"Phantom faces at the window, phantom shadows on the floor." Even though it's nearly been a year since my best friend died, I still have trouble walking around the college campus where we used to hang out. I think of this song each time. Michael Ball, you put words to the feelings we have when we lose somebody close.
This concert was made the year I was born, and I was brought up on it. These are the only people I see in these roles and Michael... I still get chills every single time I listen to this. There is just so much passion in his voice... :D
I remember that I was so moved the first time I heard Michael Ball sing this song that I couldn't do anything except go to bed, despite the fact that it was only 4 p.m.
What I'm saying is he was the best when they chose him for the part in 1985 & when he did the 10 year anniversary in 1995. He's doing Sweeney Todd now because he's still good...
love it ♥♥♥♥

Michael IS the best Marius: you can see and feel his emotions when he sings.

MIchael Ball is Marius to me. Saw Les Miserables in the 80s in London and on Broadway. No-one else Marius
