Boe’s voice during that song blew me away. In this performance Alfie Boe portrayed the role of Jean Valjean, and it was not until he sang “Bring Him Home” that I realized what a powerful singer one has to be to portray this character. Also in this performance Samantha Barks portrayed the role of Eponine. The casting included some very well known London and American singers and theater performers, such as Earl Carpenter, Lea Salonga, Alfie Boe, Norm Lewis, Ramin Karimloo, Hadley Fraser, Jenny Galloway, and Nick Jonas. While watching one cannot help but to pay attention to the lighting that was used, as well as the fog, and the screens, which were used to help tell the story better and give close ups of the actors and actresses. The casting for this performance was very well done, and the props, although little, were well used. This concert on DVD came to the states and was in theaters in 2010, and it has also been on PBS as well. The first time that I watched the DVD was in March of 2012 and I have been hooked on this musical ever since then.
