and I don't think Jackman could top him. To begin with could Jackman really challenge Boe's vocal talents?

I say cast the person who is vocally the best.

[Clairski3]

Love these three. I'm so glad West End talent is finally getting the media attention it deserves. So tired of these half-baked pop acts/reality shows claiming to be talented. These three are pure gold, along with the rest of the West End Les Mis cast.

[naeelx8x9b]

Please Matt and Alfie for the film..... they're brilliant together :)

[AnnielovesTaylor]

"eight shows a week?!"

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

Alfie Boe looks so different without the facial hair...

[DjTokenMusic]

what do you know...Sir Mackintosh has classic straight man comic timing

[CHEKIExoxo]

alfie is absolutely adorable. 

[broadwaybeltit]

I swear, Alfie isn't even the same person when he's shaved!! :O

[ItachiUchiha2010]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA!!!!!! I love Alfie's face during this.

[beastphantom]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHA AWESOME

[bels10]

I would have Matts babies if he was straight!

[sweeneysebbyalucard]

Matt Lucas for the movie!

[ThePag09]

Please cast the ENTIRE West End cast at the very moment for the film. Every single one of them are perfect in their roles. Saw it on Saturday and it was absolutely brilliant :D

[DanceUntilYouDie]

muahahahahahah i saw them both at queen's theatre last week, it was AMAZING. I cried straight through from A Little Fall of Rain to the end :P alfie, you were INCREDIBLE <3

[chinagirl84]

Brilliant!

[metallikat1992]

i think this little clip might have just made my life :D kept laughing at alfie just staring in the camera lmao! i love these guys, i really do! xD

[bookloverholic]

Matt Lucus and Alfie Boe for the film

[rpgfantatic]

@bookloverholic: Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to play Valjean :(

[bookloverholic]

yayyyyy i saw him and alfie in les mis on the 3rd of August

[DrinkOmally]

it should definetly being alun armstrong, colm wilkinsons voice probably isnt strong enough for all of the valjean part anymore (or maybe it is) but alun armstrong is one of the only original cast members who could still play the part because there isnt really any age restriction on thenardier also his face looks sort of like a mouse or rat. Almost like he was born for it also it would be nice to have at least one of the original cast members playing their part and he is well known in britain

[531jorel]

If it's not Matt Lucas - I cast a vote for Timothy Spall!

[TheVildee]

I saw them on their first night June 23 :) They were both amazing, and gave each other a good hug on stage in the end! So cute :)

[xXSweeneyLovettXx]

I sooooooo wanna see Matt as Thenardier, he was fantastic in the concert!!

[Sandra123064]

Alfie Boe as Valjean in the film or I swear I'll boycott........

[horerfandod3]

@Sandra123064 People. I looked it up, Jean Valjean will more likely be played by hugh jackman!

[xxKYLiEEEox8]

Alfie Boe as Valjean and Matt Lucas as Thenadier for the film! (:

[triplecdance]

Hahaha!! I love this!!!



[immunocop]

Absolutely hilarious...

[ShLinGyPoPsIcLes]

Does ANYONE have the dates for when Hadley Fraser is not in it yet?

[kikihappy54]

I totally spazzed when I heard the dates. I'm seeing it this summer!

[dunnomyname17]

Lucas reminds me so much of David Brent here.

[aranelcalen88]

I love Alfie playing the straight man, probably easier that way not to laugh haha

[ektwicked]

Ruthie Henshall should play Fantine in the movie!!!!!

[ribbaable]

Love Cameron Mackintosh, noy only a great producer but he always has a laugh too.

[ektwicked]

U need to get Ruthie Henshall as Fantine for the movie!!!! It would be the best!

[futurefiyero]

Dream movie cast- alfie boe as Jean valjean, Michael kasroff as thenardier, Katie hall as cosette, Lea salonga as eponine, Michael ball as marius

[philemon101]

@futurefiyero Lea Salonga and Michael Ball is not anymore fit for the role...though they are the most perfect for the role...but look at the age Katie is too young to be match with Michael

[Bean2of7]

Brilliant video....so funny.....but I hope Cameron was joking about Jim Carrey or Mike Myers for Thenardier......

[ITSDANIELCROSSLEY]

Cameron Mackintosh is sooooo bloody false, PC and irritating. Love hsi productions but I hate him as a person. This video just makes me cringe, he's so false!

[sarahfosnaught]

Hilarious. Just hilarious.

[riverhorse13]

i love this vid.....poor alfie wants to be anywhere else, cameron is trying to maintain control of the situation, and matt is being matt. they all play off each other famously and i know that this run of le miz will be incredible. "break a leg" alfie & matt.

[IheartZorro]

Alfie looks so young without the beard! About 20 years difference with and without!

[rich88b]

I hope Matt gets the part in the film of my FAVOURITE musical that I first saw way back in the 80s when Michael Ball was Marius!!! Alfie's face cracks me up and Cameron is brilliant in this clip!!!!!

[portmeiriontours]

why is Cameron so false? I hate it when people can't be natural to save their life

[Kalionzes]

HOly sh&t... Working Title films, good choice Cameron!

[byebyebirdy100]

i really really want alfie boe to be in the movie!!

[composerbeef]

@byebyebirdy100 He's not...Hugh Jackman is playing Valjean

[ThatoneFatGuy8D]

I'd go gay for matt lucas.

[gags24601]

I hope Matt and Alfie will appear in the Les MIz movie. They were good in the concert. Does anyone know the release date for the film. I WANT IT NOW!!!!

[eurasianfeline]

I LOVE THIS.

[hecate235]

Poor Alfie, playing the straight man to these two. Wonder how many takes it took. Now THAT'S acting.

Cameron, I do hope Matt and Alfie are on your short lists. And, just in case the movie falls through, please consider filming one of their West End performances. You could put it out on dvd, it'd sell like hotcakes.

[TwistandSh0ut]

If you would like Alfie to play Valjean in the movie, then sign this petition! :D Replace the (DOT) with an actual period when you paste it into the URL.

bit(DOT)ly/gT1aUU

[Toriisawesomeful]

i want Alfie to play Jean Valjean!!!!!Cameron Macentosh is truly crazy if he doesn't cast him. To:Alfie Boe

i am your biggest fan Alfie.When i hear you sing, you just take my breathe away... I cant even blink!!!! i hope i don't sound like a stalker or something, but I'm writing this here because you don't have a fan email address yet!! please try to get 1 soon if you can From: Victoria G.

[ceebeecee56]

Love this video. A plea: With 60 million people worldwide having seen Les Miserables, the expectation is high that Jean Valjean will be able to sing the role. Nothing less will do. Alfie Boe proved that he is Jean Valjean with the gravitas and truthfulness the role requires. The O2 cameras captured a masterful performer with the skill to make the future film memorable. The heft and range of his voice and the soulfulness of his eyes will play well to the big screen. Alfie Boe is a revelation.

[Rob12408]

This is TOO hilarious ! Love this. 

[INAME4146]

top of the trees hilarious this one mates! I love Alfie Boe's Jean Valjean, completely reinvented but without taking away from Colm's - Amazing feat!

[lilsisasu]

I love how Alfie's is just keeping his cool!

[scullen08]

I have tickets for 7th July... my birthday... *squeals*

[riverhorse13]

the 3 of them together is priceless...alfie is the perfect "foil" for matt & cameron....just sitting there; wondering "WHAT am i doing here" and listening to matt ramble on and on and on....the bit with the pastries is wonderful.

[RedKingCommandz]

lol Alfie Boe absoloutely made this video for me, just his innocent face and his quiet comments made it even more hilarious :P

[MishraArtificer]

The first thing that came to mind when I heard Cameron Mackintosh mention Geoffrey Rush: "I thought he was playing Javert?!!"

Anyone else remember that version with him, Liam Neeson, and Claire Danes? (...and I almost forgot Uma Thurman...shame)

[lesmizfanatic90]

here is my dream cast for the movie

Valjean- John Owen Jones

Javert- Norm Lewis

Fantine- Lea Salonga

Marius- Gareth Gates

Eponine- Samantha Barks

Thenardier- David Tennant

Cosette- Lucie Jones

Enjolras- Ramin Karimloo

Madame Thenardier- Catherine Tate

[RedKingCommandz]

@lesmizfanatic90 wow!! thats exactly mine! except for lea salonga playing Fantine.

i also thought that Rowan Atkinson would make a great Thenerdier :P

[portmeiriontours]

@lesmizfanatic90 not a bad choice. I like the thought of Catherine Tate as MT even if she is not fat enough for the role!

[Sueb18631]

I'd love to see Quast as Javert too, but he's too old for the part now.

[bayuhh]

OMG. a movie. i can't breathe.

[EmilYxSax]

June the 23'd is my birthday :) Like I'd forget that day ♥

[cecariah0263]

If they are doing a movie, I'd really like to see Philip Quast as Javert.

[Juliecardwell1]

Love this so much, you are all fab, looking forward to Les Mis in the Summer.

It's going to be such a fantastic experience to see Matt & Alfie together on stage, can't wait !

[xoxoMandieRosexoxo]

[DuchessRococoPuff]

No Jonas. Make Lea Michele Eponine. But make her UGLY, as the novel dictates.

But, anyway. MOVIE YES.

[DarthxErik]

[BelleBlackguard]

[DarthxErik]

[Enjolrason7374]

Alfie Boe for Jean Valjean in Les Mis, the film

[iAsian92]

[jantherussellfan]

Reallly happy we are getting Hadley, Alfie and Matt, but please Mr Mackintosh, no Nick Jonas. Oh and please, please, please can you get Ramin Karrimloo to play Enjoras in your film.

[happyhen88]

I would absolutely love Alfie to play Valjean in the movie and I think Matt would be great as well..look no further Cameron Macintosh!!

[HayLeighAnd]

"alright mr opera!"

[Realworldexperiance2]

I would love it if Alun Armstrong were in the movie. It would be amazing if Colm Wilkinson were in the movie as Jean Valjean.

[philfletch54]

Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!

[AliSwan91896]

haha, but goodness are they serious? seems a bit mean spirited...

[Bric]

This is a better comedy sketch than most things on television.

[ADAYTOREMEMBER94]

When is Alfie coming to the West End? And which production will they both be in?

[misswaffle123]

Alfie's face at 1.25 :D!!

I think Ramin Karimaloo should be in the film :D and Matt and Alfie of course! <3
