Title: Wonderfully current
Review: Loved it. I first saw this concert on PBS March 2011, so I just had to get my own copy. So many wonderful new singers and some returning favorites make this a wonderfully current performance.Desipite those who criticize Nick Jones as Marius, I think it is refreshing. For the snobs who get all wigged out from the fact he is a "pop start", you might get your nickers unbound to know he cut his teeth in the Theatre (poo poo) in Les Mis, no less, as a child. I think his performance as Marius was accomplished - ok, anyone compared to Michael is going to fall short - but that shouldn't take away from the work Nick put into it. Give the lad a break. Should Nick wish to return to musical theatre fulltime, I think he could - he is certainly young enough to achieve many years of experience and have a brite future ahead of him. I get the impression we have not seen the last of Nick beyond "pop star".
