Les Misérables: The Staged Concert

Absolutely love any version of Les Mis, this one was by far the best thou. The ending broke me emotionally, cried like a baby. Would recommend this to any Les Mis fan, Alfie Boe and Michael Ball were AMAZING and was so nice to see them play there parts.

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.

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.

I'll start by saying the 25th Anniversary performance was terrific, and still one of my favorite shows to enjoy from time to time. With that said it wasn't without it's flaws (mainly but-not-limited-to Nick Jonas' spirited yet underwhelming performance). These were especially apparent when viewing this next to the phenomenal 25th Anniversary performance blu ray of Phantom of the Opera which was nearly flawless.

I'm delighted to say I just received the Japanese import blu ray of this performance (which plays perfectly on a US blu ray player) and it redeems Les Miz at a level I wasn't prepared to hope for. I would consider this new blu ray of the West End staged performance on-par with the Phantom 25th anniversary, and the picture quality is incredible.

If you love Les Miz do yourself a huge favor and invest in this performance!!!

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