Found this little ditty on youtube. I was seriously like :jawdrop: . Les Mis is seriously my favorite musical of all time (followed closely by Wicked), so I thought I'd share it with you guys. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1s9ubYbFvc&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Most of the cast is from the original London Cast (including Jean Val Jean). It is AMAZING!
have you seen the 10th anniversary dream cast? I think they did a 25th anniversary preformance too, but i find it strange that they cast Joe Jonas in it.
I was in Les Mis in tenth grade. It was so much fun. Honestly, it's not my absolute favorite musical, but it was the most fun I ever had on stage.
how much difference really is there between the three? [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpoF4Q9bV4I[/YOUTUBE]
There are three professional recordings that I know of. There's the original Broadway cast recording, which contains the highlights and most important music. That's my favorite--these were the people who were used to acting and singing it on a regular basis, so you really get the depth of emotion IMO. The second was the Dream Cast recording they did for the tenth anniversary where they put together a collection of singers to perform all the music, incidentals and all. I don't like the Javert as much there, though my younger brother insists that the Dream Cast is the best. I haven't seen the 25th anniversary one yet, although having a Jonas brother in it kind of makes me go <.<
