This musical deserves its place in the big book of musical history. It will never die.

Everyone else overlooks this but I am still upset that they didn't separate the parts for the movie.
They had 500 people you couldn't find 4 people to sing those parts in "Look Down"
So thank you for doing that.

This prologue is so powerfull and amazing that I cannot describe how I feel watching it.

[JaneDoe-imfe]

I saw this live. The first time Michael Ball started singing I kinda had a fan girl moment. I had wanted to hear him sing live since I was a little kid and it was a dream come true. I got goosebumps when Michael and Alfie sang.

[Thomas_H._Smith]

Earl Carpenter's buttery smooth voice as the Bishop of Digne is the most underrated part of this whole production.

[wrestlingexcellence]

ALFIE BOE is one of the greatest Jean Valjeans out there; if not the greatest. Not taking away anything from the original JV, Colm Wilkonson, of course but the timbre of Alfie’s voice really suits this character so eloquently. BRAVO, sir! No wonder they brought you back as JV after the 25th Anniversary celebration. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Michael Ball but he will forever be the great “Marius” in my book, of course!

[NMPHBA]

After seeing les mis live in the west end I immediately found and listened to the soundtrack over and over and, not even knowing this show was the one i've listen to since then, found this video. I was genuinely so happy when I realised it was the cast I knew from the soundtrack.

Nice to see the full prologue from Les Misérables The Staged Concert

[RFazor]

The greatest musical prologue of all time from the greatest musical of all time!

[Ceej_MM]

Jesus Christ, the tempo is insanely fast here. Were they renting the theatre by the minute? What was the hurry?

[tigerzclaw]
