Wow! Just finished watching the 25th anniversary concert at the O2 of Les Miserables. That is a fantastic DVD worth every penny of the £9.99. 3 hours!

If you like the show I recommend the DVD Alfie Boe is wonderful as Jean Val Jean

Barbra, it is 3 hours approx long. Well worth watching though. Especially good after the show has finished. Would have loved to have been there.

Frank, no I didn't know that. What a powerful voice he has. And 'Javert' had a marvellous voice too.

Just had a look at a photo of him without his beard Frank and he does look a lot like Dec doesn't he?

I must be out on my own - just after show opened, friend went to see it and bought me a tape. I can recall listening to it whilst I was ironing and got so depressed! Maybe it was the ironing that always depressed me.

Oh I've just seen this, it's my favourite show of all time. I have the cds and the dvds and can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. It's the first dvd they did and I can't remember who was in it then, not unpacked since moving so will have to dig it out now.

Love Caz xx

I have yet to see this recording, but after broad hints, it was one of the gifts we bought grandson for Christmas.

I'll have to watch it sometime., by the sound of your reports.

Caz, this latest DVD is of the concert that was held at the O2 last October to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show. If you have the 10th anniversary one done at the Albert Hall i would say this one is even better.

Chris you need to see the show itself before listening to the CD, and I found you need to see it more than once to really appreciate it.
