Les Misérables: The Staged Concert

My favourite version of Les Miz yet - despite it being only semi-staged. Most of the cast are spot on, though a couple of the male bit-parts could do with toning down the melodrama. I think this version is more frenetically paced than usual, giving it a great energy, but there are points where it could afford to breathe more. Boe's "Bring Him Home" is perfect and devastating. Fletcher is stunning. "Turning" is still useless. Women and gays will probably enjoy Enjolras in particular. I'll take the Albert Hall version of Phantom, and this version of Les Miz. If I owned the Hooper/Jackman version or the 25th anniversary version, they'd be straight in the bin. The charity bag. 8/10

I have seen Les Misérables in London on stage 3 times! Every time was better than the previous. I have seen the 10th Anniversary and 25th anniversary DVD's over and over again. I now bought this Staged version from Amazon and watched it. OMG what a disaster it is !!! Alfie Boe of course is excellent the cast in its whole is great ,but for some reason the whole production ,as an ensemble, does not work in harmony.Maybe my ears are too sensitive -(do not think so) ,just very disappointed from this specific production.

Les Miserables has been my favorite musical since I first saw it in LA in the 80s. I've seen all of the Anniversary specials and concerts as well as several love stage performances and this one is by far my favorite! I was overjoyed when I found it on Prime! Alfie Boe and Michael Ball are phenomenal as always, but even the rest of the cast lives up to the hype. Don't get me started on Bradley Jaden...wow! The extra performances at the end of the curtain calls is just the icing on the cake. If you are a Les Miz fan or even if you've never seen it, I think this is a must watch!

Heartfelt, stripped-back, and simply stunning. Much more modern take on the musical. More emphasis on feeling the lyrics rather than belting them out. Perfect casting. A lifelong fan of the musical, I love this production.

What a brilliant performance. Have seen all the different shows, this was as good as it gets
