*That's her, the living legend, Lea Salonga! She is magnificent!*
Nevermind Alfie Bo huh?
I love Lea but I must say that she is not the only living legend present in this show.
alexia gabriel *That shouldn't be a problem, ma'am. The more, the merrier! You too are allowed to mention other living legends in the show. 😊*
I was lucky enough to see on Miss Saigon tour
She is the living legend in our country.. ❤️
Why is no one talking about Lea Salonga and Samantha Barks are both here? I'm very happy rn😭💓
Lea and Sam singing toegther is the very pinnacle of musical theatre history!
Also Ruthie and Lea she’s sang both parts of the harmony now
Eponine from the 10th anniversary and Eponine of the 25th anniversary singing together ❤
Aside from Jonas, this was one of the best casts of Les Mis, full of legends, all stars, and up and comers
What was wrong with Nick Jonas? I thought he did pretty great.
Why do y'all hate on Nick so much, he wasn't bad.
I think Jonas did a pretty good job keeping up with everyone considering it’s not the kind of music he is used to singing .
@@johnsantspree1120 It’s not that Nick Jonas was bad, there were just much better casting choices. He’s a good singer, but in this instance, he was severely outclassed.
@@christopherauguste2258 Yup, felt bad for him during the love trio, the ladies were out of his league
A day may come where I don’t get goosebumps and tear up as soon as I hear them start singing “Do You Hear the People Sing?” BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!!
YESSS
OMG!!!! Mella! Anytime I need a good cry, bam! I pop in either the 10th or 25th anniversary DVD's... And I do have an answer for you Mella about the day coming for the both of us, that being the day we stop crying and getting goosebumps the moment the show starts, and that day will be the day we pass from this Earth... Until then, let's just love the crying this fantastic play brings! We feel the same exact thing when it comes to Les Misérables...
God forbid that day Mella, cause feeling this is the most human thing. I join you in those goosebumps.
Don’t think they’ll ever be one, for me it’s One Day More, the epilogue going straight into the finale
I am sure that will never happen to me... goosebumps like ant hills here as I'm typing...
How cool of them to bring out the ORIGINAL cast at the very end. So, so cool. What a powerful finale.
One of the greatest musicals ever written, Les Miserables.
One of!? Think again... You tell me what one even comes close... NONE EVER WILL!!!
To me THE greatest ever....
By far, the best musical ever written and performed... Legendary...
I don't understand how people feel so strongly against this musical. Many modern musicals don't reach any of the emotional depth that Les Mis does, and therefore fails to have that connection with me. I appreciate the literal translation to "The Glums" puts people off - as may the storyline where it's known as the musical where just about everybody dies. Schonburg & Boublil captured a great balance with the Thenardiers during Master of the House, and I also find "One Day More" incredibly powerful and uplifting.
@@sarahwoolley79 I don't get it either..... I keep listening to it and keep finding it phenomenal, the music score as well as the performances. My biggest regret will always be not having seen it live... the original performance that is... it's got everything a musical should be... love, drama despair and hope... like you feel part of it on the barricades... funny how it can be set in todays America fighting for our country against a government out to oppress and exploit its people...
Alfie has such angelic voice.
I love Samantha and Lea's duet, its so angelic.
It really pissed me off when they changed it in the movie to have the Priest sing it with Fantine instead of Eponine. I was at least looking forward to seeing them singing that song together since the movie was already horrible with the bad singing and bad acting(except for Barks) and since I've seen this version(plus have this 25th anniversary on DVD). But no, change it and have a totally different character sing it instead. Dammit. They need to redo the movie and get THIS cast to be in it(except for Nick Jonas) and do it just like this anniversary. Not cut out songs or anything too. This was the best version of Les Misérables. Even better than the 10th anniversary.
@@sarahprince2412 I think they were trying to go by the books at that part.
@@sarahprince2412 Having Eponine there never made any sense to me, since she never had any interaction with Valjean. The bishop made more sense.
@darkiee69 I've seen a few explanations for this. The most logical to me was:
Valjean saved the life of Fantine's daughter, Cosette, allowing her to live on with her beloved Marius (who was saved by Valjean in the sewers). Eponine then sacrificed her own life, despite her own feelings for Marius, which allowed Cosette and Marius to marry. Through this sequence of events, Valjean was able to witness Cosette find love and happiness before he died.
*However, we wonder if any of this would have happened, had the Bishop not allowed Valjean to begin a new life!
Alfie Boe should had the film role. His voice is magnificent, especially here and in The Prayer.
Lea Salonga and the girl who played Cosette should’ve been in the film as well but I liked that they had Samantha Barks and Hadley Fraser in the film as Eponine and the French Soldier
Makes me cry with happiness.
Just like Lea Salonga said in an interview about Les Mis movie. "Sometimes the big belty version is just too much for a film"
@@ManongChito Yes, but other actors can sing with a bit softer voice.
I agree that Alfie is a bit too much for the movie, but still.
They couldn't afford him
You are THE Lea Salonga fan!And rightfully so, she is absolutely phenomenal, so clear, so powerful but yet so moving. Class act.
Lea is legend period
Alfie Boe -- wow!
The ending of Les Mis and of Phantom have to be the best broadway musical endings in history 😭 they’re both so beautiful ❤️
Wow my singing teacher was understudying Alfie Boe in this performance im pretty sure. I feel so blessed to be taught by him, hopefully going to make this a career! That aside, Alfies voice is truly stunning here. Just so full of passion.
I love that in this version Javert is included here. Javert isn’t really the antagonist, he’s just stuck on believing what he thinks is right
Fantine and Eponine singing together that angelic harmony was one of my favorite parts in the 10th anniv. Samantha's voice was a bit quiet :c
Samantha was perfect. This quality isn't as great versus the dvd version. I'd recommend seeing the actual dvd. She is much louder there versus this version taken from an audience member. I just wish they didn't change it for the movie. I love their harmony bit and it really pissed me off when they didn't have Eponine sing with Fantine for the epilogue in the movie. I also wish the cd that came out for the 25th anniversary had THIS cast. They made it seem like it was this cast on the soundtrack. So disappointing hearing those songs and not having these great singers on the cd.
There was a really good quality video of it on CZcams back in 2012. I played that song for my aunt on her deathbed as our family was gathered around her.
Lea's voice is amazing :D
All hail to the legendary Theater Actress of all time!! LEA SALONGA lang malakas
Of all the versions of Les Miserables, I've seen quite a few, this is my favorite. But the rest, magnificent. I love Alfie Boe, Leah Solonga, Matt Lucas, the orchestra and choir, everything. The different staging is awesome. I have the DVD.
He sounds like a boy maybe in a couple more years his voice will fit the part. I don’t understand why they hired actors and not more Broadway singers for the movie
Gotta give Nick credit though. Marius is a powerful part and he pulled it off the best he could
@@sallysue8176 it all goes down with vocal technique. Gateth Gates who also played Marius also sounded like a young man but it sounds theatrical. Not Ball material but good enough to be considered. I also don't know why Nick got the job.
I thought nick sang really well ,,,he’s young,,,, and his voice suited the part that’s my opinion ,,,,👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing performance! Love you Ms. Lea. 🙌🏼🤍
8:06 Stellar stage direction. What a vision. It touches me all the more so as I'm French. :D
I like the voice of cosette and samantha barks is just so cute. Well ofc Lea is spectacular 💗
Who's idea was it to have Nick Jonas play Marius in such a big production.
it's called stunt casting. They needed to attract more young audience to optimize return on investment, and Nick is a hot and experienced pop singer
@@phamapollo3175 I understand what you're saying, however I think theres better choices out there. It seemed like Nick was drowned out by the rest of the ensemble in numbers like "One day more". I think if they got someone like Brendan Urie to play Marius, they would have had an amazing cast.
@@lorikodama8212 I'd go for Nick Adams. Not much for his voice, but rather to make a hot Marius. Plus he has a big fan base, straight and gay alike
@@phamapollo3175 I agree that Nick Adams is hot, however so is Brendan. I think one of the main differences between them is that Nick's (Adams) entire "shtick" is his sex appeal, vocals second. Whereas Brendan is more about the vocals, with his sex appeal being presented in a more understated manner (usually shirtless and sweaty😝). I'm not so sure that the theater crowd is ready for Nick Adams yet lol
Id go for Jeremy Jordan 👍
I have no clue why my stomach got itchy when Nick Jonas started to sing, he's a phenomenal singer, I guess Im not used to him singing ballad musical songs like this
Omg ... misss leahhh still crystal clear ... precious jasmine still
The most magnificent singing ever. Love,love, love every minute of it.
this song makes me so emotional and this cast is so incredible
People seem to forget that Nick Jonas started on Broadway before he was in the Jonas brothers. He did great in this performance. This is not an easy show.
Can't stop listening. Beautiful!!!!!
Haven't heard it in years, one would think time makes the feeling goes away...well it doesn't, I'm still crying
6:19 yep here come the tears. Such a triumphant story!
Don't forget Ramin Karimloo's performance of Enjolras
Ramin could be a better marius
@@robinnugraha2869 Not Marius - better Valjean!
I'm 😥 Sad when he's dying for his life and for his daughter Cosset
ukochany song przy ktorym ja wiecznie placze oczy mam mokre od lez takie wruszenie bede nicuic wiezcnie
French Version:
Valjean: I wait for the shadows to cover me,
I count the hours before I sleep,
I dreamed Cosette stood by my side,
She cried to know that I die.
Alone in this cold room today
Upon this night I pray,
Take these children, my Lord, into thy embrace,
And protect them with thy strength
God on High, our father,
I implore and I await you,
It is time, take me now,
I have sinned, I repent,
Let me die, as a man.
As a man.
As a man.
Fantine: Monsieur, I bless your name.
Valjean: I am ready, Fantine.
Fantine: Let me guide you out of the darkness.
Valjean: At the end of my days.
Fantine: You raised my child with love and care.
Valjean: Cosette blessed my life.
Fantine: And now be delivered from your labor.
Valjean: Take me to the Light.
Cosette: Papa! Papa! I do not understand!
Are you unwell?
Tell me, what is happening to you?
Valjean: Cosette, you are here!
And so is your husband, thank God!
I hope you may forgive me now.
Monsieur, love her... Cosette, love him,.
Marius: You are the one who must forgive me now, Monsieur
I have been thankless like a fool.
They told me you were a murderer and a thief,
And I lay down my life at your feet.
Yes it is true. Your father is a saint, Cosette
He was the one who saved my life,
He took me from the barricade,
And brought me back to you.
Valjean: I no longer depart alone.
I am happy.
I have seen your smile again,
Now I may finally die.
Cosette: You will live.
Papa, you're going to live!
I want you to live,
Listen to me!
Valjean: Yes, Cosette,
You forbid me to die.
I will try to obey.
On this page, I write my soul's confession
And the secrets that you would want to know.
It's the story, of one who loved you so,
And who confided you in me
Before she disappeared.
Fantine: Come with me,
Where chains will never bind you.
Let me guide you
Towards supreme happiness.
Lord in heaven, look down on him in mercy.
Valjean: Forgive me all my treaspasses
And take me to thy kingdom.
Fantine & Eponine: Take my hand,
And come into His light.
Take the love,
Which shines when life is fading.
Valjean, Fantine, & Eponine: And remember,
The truths within your prayer:
"Who loves another person
Is most near to God on Earth!"
Full cast: For the will of the people,
None can extinguish our voice,
And so the song will ring out forever
As it had so long before,
We wish that our light,
Penetrates the mask of night,
To illuminate our land
And to change our lives.
The glorious day will come,
When on its march towards the ideal,
Mankind will progress from evil to good,
And from falsehoods to truth,
A dream may yet die,
But hope lives on forever!
Will you join in our crusade,
Of those with hopes for humanity?
For every fallen barricade,
One hundred more will rise again!
For the will of the people,
We hear the sound of distant drums,
Announcing the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade,
Of those with hopes for humanity?
For every fallen barricade,
One hundred more will rise again!

Ah! Tomorrow comes!
EXCELLENT!
Imo, This cast was great, but the 10th anniversary is unmatched.
What an AWESOME performance! Thanks for sharing!
Wow Lea great job as Fantine. Again perfect, perfect, and perfect.
Lea Salonga and Alfie Boe. This must be what singing in Heaven sounds like.
Although I love Lea Salonga’s Eponine, I have to admit that my favorite one is Samantha Barks’ one. Together they sound magnificent
Alfie has the most powerful voice, but watching this recording vs the same one that Colm did in the anniversary concert….I have to say that the Original Jean Valjean cannot be surpassed.
This is like how the Muppets always had one real person in their sketches. Only it's the reverse, a real Les Miz cast with a Jonas brother. (I actually like Nick as a pop star, but this is not his forte). More seriously, I wasn't as familiar with Alfie Boe as Valjean and he's incredible.
I thought he was pretty good in How to Succeed.
Alfie BOE, perfect Val Jean
Stupenda Interpretazione, grazie!
Lea’s voice is amazing and classy
Michel Ball would be turning in his grave if he were not still alive. The Marius that inspired me to sing.
You would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by this.
Beautiful! ☺️💕.
Thank you for uploading this!!! ☺️
Wonderful!!!!!!!!
Bellisimo❤Los Amo. Talentoso.s Una Obra de Arte de Principio a Fin❤
Fantastic
The best and I like wow wow and I like this song make cry my name is craig king from south west wales 🏴 Pembrokeshire
bravo
Oh lea salonga 🥰
I love Nick Jonas, but I dont think he is fit for the role of Marius, He has a very soft voice and it gets drowned by the music.
awww thank you for uploading! ang both lea and simon are here nga pala.
::::sigh::::: Alfie Alfie Alfie
ALFIE BOE 😭😭😭😭🫢 AMAZING VALJEAN
Thank you so much for this, Tim.
My pleasure!
Alfie i Samantha ....the best
💕💕💕💕 Lea Salonga 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The two theater companies joined the 1985 cast in the finale.
Leaaaaaaa
🤩🤩🤩
For those who don’t know but Nick Jonas started out on Broadway. Jonas was one of the last Gavroches on Broadway before it closed. There are clips of him as Gavroche. But as years passed, his voice changed due to him becoming a pop singer. He has a Broadway background but it’s been a years since he’s been on a theatre stage.
Nick looks like he got lost, should've been on his way to Camp Rock 😂
... too soft to be with these incredible voices
For the role. Having a soft voice was perfect
Nick Jonas (facepalm)......esp when you’re used to hearing Michael Ball’s rendition.
Or Gareth gates
Facepalm because he was the best?
@@evann5451 Is that the general definition of facepalm?
Is it just me or does the pacing kinda feel off? The 10th edition had a much more slow and contemplative melody to it- there aren't enough pauses here.
Nick's voice sounds so pale compared to the rest of the cast.
He was the weak link felt bad for Katie and Sam in the trio in Act 1
He sounded great
Looks like whomever filmed this has an obsession with Lea Salonga.
Who DOESN'T have an obsession with Lea Salonga :)
I didn't understand any word from Nick Jonas
You must be deaf ,,,,,,,
If I am then let it be
5:28 Let these be my final words on Earth too.
.....Is that a younger jamie moscato I spot? ....it is! Cool.
1:45 that's my fave
LS as in Lupet mag Sing char HAHHAHAHAHHA
Idk I read the comments before hearing nick so was expecting the worse but it wasn’t bad?? He sounded good? Young, not as powerful as the crazy vocals of the ogs, but like? It really wasn’t as jarring as I thought it’d be based on the comments
Alfie is great.....I kept seeking Michael Ball!!!!!????.....I see Michael near the very end!!!
The disappointment on his face @3:16
Nick Jonas is the one weak link in the cast. I also think whoever filmed this had a bit of a crush on Lea :)
Nick Jonas ruined the 25th anniv. 😭
I got my sister play the part as epoinne
I know Nick Jonas’s voice isn’t as powerful as the others but honestly I think he was good in his role as Marius just needed more power
That's the point. He is good but not in this. This is not his thing. 😂😂
Is Nick Jonas allergic to looking at the person he's talking to? I get cheating out, but you still gotta look like you're talking to someone
Nick Jonas....one of these singers is not like the other...
Who is nice enough to list down the major actors who.played here and their roles 👍

@@TimChen0913 Thank you ! 💕
You’ve casually got powerhouses like Jamie muscato and Jon robyns as background characters here. This is why nick Jonas doesn’t fit in despite putting in a decent performance. He’s just severely outclassed
It's a sad scene that he's dying and from Cosset and her husband Marius
who is the guy in the blue jacket pink ascot to the left of Lea?
I don’t know the actor but I believe he’s Bamatbois, the man who tries to get fantine to sleep with him and reports her to Javert
This was the evening performance on Sunday 3rd October 2010 with the Live Cinema broadcast from Universal Pictures
I was there and took this video😊
@@TimChen0913 I can see that
What cam specs you are using? Zoom 👏👏👏
Sony DV
@@TimChen0913 specs? zoom lens?
I only remeber it's Sony digital handycam, but I forget the model and specs, sorry~~
8:49 why did that dude get a bow. He was in the show for like 45 seconds
I have no idea😅
Introducing the casts?
I wish it was Simon Bowman
Jonas was only picked because of his 2m twitter followers. If only 1‰ of them bought the cd/dvd it's.big bucks for Mackintosh!
Wow
You barely showed Samantha Barks before their part was over 😒
ho did i not know nick jonas was in this
