Title: Forget the 2004 film and watch this instead.
Product review: I've never had the chance to see POTO live on stage, and until now my only exposure to the show was random Youtube clips, and also the 2004 Hollywood version (which was...disappointing, to say the least). If you can't make it to the live show, get this version. Ramin Karimloo's performance alone is worth the price-- he blows me away! The rest of the cast is good as well, particularly Sierra Boggess, whom I think is even better than Sarah Brightman.The staging isn't perfect, but at least it IS staged. I'm not too sure how I feel about the screens in the background-- I don't think that was an ideal choice --but most of the time I didn't notice them because I was too wrapped up in the music.Also, I'm a big Les Mis fan, so seeing Colm Wilkinson, John Owen-Jones, and Anthony Warlow during the encore was a really great moment.
