9/10 Matt Lucas plays Thenardier and he enjoys his role very much. Her low harmonics makes her voice quite unique, and that's something I really like. Her "I Dreamed a Dream" earns her a big applause and some standing ovation as well. 8,5/10 Lea Salonga is Fantine, and 15 years after she played Eponine during the 10th anniversary show, she delivers this role incredibly well.
I think that the role of Cosette has few moments to shine or to stand out, but Katie gives a fine performance, so no worries here. 10/10 Katie Hall plays Cosette and she's excellent as well.
His baritone is a joy to listen to and they have a unique chemistry with Ramin. 10/10 Hadley Fraser plays Grantaire and he makes the new standard for the role with his performance. He's really gentle but powerful at the same time. Earl Carpenter plays the bishop, and he delivers a fine performance, worthy of his reputation. I give a solid 10 for the supporting section of the cast. The backing vocalist are also great (in numbers as well), everyone in minor roles (prostitutes, workers, the students) are great, this cast was chosen really carefully, that's for sure. There's a really large choir behind the orchestra, and they really make a punch when it is time for extra amount of epicness (like One Day More). The cast is a brilliant one - well you could guess that something big is happening when musical giants like Earl Carpenter, or Hadley Fraser only get minor roles. The show has been conducted by the same conductor, who did the 10th anniversary concert back in 1995 (David Charles Abell), and he did one hell of a job, not a single flaw in the play of the orchestra. The setting is great, the lights and all technical stuff are excellent, the show sounds great, the mixing is very well made. The show took place at the O2 arena with hundreds of people participating. Secondly, this is my first ever review on IMDb so hurray! :) What we've got here is a monumental show of pure talent and epicness, which is a must for all 'Les Mis' fans and for everyone who likes to listen to a musical masterpiece, and likes to get goosebumps all the time. First of all I have to say that I have seen the movie before I dig into Les Mis on the internet, so somehow the movie could catch my attention back then, and I am so grateful for it that I won't compare it with this masterpiece.
