Now i love the movie, i love he 25th and 10th anniversary DVDs, i am a fan of many person who has appeared in the production, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Ramin Karimloo etc.
And i like everyone i am sure no the songs.
i knew it was going to be good, i was so excited to see it and in such anticipation. But i didn't expect it to be as good as it truly was!
Cast- all amazing i won't name them all but we had an understudy for Jean Val jean (Zac Hamilton) my god that guy gave me goosebumps he was just as good in that role as some of the big names so never complain you have an understudy they are honestly just as good if not better! Katie Bell (Fantine) amazing performance going from Cosette to that just seemed such natural transgression and did it so well!
Nic Greenshields (Javert) scary, mysterious great vocals and great stage presence for such a iconic villain. Martin Ball and Sophie-Louise Dann (Thénardiers) hillarious added there own and yet familiar spin on 2 iconic characters.
Will Richardson (Enjolras) my fave character the chivalry and pride and leadership that just makes you love him and his cause, the vocals were epic and delivered with such passion for the cause.
Marius and Cosette (Harry Apps and Bronwen Hanson) young love sang so well and Harry singing empty chairs and empty tables broke my heart i cannot believe this was his theatre debut!
And whoever played our Gavroche! I'm not 100% but i just love that character anyway and the lad who played his did it so well!
All cast were truly amazing and great in there roles these are just ones that stood out most to me in my experience.
It is such a dark and oppressive musical, and it is a long musical this production is 2hours 55mins and is the new version from the Broadway staging that will not inhabit London from not on, no no evolve. i have no comparison but i saw nothing lacking or missing from there not being a revolve. The effects the use for the battle and the deaths were beautiful with the lighting and sound really being used well. The use of candles as representing the fallen during empty Charis/ Turning really made the scene in the darkness of the theatre and the affects used during Javerts death on the screen and how they made him 'fall' were so well executed and nothing like i had scene in theatre before.
it is so much more than a musical it is a story and based on a story and done so well! you feel your there you feel how they feel, every tear you weep is for those characters and that story. and having now seen it I now understand why it has stood the test of time and why it will continue!
