Colm was the inspiration for Ramin to start singing. It must've been an unforgettable experience for him to sing side by side with him and at the 25th anniversary too!
I’m sure during both the 25th anniversary of Les Mis and of Phantom of the Opera, Ramin must have been absolutely ecstatic to be getting to sing alongside his idol(and even opposite him in a charity production of Les Mis that Sir Cameron did where Ramin was cast as Valjean and Colm was the Bishop).
The fact Ramin sings with them is just amazing, it is because the original actor who played Enjolras didn't attended and didn't feel vocally up to the part any more so Ramin stepped in, natually
@@tijay8507, what a lucky little girl. An extraordinary opportunity for someone who is so young. I would've loved that sort of chance as a child. Her parents must be very supportive of her, & proud of such an achievement. I hope she stays 'on course' through the years & doesn't do as so many youngsters do when growing up & let go of their childhood interests & hobbies for the teenage lures... as I did, (as did my sister too & many of the other people that I danced with). My own goddaughter was naturally very talented in all athletics but at a young age she started waning in her interest when she saw what her peers were doing whilst she was training. She's now coming up 15 in a matter of days & the only sport she does now is at school. It saddens me greatly to see her waste her talent & the fact that she lost her dreams at such a young age breaks my heart. It's such a waste but unlike your goddaughter mine did not have the unrelenting support of her parents, & their never ending complaints of driving her around to training, games & competitions added to the demise of her love of sports & continuing in this field. Obviously I tried telling her my own story & how I regretted the choice I made but of course when young you never listen to the advice of those who are older than you & that have gone before you & made these mistakes first & learned to live with their regrets! Kids are prone to making bad life choices, not their fault, they have no life experience, which is why the support of the parents & adults around them is so important. Keep encouraging & applauding your goddaughter & be unrelenting when the teenage years come! Remind her that they are only 7yrs long but adulthood is long reaching & the regrets follow throughout them! If she wants a career 'treading the boards' then she'll need to use those 7yrs of teens to her advantage, work hard & learn to look to the future, keep her eye on the prize & not bemoan the missed parties etc. I wish her all the best, & hope she achieves the dreams the rest of us all had to hide away in our hearts. (Message for @Ti Jays goddaughter; Follow your hearts desires young lady, & as the years pass don't let others dissuade you from following your dreams. Because in the end, when it gets hard, & if sadly you do have periods of 'failure' & the jobs aren't easily forthcoming, at least you'll know that you tried your hardest, (& that's where your education will come in to support you!). Work hard but don't forget your schooling either, because one day you may need to rely on it. I hope one day, when the pandemic is over & the theatres are open again to be able to see you on the stage.... 'Les Mis' is my all time favourite show & I've been to see it many times 🤩😍.... Keep your eyes on the stars kiddo 🎤🎶📽️... It is do-able!!! 🤞🏻You've already got your feet firmly on this career path. Young Cosette on stage!! It's a huge achievement that you've already bagged.

It's just the video of someone in the audience. Lea wasn't playing Eponine in the 25th, she was playing Fantine, and seriously, in my strongest of opinions, no Eponine will ever come close to level or sensitivity, torture or vulnerability that Francess Ruffelle brought to the role. It is, of course, all a matter of opinion and taste.
@@zaniq23 Lea Salonga and Jonathan Price were the stars of the original West End Production of Miss Saigon as well as the Original Broadway production (which I was fortunate to have seen). Frances Ruffelle originated the role of Eponine on both the West End and Broadway. I am happy to say that I got to see both performer plays Eponine. I prefer Frances's take on Eponine for similar reasons to Wallsy2010.
@@dadhusfam - Yes, I remember when they were in the process of bringing over the production from the West End that they Asian acting community was not happy with Price in the role.
Why am I bawling??? I don't know most of these fabulous actors, but the reception each singer gets from the audience is absolutely emotional and must make them feel so amazing and appreciated.
To shed some light on just a few of these actors, at least the ones I'm familiar with outside of Les Mis: -Alun Armstrong (Monsieur Thenardier), besides being my favorite Thenardier, has also had minor roles in a few lesser-known fantasy movies (the Cardinal in Van Helsing, Uncle Garrow in Eragon) -Susan Jane Tanner (Madame Thenardier) is, I believe, best known for originating the role of Jellylorum in the Original London Cast of CATS, and reprised that role in the 1998 film -Colm Wilkinson (Jean Valjean) has played the title characters in both The Phantom of the Opera and Jekyll & Hyde, and had a cameo in the 2012 Les Miserables movie as the Bishop -Rebecca Caine (Cosette) was, I believe, one of the first Christines in POTO--I /think/ she was Sarah Brightman's successor, but I could be wrong.
@@macavitythenardier Thank you! This certainly helps. I've been doing some research on the original cast. Just looking at Rebecca Caine's face when the music starts says so much to me. It's such a special experience to be part of for these actors and they must share such an incredible bond after so many years.
I've watched this many times on video and still I cry too, nastalgic, beauty, love and so many other reasons. Our first time seeing the actual live stage production I cried hearing I DREAMED A DREAM and never stopped,cried throughout the show. I remember thinking it had every human emotion posable .
"My place is here. I fight with you!" ~ Michael Ball (2:41) Be still, my heart!! Michael as Marius was one of my first childhood crushes. I lived and breathed the 10th Anniversary Cast Performance!
I watched the 10th with my late husband and recorded it on the old VHS recorder. He died many years ago now. But myself and my daughter have seen the live performances in Manchester and London. she is 39 now so wasnt born when it was launched. I might get our recording onto disc or get her a new DVD for her 40th.
Lea seems to be the most beautiful person! shes just smiling so warmly all the way through....Ramin though, The guy has probably never failed to steal the show ever in his life.
It's absolutely criminal that there's not a full version with Roger Allam singing as Javert. His vocal range and depth to the character is second to none. For me he IS Javert
Here's a bootleg of one of the previews of the original London cast, including Roger Allam. It's audio-only and not in great quality, but it covers the full show: ruclips.net/video/OLNvEGQGCuM/видео.html. It's strange hearing the show before the revisions and cuts over the years
I still get chills when I hear the original cast do this song. It is truly amazing, and the only headscratcher is why a release of the complete original London cast was never done. I'm not talking about the partial recording but the entire show of that cast. I'd pay a lot of money for it.
@@ClaireMasterbard he’s been in TONS of stuff. He’s incredible as Falstaff in Henry IV (Shakespeare), and he’s also one of my favourite characters in The Thick Of It. Fantastic actor with great range
Nick did okay in comparison to people who can't sing and would never be performing on stage, in comparison to people who can sing and who do it for living he did meh
The chills I get through my headphones are no match for what it would have been like to be there. Incredibly jealous of that audience and what they got to experience. A once in a lifetime experience!
Look, Nothing against Nick But this show is for people who are able to sing in Classical voice style or at least Broadway skill mode I know I can't sing at that Level He should too
This actually almost made me cry. All I could think about was listening to this as a kid, when I was happy and hopeful about the world, before I learned of all its ugliness and the disgusting, destructive nature of humanity.
Ramin fits in beautifully. The original cast could walk right back on the stage, they all sounded wonderful. Did anyone get a slight giggle that Nick Jonas, talented as he is was utterly out matched with all those men and women. He looked a good bit overwhelmed at the end with the Ramin and the 2 others, as if he had no idea what note to sing, poor guy.
I keep going back to listening to this replay and thankful, so very thankful, that we were able to enjoy this on our trip to Europe pre-Covid! It was amazing! Waiting backstage and meeting Michael was a lifetime highlight and he is truly very genuinely kind and generous, spending time with his waiting fans!
@@Rjbaker83 they were probably trying to attract a younger audience. Awful casting though! (Especially alongside Ball/Karimloo/Wilkinson & co). Even Katie had to reign in her voice not to overpower him.
My wife and I have been blessed to have seen the original cast several times in Boston during the 1980's. Then came the thrill of performing in a concert version of Les Miserables as The Innkeeper and his wife. I never cease to get chills watching this magnificent musical or performing excerpts from it over the years.
This amazing performance of my favourite musical could not have ended in a more spectacular way with this cast of alumni. Truly heaven for this musical theatre geek from down under.
Probably the greatest musical ever written...and its become an anthem for all downtrodden oppressed people in the world They sang this song when Communist China invaded Hong Kong. They sang this in Europe opposing the tyranny in Brussels.
I NEED any music director tackling this song to make sure the Thenardiers sing out that “MUCH” long & loud the way they did here and in the 10th anniversary concert, that particular note on that particular chord just as the big choir starts singing is so powerful.
The 40th anniversary is coming up in 2025. It would be awesome if Cameron Mackintosh would get the original 1985 London cast back together to sing the entire show in concert form. That cast still kicks everyone’s ass in singing this score!
@@annaveenstra4557.... That will be the sad part when they start to pass away. The crowd always goes nuts when they come out at the end of the anniversary productions. If would be a fitting finale for the original cast that introduced the world to the Les Miserables musical to come together and sing the entire score that we got denied hearing on the cd.
Not only am I blessed to hear this beautiful company sing again but I also had the extreme pleasure of performing in Les Mis some years ago and breathtaking was not even the word to describe what I experienced onstage....a moment that will be with me for a lifetime♥️
@@m2cscream I agree that Colm may be -- outwardly -- to old for young Valjean. But that man's voice is timeless! He can run circles around anyone who's taken on the role since he created it.
@@rickydenotredame agreed. NO ONE can do "Bring Him Home" to his level. Although... I AMAZINGLY did hear an off-Broadway performer that played him and I was 10000% shocked that I put him as Colm's true successor. I literally got goosebumps during Bring Him Home - I have NEVER heard anyone come close to Colm. If only they had put him in the movie 😭😭😭😭
Alfie Bow's face lit up with a huge smile when Colm Wilkinson started singing, that shows that he is a fan as well as a singer, and the fact that he pulled back so he wouldn't drown out Colm shows his respect to him
Not for me .. Dean Chisnall is the best all rounder ... Alfie and Colm are fantastic singers but Dean's acting in combination with his singing is just incredible
I wonder what Nick Jonas was feeling singing with people who can actually sing. I mean Nick Jonas is a singer alright but definitely not cut out for this genre.
The Eurovision fan in me is kind of giddy: THREE contest alums! Colm represented his native Ireland in 1978, while Michael Ball and Frances Ruffelle represented the United Kingdom in 1992 and 1994 respectively
Sensational this Song appeals to All Generations a late friend a trained pianist played it in a pub every one joined in including the pool players 👏👏👏❤️
I wish there was a big audible inhale by all 567 of them.... 🎶 Tomorrow-we'll-discover-What-our-God-in-Heaven-has-in-store “HUUUUUH” one more daaaaawn 🎶
Fun Fact about The 25th anniversary Concert of Les Miserables Ramin Karimloo did began to know Colm Wilkinson As, he performed in The Phantom for the Canada Version of The Phantom of The Opera.
This 25th anniversary performance was almost as good as the 10th anniversary celebration. That said, any Les Mis performance is great. I'd go to a high school performance just to hear the music.
I will never get over how excited Ramin is to be performing alongside Colm Wilkinson.
He’s one true Superfan of Colm’s and I completely understand why.
The look of pure happiness Colm has when standing next to and singing with Ramon. One of my favorite scenes. 😊
Heck! I'd be as well!!!! He's irreplaceable!
Fab ,xx

I prefer ramin’s voice than colm, but i can understand why he loves colm.

It would've been interesting if the little girl who played young Cosette in the 10th Anniversary ended up playing older Cosette in the 25th
My Goddaughter played young Cosette last year prior to the lockdown and it is far more likely she will be young Eponine in the future

@@Martin-es8mb The first time I saw it back in New York when I lived there it was an absolutely thrilling experience.
Colm should’ve been Jean Valjean for the movie. There I said it.
@@m2cscream I agree that Colm may be -- outwardly -- to old for young Valjean. But that man's voice is timeless! He can run circles around anyone who's taken on the role since he created it.
@@rickydenotredame agreed. NO ONE can do "Bring Him Home" to his level.
Although... I AMAZINGLY did hear an off-Broadway performer that played him and I was 10000% shocked that I put him as Colm's true successor. I literally got goosebumps during Bring Him Home - I have NEVER heard anyone come close to Colm.
If only they had put him in the movie 😭😭😭😭
Hadley was once again absolutely perfect!🥰
Colm Wilkenson ,best Valjean,love his voice
I also think he is the best Valjean!
I think they are all brilliant. CONGRATULATIONS TO LES MISERABLES ALL CASTS. X
Alfie Bow's face lit up with a huge smile when Colm Wilkinson started singing, that shows that he is a fan as well as a singer, and the fact that he pulled back so he wouldn't drown out Colm shows his respect to him
Not for me .. Dean Chisnall is the best all rounder ... Alfie and Colm are fantastic singers but Dean's acting in combination with his singing is just incredible
Definitely! I think the next would be ramin because of his acting. Some just take Jean Valjean too far.
I wonder what Nick Jonas was feeling singing with people who can actually sing. I mean Nick Jonas is a singer alright but definitely not cut out for this genre.
he was and is a boy among men here.
Avatar Roku I SCREAMED
OMG! He was so young and what an opportunity for him. And people get better with age. Are you aware of that?
@@dmnester626 yes, but I don't see your point
@@ceetaylorr people do get better with age, yes! But they shouldn’t be cast BEFORE they get better ;)
My favorite musical of all time!
Everyone is so stoked to see the original cast it gives me some optimism ❤🥹
Wow! Lea Salonga!!! So Proud of you!!!
Thank you for uploading this...got to experience such beautiful show even here in internet
The Eurovision fan in me is kind of giddy: THREE contest alums! Colm represented his native Ireland in 1978, while Michael Ball and Frances Ruffelle represented the United Kingdom in 1992 and 1994 respectively
So awesome to have been there. Top 5 life moment!
I just love Les Mis. And Ramin. And everyone else!
And yet again because this was just SO AMAZING!
There will really never ever be a Marius quite like Michael ball - nor an eponine like Frances
Never gets old!! The're all amazing!
One Day More is my favourite song in Les Miserables
Empty chairs at Empty tables
And again and it still brings tears to my eyes...you are all SO AMAZING!
Sensational this Song appeals to All Generations a late friend a trained pianist played it in a pub every one joined in including the pool players 👏👏👏❤️
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! FANTASTIC CAST! ❤️❤️❤️
This compilation still gives me goosebumps to my core every time! Wow!
Absolutely speechless 💓
This had to be amazing live.
amber McGregor It was; this cast was particularly outstanding. 💗
Calm ! I'm crying even before hearing one note ! God bless my second hero ! q
I wish there was a big audible inhale by all 567 of them.... 🎶 Tomorrow-we'll-discover-What-our-God-in-Heaven-has-in-store “HUUUUUH” one more daaaaawn 🎶
Lea deserves some airtime
Lea is a beautiful Fantine but an amazing Eponine. Original cast is nice, though.
I listened this part with my tears.
I love this musical
Ramin!!!
涙と鳥肌が止まらないんだ
沢山の人達で創られて、沢山の人に愛されてる
ミュージカルの中で一番好き、これ以上のものを私は知らない
Didn't know Inspector Thursday from Endeavour had such a fine Singing voice.
Roger Allam can do anything!
I was trying to figure out why I thought I recognised him!
2:48 and Nick Jonas cries quietly inside
Just so emotional song. I would watch this on a daily basis. Bob Wheeler
I agree....what an amazing performance...when I listen to this I feel like doing handstands in the park!
Fun Fact about The 25th anniversary Concert of Les Miserables Ramin Karimloo did began to know Colm Wilkinson As, he performed in The Phantom for the Canada Version of The Phantom of The Opera.
Such unbelievable talent all on the stage, singing at once!
I was so lucky to see the original show
I just LOVE Roger Allam.
Chills. Every time. This is the cast I saw 😻
Amazing...have seen Les Mis in Liverpool London and New York..will never fire of it..wonderful!! X
This 25th anniversary performance was almost as good as the 10th anniversary celebration. That said, any Les Mis performance is great. I'd go to a high school performance just to hear the music.
I love this musical !
IM CRYING!!! SURREAL MOMENT!!!
I saw this cast and their London performance in 1999. Never before or since have I seen such a great performance!
