Great Music... Great Story... BUT I would really like the full musical to be brought to DVD

I love Les Miserables.... it's my favorite fictional story ever told. i love the musical even more. The music was so inspired and keeps you singing the tunes for days...weeks... even years after hearing it.

The musical is great that being said I don't understand why they would market it in the concert format. As good as the music is by itself it's even better to have the actions etc along with it. I've been hoping for ten years for them to bring the full musical to DVD and it looks like I'll still be waiting for what I really want.

"Dream Cast" is a perfect description

There is no doubt that this is the best production of the musical ever done. Casting is superb, and the performances of these professionals are full of the passion you would expect from actors immersed in their characters and at the top of their musical form. Movies have never captured the essence of Hugo's masterpiece, and some have been an outright offense to Hugo's work, but the musical productions are able to tap into the emotion much better and much deeper. This particular performance, even without the drama of a set or the progression of the musical play, captures the heart and mind beyond any expectation. It is not just recommended; it's a must see!

Great Music, Fantastic Cast

This performance does indeed have the dream cast. The roles are played to perfection. The bonus information is most interesting. To think that the critics panned the original stage performance, although the public loved it. Les Mis is truely one of the greatest musicals ever composed. There is one disappointment, however. The Tenth Anniversary Concert, as seen on PBS, included a special encore presenting actors who played Jean Valjean in productions from 17 different countries, each stepping up to sing a line, or two, of "Do You Here the People Sing" in his own language. This encore was omitted from the DVD, although it was included on the CD of this concert. I can see this encore only on my own VCR of the concert. Too bad.

Unique & Superb

Cast members from the World join on stage and remain throughout this unique performance. Such does not detract; rather the performance is enhanced by the witnesses, who are our surrogates, to their own stunning performance. We all see and hear Victor Hugo's message transmitted with clarity of life's revolution taking place within and around each one of us. The ending will send chills down the back of the most cynical critic of the theater.
