4.0 out of 5 stars Look Down! Look Down! And find your debit card!, 15 Jan 2007
By J. Rushbrooke (Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you've got to this page, then chances are you've heard of Les Miserables and if you're a wise person indeed then you will have gone to see it in London or on Broadway. This CD is the original cast recording and has excellent vocal work from household names Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball and rather bizarrely Caroline Quentin of Men Behaving Badly fame.

This CD however is no replacement for seeing the musical live - it misses out pieces of linking material. This means that if you are listening to this as a substitute for seeing the musical, you may become confused by the jumpy plot. My recommendation to you is go and see the musical, then buy the CD and sing along all you like. A CD like this one can only give you the audio, and nothing your imagination can conjure up will be as good as visual feast that is the production in the flesh.

In summary - buy this if you've seen the musical. If you haven't - hold out until you have and it will be a much more worthwhile buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Highlights are the Problem!, 22 Dec 2004
By A Customer
I brought this CD about 6 months ago and I expected a whole score recording, except the CD is just a highlights album, and shows no sense of storyline what-so-ever. Any Les Mis fan may agree that the arrangement of this album doesn't do the show any justice.
However the performances given are excellent. Colm Wilkinson is brilliant as Valjean and Michael Ball give the character of Marius a well needed kick. Overall this album is fantastic but then again it's not too bad either, I've given it three stars only because I couldn't give 3 and 1/2. But this album is great for anybody just looking for the main songs of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless classic masterpiece, 26 Sep 2005
By Mrs. Carrie Smith (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was the musical I enjoyed before I knew what musicals even were. I remember hearing "on my own" on TV one day and then waiting on my local library list to borrow the double LP. I listened to it until I knew all the words and it had to go back. Then my mum got the cassette of it and we would both sing it as we drove to work every morning. Now I'm a mum myself, I enjoy playing the CD and singing along with my daughter. The melodies, the lyrics the sad and funny, it's the best musical in the world. I think it is the most played CD album I've ever owned.
