Then again it's more of a concert venue and it focuses more strongly on singing, rather than acting, so set designs and whatnot are minimal.Īnother thing that really sets this concert apart from the previous one is the fact that dialogue and more pieces of the script are included. As such the visuals are stunning and this is quite possible the very best Les Miserables has looked on stage in a while. For one thing The O2 is an amazing venue and it allowed for the producers to do things with lightning and staging that simply weren't possible during the 10th Anniversary Concert's Royal Albert Hall. There are a few things about this 25th Anniversary Concert that stand out from the very start. While this most recent selection of performers doesn't quite live up to the gravitas of the 10th Anniversary Concert, this release is nothing to sneeze at. For the 25th Anniversary Concert the cast was as follows: Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean, Norm Lewis as Javert, Lea Salonga as Fantine, Nick Jonas as Marius, Katie Hall as Cosette, Jenny Galloway as Madame Thénardier, Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras, Samantha Barks as Éponine, and Matt Lucas as Thénardier. It was a spectacle with performers such as Colm Wilkinson, Philip Quast, Ruthie Henshall, Jenny Galloway, Lea Salonga, and Michael Ball. In concert halls around the world different troupes and casts have gathered to perform the musical, and in October 2010 the 25th Anniversary Concert was featured at The O2 Arena in North Greenwich.Ī few years ago I had the opportunity to review the DVD of 10th Anniversary Concert from 1995. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more celebrated show and over the years there have been many special events. Les Miserables stands as one of the most beloved musicals in the world and it's been going strong for over 25 years. "One day more! Another day, another destiny."
