This Concert version of the Long-running hit "Les Miserables" has indeed asembled a most talented group of actor/singers from the various stagings of this well crafted show. Colm Wilkinson is,was,and ever will be the finest Jean Valjean. The emotional levels he reaches,particularly in "Who Am I" and "Bring Him Home" never cease to touch me. Ruthie Henshall is just about the finest young actress the musical theatre has today. She is talented,pretty and owns the most wonderfully developed singing voice. She,unlike many other young broadway stars today has a distinctivvoice all her own,and as Fantine she captures your emotions in its melodic embrace. Philip Quast is a driven and powerful Javert and Shakespearean actor Allun Armstrong does some show stopping work with the role of Thenardier. Over all this is a must see/must own musical event.
