yup. just as i thought. Les Mis 25th Concert.
generally epic!! now i shall proceed to tell you about the actors. :DD
biggest highlight:
ALFIE BOE AS VALJEAN.
HE. IS. AMAZING. LIKE ACTUALLY.
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN.
AFDSADAD%$#455.
lea salonga as fantine was amazing, as usual.
she's just an epic epic singer, no matter what.
she made me cry again during fantine's arrest. )':
javert was passable...norm lewis.
he got better towards the end, beginning was a bit stoned.
but in terms of emotional quality, vin does it so much better.
the eponine was played by samantha barks.
a bit too pop-y for me, but she has a wonderful voice.
and she's really really pretty too. haha... xDD
enjolras, played by ramin karimloo.
hahaha, i can't get love never dies out of my mind.
every time i see ramin now, i'm like LOLPHANTOM.
don't get me wrong, his voice is amazing, but i can't help it.
cosette was so-so. she wasn't amazing, but a clear voice.
sounded a bit like a bleating sheep a few times, but yeah.
i loved her dress. the new costume is gorgeous.
the thenadiers were BRILLIANTLY HILARIOUS.
they totally made my day just by sheer awesomeness. :DD
a lot of the supporting actors were wonderful too.
the pimp was SO GOOD. ;DDDD
and now, my favourite character.
monsieur marius pontmercy.
guess what? nick jonas was shit.
he was like the dramatic equivalent of cardboard.
actually, scrap that. even cardboard beats him in interestingness.
his constant 'i am being serious and looking constipated' face was horrible.
his singing is just terrible. like the omfg sort of terrible.
i was so happy when michael ball started singing at the end.
soooo much ebtter than nick, like honestly.
all in all, AMAZING.
