Title: No!
Product review: I listened to clips from this- and I wish I could have seen my face reacting. Probably a mixture of disgust and terror! There was no emotion in it at all! There was no Fontine, or Javert- only people singing in the roles, just singing the notes if anyone knows what I mean. I shudder at how they would have done my favorite song, "On My Own". And I'm fairly glad it wasn't one of the clips. I would never buy this CD. It is not worth it.The people aren't terrible singers- but they are NOT singers that should sing Les Mis. I didn't think that the instrumental was too bad- but everything just sounded deliberate- it was not at all like it was real. I could name a few casts that DO make it real in case you are wondering. Go try the CD clips from a CD called "Les Miserables: The Musical That Swept The World (10th Anneversary)" or something to that effect. That is my very favorite cast- they bring Les Mis to life like no others! They are incredible! But this one: Sorry but it's a no go folks!
