LES MISERABLES: THE MUSICAL THAT SWEPT THE WORLD IN CONCERT: THE DREAM CAST
LES MISÉRABLES is acclaimed as the most beloved musical in the world. Finally, the full grandeur of the score, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is immortalized on video during the magnificent 10th Anniversary Gala Concert, showcased live at the Royal Albert Hall. This exceptional rendition of Les Misérables features an extraordinary ensemble cast. Over 250 performers grace the stage, including many of the most renowned stars who have participated in the production globally. Furthermore, this exclusive video edition includes behind-the-scenes footage that will never be aired on television, providing an unmatched look into the enchanting world of LES MISÉRABLES.
The video of the 10th Anniversary Concert for the international musical phenomenon Les Misérables might serve as the perfect treat for fans while awaiting a feature film adaptation. It could even surpass that, as films typically face casting decisions influenced by factors beyond the music, whereas this remarkable 1995 cast is exceptional. Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Michael Ball (Marius), and Alun Armstrong (Thenardier) reprise their original roles from the London cast. Joining them are Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Lea Salonga (Eponine), and Michael Maguire (Enjolras) from Broadway; Ruthie Henshall (Fantine) from a later London staging; and Philip Quast (Javert) from Australia.
The score by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg powerfully conveys the emotion of Victor Hugo's grand narrative set in post-Revolutionary France, blending heart-wrenching ballads like "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Bring Him Home" with spirited anthems such as "Do You Hear the People Sing?" This concert is formatted more like a dramatic cantata than a traditional staged performance; the singers remain at their microphones with an orchestra and choir behind them, though they are dressed in costumes and engage in limited movement. During key moments, such as the climactic barricade scene, the video transitions to footage from a staged production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra delivers a fantastic sound, and it is exhilarating to witness 200 choristers (wearing logo T-shirts) standing up for an ensemble number like "One Day More." Additionally, subtitles offer information on dates and scenes, aiding in the progression of the narrative.
The 147-minute video features footage that wasn't included during Les Mis's appearances on PBS pledge drives, particularly a memorable encore where 17 actors who have portrayed Valjean worldwide join together to sing "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Each performer delivers a line in their native tongue, underscoring the show's lasting impact on audiences all around the world.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
