Les Miserables
1988 ~ London
Martin Smith (u/s), Ron Callagher, Jayne Draper, Maurice Clark (u/s Marius), Kathleen Roure McAllen Pro-shot. Not Bad for its age, looks like a house monitor. Some scenes are horribly difficult to make out. B-
Les Miserables
12/28/91 ~ London
Meredith Braun, Stifyn Parri, Grania Renihan,Peter Karrie, Lisa Hull, Darryl Knock. A dark dvd; Very hard to make out some of the action. Includes "Behind the Barricade" special. C
Les Miserables:
London Dec 11, 1999
John Owen Jones, Gunilla Blackman, John Stacey, Tom Lucas, Jane Horn, Jamie Farr.
Great close ups of actors... head interference and the taper tends to stray from the action at times. A-
Les Miserables
4/25/01 ~ Broadway
Ivan Rutherford, Shuler Hensley, Jacquelyn Piro, Catherine Brunell, Sandra Turley, Peter Lockyer, Christopher Peterson. The new cut version of the show. No picture for the first 5 minutes. Very nice close-ups and sound. Can be a bit grainy, but it's not distracting. A-
Les Miserables:
London, July 14, 2004
Sean Kingsley, Michael McCarthy, Joanna Ampil, Gemma Wardle, Gary Tushaw, Oliver Thorton. A Truly marvelous cast. The DVD begins at "Who am I" and has a few short blackouts in the beginning of the show. Joanna Ampil, Sean Kingsley, and Gemma Wardle steal the show. Great picture, sound and a few closeups. A.
LES MISEABLES Broadway, May 12, 2007 Alexander Gemignani, Drew Sarich
(u/s), Lea Salonga, Adam Jacobs, Mandy Bruno, Ali Ewoldt, Gary Beach, Ann
Harada The new cast. Filmed in widescreen. This DVD has a lot of pluses and minuses... It has some great close ups but a lot of head obstruction and "Oh shit it's an usher" moments when the screen just goes blank. Unfortunately the blackouts occur through much of "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Stars". Lea Salonga makes an incredible Fantine, and this also features Mandy Bruno in her short career as Eponine. Also, Dew Sarich makes a surprisingly good Javert. I give this an A
LES MISERABLES - Broadway Saturday, February 17th, 2007 - Alexander
Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine),
Gary Beach (Thendardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thenardier), Celia
Kennan-Bolger (Eponine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Drew
Sarich (Enjolras u/s). You really can't get much better than this DVD. It is almost like watching a ProShot production, and even includes credits at the end. Celia Keenan Bolger, Ali Ewoldt, Jenny Galloway, and Adam Jacobs are some of the more memorable performers in this DVD... Daphne Rubin Vega fails utterly at Fantine. A+
I plan on building my DVD collection over the summer :)
