  • Nick Jonas disliked this video

  • Seeing past, present and future makes me tear up every time I watch this. God it's beautiful. :)

  • Amazing!!!

  • Oh my Gosh! Original and Always be the part of my childhood life, they was old yes, but there spirit was YOUNG!!

  • Impressive facial hair should be a requirement for playing Valjean of Javert.

  • When I first got into Les Mis, I downloaded an edition of The Confrontation, and though I always recognized Colm as the Valjean in it, I didn't know Javert, but now I see it's the 1985 edition with Roger Allam, so cool :)

  • i start crying when they all start clapping for each person. you can just see what they are feeling. ahhhh this is just beautiful!

  • 2:17 eargasm

  • Phillip Quast disliked this video

  • i am doing les mis atm nd its absoulte brilliant

    

  • unbelivable

  • Wow! there is nothing else to say! Goosebumps!

  • WOW i nearly died from the sheer amazement of Mr Michael Ball xxx <3

  • Oh Colm--in all your 67 year old awesomeness--you made my day.

  • this gives me gosebumps and makes me cry, this has to be the best song from any musical, ever.

  • The 10th Anniversary != The Original Cast. The Original Cast is the 1985 London Cast. The 10th Anniversary happened 10 years after that, (in 1995). The 10th anniversary had different people for Javert, Thenardier, Cosette and Eponine (amongst others).

  • My goosebumps just got goosebumps

  • WHERE THE FLAG??? haha 

  • why didn't they have Lea Salonga in there as Eponine?

  • @bels10

    she wasn't in the original cast dude

  • @jhniscolV2 ? the 10 anniversary? Yes she was, she was Eponine.

  • @bels10

    she was a part of the 10th anniversary NOT the original

    the cast singing is the ORIGINAL cast, not the 10 year cast.

  • Michael Ball will always be Marius Pontmercy <3

  • every time i ear ramin karimloo my heart skips a beat <3

  • Michael Ball FTW

  • I love Colm Wilkinson! Best ValJean ever!

  • I bow down in shame before Roger Allam's mighty beard and voice ... and BEARD! For the sake of God look at that hefty beard!

  • @Vitruvian99  Best Beard rver...i wonder if it's fake? Doubt it though.

  • @barra193 Real. Grew one for his part (Falstaff) in Henry IV Part 1 & Part 2.

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone else think Ramin Karimloo needs to be the next Valjean?

  • @TheAxelMan100 maybe, when he's older. But for now, he is such a beautiful Enjolras, let's keep him in that role a little bit longer :D

  • @yamifannetje I agree, best Enjolras I've seen yet:D But, with his talent and today's make-up, he's ready any time;)

  • michael ball kicked nick jonas musical ass :P

  • @PeruEnReview Nick Jonas basically killed Marius. for some reason, a review called it an "inspired bit of casting" i think it was a nice why of asking "what the fuck was this tone deaf asshole thinking??!?!?!?!" but that is just me :-)

  • This is so damn awesom, i think i just might buy some of this dvds

  • Not that I don't enjoy Ramin, but any reason why the original Enjolras couldn't make it?

  • @MrSean24601 I have wondered the same. :) at the 10the anniversary concert he wasn't there too. but he wouldn't have surpassen, maybe not even equalled Ramin nor Michael Mcguire

  • @MrSean24601 He said he couldn't cut it vocally anymore. I don't think anyone would have minded to be honest, but still, if not him, then Ramin's the next best thing.

  • Sooooo, Eponine kinda looks like snooki from jersey shore...

  • whos the lady next to michael ball

    

  • @lwest20 That would be Rebecca Caine, Les Miserables' original Cosette. :)

  • @lwest20 Sarah Brightman. She was the original Cosette.

  • @TheAxelMan100 Sorry, false, not Brightman:P

  • @lwest20 Ruthie Henshaw , Fantine from the tenth anniversary concert, she looks so different!

  • Ramin must be shocked by being allowed to sing with that legendary talent! he deserves it

  • im so sure some guy is good enough at editing that he could have the best parts of the 2 anniversary plays in one movie

  • Comment removed

  • thank god nick didnt sing and ruin it

  • Frankly, I'm surprised the chemistry between Michael Ball and Rebecca Caine didn't burn the O2 to the ground. If the joy on their faces was fire, the entire stadium would be ablaze.

  • I think this is among the musical numbers that have moved me the most. The greatness of the song just speaks for everything.

  • WOW!!!! This song never fails to give me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. I've seen so many versions of it but Colm Wilkinson will always be my perfect Valjean. Simply sensational to see so many great singers back together.

  • if you had legs like Frances you would show them off too!!!!

    Happy Birthday Frances!!! THE BEST Eponine EVER

  • i have no idea why but that made me really emotional

  • This is the greatest musical EVER!!!!! Phantom of the Opera has nothing on this.

  • @Theobserverdude I love both.

  • Perfect.

  • I like at 2:30 when the guy in the background whistles, then wipes his mouth in front of the camera! XD

  • 1 dislike... Obviously someone has a disease where he's going to die in 5 hours... No Days More!

  • @MissSaxophone3 Clap.

    Clap.

    Clap.

    Clap.

  • ramin karimloo... <3

  • Wait, is the original enjolras dead? In the first performance of one day more at the 25th anniversary, I noticed he did that whole head shoulder tappy god thingy ( I'm not a very good Christian...)

  • @Mekaworker the original Enjorlas is not dead apparently he had a bad voice on the night. Anyway you can see him wolf whistling when the Thenardiers start to sing.

  • @leedscab123

    @Mekaworker

    I was under the impression that he was late that night.

  • @leedscab123 I heard that he just didn't feel that he could sing the role anymore.

  • As awesome as this is (and it is awe inspiring) when I didn't see Quast I was disappointed.

  • @Amarathine

    I know!!! Quast is the only Javert

  • Roger Allam could have played Valjean right there and then with that BadAss beard!

  • not a very good Epinine....(throws up)

  • @comedynut2011 same singer as the london and original broadway cast, surprisingly. still, even in those recordings, i didn't enjoy her voice as much as other eponines i've heard

  • @Muffinprincess09 but still! it's him! it wasn't nearly as amazing as the 10th anniversary

  • They are soooooo freaking amazing!!!!!

  • Now that's what I call Jalvert.

    I could listen to that actor sing those bits all day.

  • @MrBuch169169 One day later.... that's basically what I did.

  • @MrBuch169169 I've done the exact same thing for the past 3 days also, love the OLC Javert.

  • its sad that the original 10th anniversary javert isn't there he was so good back then!

  • who else loves how Colm says more?

  • Comment removed

  • Je suis tres fière d étre Français pays des révolutions qui on changé la face de l Europe et du monde, longue vie a la République, la démocratie et la liberté universelle

  • i so wish that Philip Quast could have been a part of that!

  • roger allam and norm lewis should have done a stars duet

  • @DrinkOmally I have to agree with you that would be awesome! But to make even more awesome, you might have to ask Phillip Quast to join in the duet and make it a trio!:)

  • Comment removed

  • is the enjolras at 3:26 with his back to the camera Thaxton?

  • @dts0301 No, that's John Robyns!

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • The original cast basically showed the 2011 production that "this is how you do it".

  • Everyone is at full power. What a big blast. Blows me away every time!

  • AMAZING!!! :)

  • That was AMAZING... It gave me goosebumps:)

  • One of the most magical moments in music history!!! The look on Michael Ball's face when he says "My place is here" and gestures towards everyone! Any how the original Cosette closes here eyes at the very beginning while she's listening to the opening music. This literally made me SOB! Goodness, I LOVE Les Miserables.

  • S H I V E R S ! ! ! X

  • Please watch my performance of on my own, by searching Trudi McManus - on my own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

  • Who's the one jerk who disliked this? Lol

  • I was so happy when they brought out the 10th anniversary cast...it made the encore almost better than the actual concert lol.and i love watching how much fun Alun Armstrong and Jenny Galloway(thenardiers) are having :) but the girl singing eponine's part did not fit...where's she from?

  • @emmamk96 It's not the 10th anniversary cast, it's the original London cast. The girl playing eponine was the original :-) She does have a rather unique voice, it's very cockney, which I think is what they were going for.

  • I was so happy when they brought out the 10th anniversary cast...it made the encore almost better than the actual concert lol..but the girl singing eponine's part did not fit...where's she from?

  • @emmamk96 The girl who played Eponine, Samantha Barks is from the Isle of Man.

  • At 3:19 - 3:21 the army man (Ramin Karimloo) looks as though he's about to cry :') such an amazing moment to be singing with probably the most amazing people in theatre history! :')

  • Michael Ball's Marius totally just bitch slapped Nick Jonas' Marius. :P

  • awwww....so lovely

  • Amazing. I kind of don't understand why Nick didn't stand next to Michael but whatever. They were amazing and I love watching this.

  • Check out the beard of the original Javert Roger Allam like Grizzly Adams.

  • 3 eponines and 4 ValJeans lol

  • Comment removed

  • so much talent together....amazing

  • HAVE just watched th e 02 version and there is no comparison It doesnt even come close !!!!!

  • so Frances…where'd the rest of your dress go?

  • @carecare91 I don't know, and quite frankly, I don't really care. *stares*

  • I got chills although I think the original morius was having a bit to much fun lol

  • I have seen this i dont know how many times and its STILL gives me goosebumps!

  • I'm sorry.. But I feel as though Lea is the best Eponine..

  • Is the Enjolras of the London cast Dead?

  • @Baemawfaw Not as far as I know, I think he just felt his voice wasn't up to singing the part again so decided not to perform.

  • Spectacular

  • Brilliant

  • the beginning they were all off beat, eponine sounds is flat and whiny

  • chills,,,anyone?

  • Goose.Bumps. Holy @$&?!!!!!!!!

  • Tomorrow we'll discover

    What our God in Heaven has in store!

    One more dawn

    One more day

    One day more!

  • @JimmyinChrist ...Amen!!!

  • Heartbreaking, Gotta love eponine on my own and valjean bring him home

  • How I miss these guys, there were brilliant!

  • Omg I just died of happiness!!

    Brilliance! Brilliance!!!

    D'x

  • 1 person missed the like button (that or he's deaf)

  • One word BRILLIANT, love it !!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • This is possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Love Colm's reactions all the way through and everyone just seems to be really enjoying themselves. Anything that has such previously unknown talents as Alife Boe has to be amazing. I have the upmost respect for Nick Jonas for breaking away from the pop star life style and showing the world what an amazing voice he actually has. Really fitting tribute to such an amazing musical.

  • holy shit just watching this again and oh god.... the love in michael ball's voice when he sings, "my place is HERE, i fight with you!"

  • Why does Eponine sound like she swallowed a cat....? So disappointing o_O

    Put in Lea Solanga!!!!

  • @jlewgard you are stupid? is beautiful! stupid

  • @jlewgard Swallowed a cat? I think she's trying to sound like Eponine's voice is dicribed in the book

  • @HorseyWitchOfTheEast I've never read the book, but if it describes Eponine as "super inappropriately dressed with a horrible singing voice" then she does a spot on impression.

  • @jlewgard No. The dress, she has no excuse. It just makes her look like a slut. Her voice is meant to be kind of rough because she drinks alot and lives in terrible conditions

  • TEARS. ACTUAL TEARS.

    THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. ;_;

    this is like a high school reunion or something

  • Amazing, And I'm 13.

  • How DARE nick jonas stand next to RAMIN KARIMLOO, COLM WILKINSON AND ALFIE BOE? he doesnt deserve to be next to those geniuses!

  • @mushy58mushy Geniuses? Really? It's hard work and training, nothing to do with IQ. Natural talent is usually is only the tip of the iceberg, just saying from a personal experience. Yes, Nick Jonas played Marius. GET OVER IT. And you know what? He has my respect for doing this, as this is hard word. HARD WORK. So how about you get over that SMALL fact, and focus on a wonder full musical and the joint efforts to make it happen?

  • @AlexFuji1518 Not to mention the fact that he was actually in the show before he was ever a celebrity...

  • This gave me goosebumps all over it's soo good

  • This Song is really Special... I can't tell how proud I'am to tHe people who made this Musical Possible!!!! :D I'm only 14, and i'm sure that teenagers this generation may not have the time to APPRECIATE the MEANING OF IT! bUT i do! and will PASS IT ON to those who believe in it!

  • one person is either deaf or deaf because this is the most amazing thing i might ever hear ramin karimloo michael ball katie hall sam barks colm wilkinson and the whole cast it really cant gett any betteri literally cry everytime

  • that javert has such an epic voice especially when he says ready at 2:24 (he turned the muttonchops of justice to the beard of justice)

  • @DrinkOmally Muttonchops is Philip Quast, but this is Roger Allam. But yeah, I agree. His beard is awesome. I can pm you a clear version of the ACTUAL One Day More, from 1985 if you want it

  • musicgasm XD !!!

  • that one dislike is Javair

  • this has to be one of my favorite broadway songs ever created. And all of the voices were beautiful! bravo!

  • This song always gives me goose bumps I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  • Colm looks like the proud grandfather and all the kids are here at the big family reunion. :) Brilliant song!!!!!

  • @mezzogal with Michael ball being a dad... and the rest being his kids :D

  • where's Lea Salonga ?

  • @antonioaugustogurgel she played Fantine in the 25th anniversary concert. her character doesn't feature in this song...

  • @antonioaugustogurgel Also, this was the original West End cast. She didn't play Eponine in the original cast.

  • I'm glad ramin got to do the Enjoras, I just wish he would've given me chills jumping out of the shadows like before! Who was the original Enjoras?

  • @Mswiee , the original enjoras was late.

  • @Mswiee The original Enjolras was David Burt, but he said in an interview that he can't sing these high notes anymore.

  • @06s091 David Burt, gtk thanks!

  • I feel like it'd be cool if Frances Ruffelle started the solo, then was joined by Lea Salonga, and concluded with Samantha Barks joining in, making it a trio, all singing together. ^_^

  • @populargal124 I admit, Philip Quast is a good Javert. He was my favorite, until I watched this. Now, Roger Allam is my favorite

  • Just... Any Les Mis video has the ability to make me flail and cry.

    And I love the original cast so much <3

  • I cannot hear Nick. At all. Even when I take out Valjean, Epoinine, Cosette, and Ramin. Hes just...Not there

  • @Syrupey I know, right?  But I think Michael Ball has more than enough volume for him. Enough for everyone, actually . . .

  • @Syrupey That's because Michael Ball's voice is in a whole other league than Nicks. You can't hear Gareth Gates or the Marius from the London company either.

  • i think there's a much more original cast because this play was written in france so there's probably a french cast but I like the english version it's funnier than the french(my school is doing the french one and oof kinda hard to understand when they sing fast)

    ps im from montreal(french city)

  • I st got the chills

  • Having been in this production with some of the original cast when I was just 7...wow...this had me crying....Colm looks just the same.

  • SHIT I LOVE RAMIN

  • i dont get why there is even one dislike?

  • that is amazing! great voices. make me shiver. could hear it again and again.
