Negative Positive
Title: Dissapointed but expected
Review: Les Miserables is one of the, if not, the greatest musicals of all time. However this ensemble of a cast was disappointing. Marketing was at play to gain a new audience. They did the same with Phantom of the Opera movie. Why in the world would they cast Nick Jonas? How do you go from Michael Balll to a Jonas Brother? His accent was more "English" than the British. I think little Gavourche would have put on a better Marius. This Valjean is no Colm Wilkinson. Wilksonson was the most convincing of Valjeans because you could feel a man and his struggles when he sings. This Javert commands no authority and Thenardier was difficult to watch. This cast is a dismal comparison to the Original London Cast, but this was also expected.I do recommend that Les Mis fans rent this copy because of the nice little treats at the end of the DVD.
