"Excellent music worth cranking up the stereo. The finale is amazing!! Didn't realize it wasn't the actual performance but the talent in the music totally makes up for it"

"This was as good as hoped for. My family and I have seen the musical live 3 times. This brought back great memories for all of us. The cast is indeed a "dream." I can imagine the sets while the singers sang. Images were painted in my mind. I would say that it beneficial to have seen the show onstage but those who have not could still really enjoy the music immensely."

Absolutely Beautiful!

"This DVD of Les Miserables is a must-have for your collection. I had it on VHS and lost it when my daughter took it and have been wanting to replace it with the DVD for a long time. This is so beautiful and amazing. This set is a 2-disc collector's edition. Disc 1 is the concert (live performance) and disc 2 includes the making of Les Miserables and a booklet is included. The performance features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a 150-voice choir. At the end of the performance, 17 Jean Valjeans from 17 different countries march down the center from the back carrying flags of their countries to the stage. They each sing a part of "Do You Hear the People Sing" in their native languages. The beauty of this masterpiece made me cry. Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert at London's Royal Albert Hall is AWESOME!!!!!"

Phenomenal

"This DVD really does capture broadway and put it on your screen at home. You see it in the beginning of the DVD with the opening song. From beginning to end its non-stop great music. Its got an all-star cast including some of the best of Les Mis. Valjean (Colm Wilkinson)is so outstanding, his presence and his voice is just truly remarkable and has always made the character for me. And of course Lea Salonga as Eponine just has the voice and the face that seems so lovely and elegant.



People who have not seen the play or know the story may have a hard time following what is going on in the DVD because it goes from song to song with nearly nothing in between. Although they do show pictures on the big screen from the original play and also have a small side stage where a small amount of acting is done during songs, not to mention where the Baracade appears. But there is a short synopsis of the main story in the DVD book.



For those who have seen the play and know whats going on, then this will just be memories upon memories and bring Les Mis right into your home. I recommend this DVD for music lovers in general. I haven't met anyone yet who can hate or be unimpressed with this music."
