Les Miserables 25th Concert
I guess this concert was actually done in 2010, but it is just now airing on PBS. It's the 25th anniversary concert celebration for Les Miserables. I actually have never watched or read any of it -- not Victor Hugo's novel, any of the movies, or these musical stage versions. But now I am hooked. I was blown away by this concert. Did anyone see this or have you seen it before?

I saw it!
I think that the best part of the musical was the performance by the 1985 cast crew.
It was kind of nostalgic, Victor Hugo was part of our English syllabus at school.

When I was in school, we never had to read Hugo. I agree about the encore with the '85 cast. I went on a You Tube rampage in the last 24 hours, finding videos with these guys. I have to say one thing. Michael Ball puts Nick Jonas to shame. I am positive Jonas got the part to try and lure in the teenagers. There is no other reason for him being in that cast. Watching Ball for about one minute is all you need to realize how pale Jonas compares to him. Actually, he couldn't even keep up with the 2010 cast.
