I liked how Alfie re-imaged Jean Valjean in this musical cast but for me, 24601 is always, and will always be Colm Wilkinson. al., who played the role in the past productions.
Colm Wilkinson, Gary Morris, Michael Burgess, John Owen Jones, Simon Bowman, et. I was expecting to hear a voice as congenial, amicable and heart-warming as Colm Wilkinson, who immortalized the role 25 years ago however, his attack is something very extra-ordinary and uncommon to the ears of Les Miz followers who got used to hearing dramatic tenor voices of the previous actors, i.e. Jean Valjean is played by the English tenor Alfie Boe, whose name I have never heard in the world of theater. A powerful cast indeed seeing four casts singing altogether the signature song of Les Miserables along with a hundreds of back-up vocals and musicians, it is an extra-ordinary, mesmerizing one night worth remembering forever.īelow are the screenshots of the 25th Anniversary Concert cast who appeared in the show. One of the highlights of the show is the encore where four of the best Valjeans, Alfie Boe, Colm Wilkinson, John-Owen Jones of the 25th Anniversary Tour Production and Simon Bowman of 2010 London Cast, sang "Bring Him Home" which I believed to be the most applauded number of the night. A special group of guests also featured the 1985 Original London Cast which includes Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball, Rebecca Caine, Frances Ruffelle, Roger Allam. The concert for this 25th Anniversary was performed in London, England which featured, according to the organizers of the show, the most powerful cast after the 10th Annniversary Dream Cast Concert - Alfie Boe, Norm Lewis, Lea Salonga, Matt Lucas, Jenny Galloway, Samantha Barks, Katie Hall, Nick Jonas, Ramin Karimloo, Robert Madge, Mia Jenkins, Hadley Fraser and Earl Carpenter, among others. The video of the concert is finally here and there should be no thinking twice in getting a copy of the DVD and watch the concert like as if you are part of the crowd in the O2 Arena. It took a month to wait for the DVD version of the concert, though, but it's worth the wait. When I heard about the announcement of 25th anniversary celebration last year, which will be celebrated again with another, bigger, grander concert than the 10th, I made sure that a red mark in the 2010 calendar will be x-ed in the month of October. I waited for this for a very long time after the 10th Annniversary Dream Cast Concert in 1995 was shown at the Royal Albert Hall 15 years ago.
