Rating  - A Five Star Must
I remember seeing this as a PBS special a few years ago, and I really enjoyed it. Recently I saw some snippets of it on You Tube, and decided to buy a copy. It was money well spent. The music is fantastic, the voices send a chill through the body. I could watch and listen to this over and over, and never tire of it. I really enjoyed the novel that it was based on. Pure entertainment!
Rating - Extremely satisfying
I've always loved this score, and have not been a fan of the Trevor Nunn staging, so this is the perfect performance type for me. The best of the best. Can't wait for the Royal Albert Hall staged concert of CHESS coming next year for the same reasons...
Rating - Unique & Superb
Cast members from the World join on stage and remain throughout this unique performance. Such does not detract; rather the performance is enhanced by the witnesses, who are our surrogates, to their own stunning performance. We all see and hear Victor Hugo's message transmitted with clarity of life's revolution taking place within and around each one of us. The ending will send chills down the back of the most cynical critic of the theater.
Rating - Great Music, Fantastic Cast
This performance does indeed have the dream cast. The roles are played to perfection. The bonus information is most interesting. To think that the critics panned the original stage performance, although the public loved it. Les Mis is truely one of the greatest musicals ever composed. There is one disappointment, however. The Tenth Anniversary Concert, as seen on PBS, included a special encore presenting actors who played Jean Valjean in productions from 17 different countries, each stepping up to sing a line, or two, of "Do You Here the People Sing" in his own language. This encore was omitted from the DVD, although it was included on the CD of this concert. I can see this encore only on my own VCR of the concert. Too bad.
Rating  - Little People Skip
I love Les Mis and I love this concert but I am extremely disappointed with this DVD. They cut out a verse from Little People that was in the original concert!
Instead of
Liar!
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear.
I know this man, my friends
His name is Inspector Javert
So don't believe a word he says
'Cause none of it's true
we get
Liar!
So don't believe a word he says
'Cause none of it's true
Which makes no sense. And makes me very sad. I waited so long to get this on DVD and Gavroche is one of my favorite characters so to have some of his part cut really sucks. :< I don't know if this was intentional or not but GRRRRR.
