Product Description

From Amazon.com
This recording captures the 1985 London cast that transformed an obscure French musical based on Victor Hugo's gargantuan novel of pre-Revolutionary France into a worldwide phenomenon throughout the late-1980s and '90s and became one of the best examples of the era's trend of blockbuster musical spectacles. Yes, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schoenberg's score tends to recycle its themes, but its beautiful melodies and stirring anthems rarely fail to captivate and touch its audience. Colm Wilkinson is the heroic Valjean, Patti LuPone is the tragic Fantine, Michael Ball is the love-struck Marius, and Frances Ruffelle is the despondent Eponine, with Roger Allam (Javert), Alun Armstrong and Sue Jane Tanner (the Thénardiers), Rebecca Caine (older Cosette), and David Burt (Enjolras) filling out the excellent cast. Fans will want to take note that this recording includes some material that was revised when the show crossed the pond to Broadway--"Little People" was lost altogether, while the "Love Montage" was significantly rewritten. Les Misérables sounds especially vivid in its 1998 remastering, and a synopsis and full lyrics are included. --David Horiuchi

I didn't expect to enjoy Michael Ball's performance quite so much. The whole production is absolutely brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the show, 9 Mar 2009
By Mr. P. L. Hayhurst "Peter Hayhurst" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Briliant recording brings back all the power and emotion of the show. Don't bother with the 'video' content on CD2 though, its a poor quality gimick. If you want decent video get the DVD.
