As someone who has seen Les Miserables live, I want to say what a treat it is to own this video. With the exception of elaborate sets, this video is the closest you can get without paying for a theater ticket. In some ways it is even better, because they've gathered the best talent to perform. Seeing the intense Colm Wilkenson, the fabulous Michael Ball and the emotional Lea Salonga all together is a singular experience. What am I saying? The entire cast is terrific! However, I must add a sidenote: Les Miz was not written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, as I read on one of the other reviews. It was written by Alain Boubil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. Please give credit where credit is due! And please treat yourself to the fantastic experience of watching this video! Enjoy!
