![]() ![]() The orchestra brought the entire performance together beautifully. I especially loved all the projections that they used, especially the one in the sewers when Valjean is carrying Marius and running away from Javert. It’s a visually stunning production and has a lot more color than the original. Karimloo is truly talented with a strong voice and perfect tone. 18 thoughts on New 25th anniversary tour of ‘Les Misérables’ is revolutionary Ali. Ramin Karimloo as Enjolres is incredibly strong, again making Jonas pale in comparison. Can anyone else play this role as well? Of all of the Javerts I have ever seen, none has ever been sung as masterfully as Norm Lewis he is magnificent to watch. As always Lea Salonga is fragile and strong as Fantine. His beautiful rendition of "Bring Him Home" really proves he has the chops to handle this role. So many excellent singers have brought such depth and strength to the character of Jean Valjean and Alfie Boe does an admirable job. Side by side with Samantha Barks as Eponine, however, he pales in comparison to her amazing voice. His voice does not remotely compare to the professional theater performers, yet he does carry the songs well enough and he carries his scenes admirably enough. I'll address Nick Jonas as Marius right away. It's impossible to see this particular film without comparing to other performances but I will comment on this film alone. I have seen "Les Misérables" live on stage, the film, and several on stage recordings.
