An excellent musical production of this well known Victor Hugo novel interpreted by Cameron Macintosh. Featuring a cast in excess of 400 the performance is memory making. Comes with bonus disc which enhances the whole performance. Highly recommend.

I bought this DVD having not seen the musical although I was familiar with the songs. I would really recommend this for fans of the musical, all of the roles are played by superb singers which makes it a celebration of the show. There is one exception, Nick Jonas, whose nasal wailing just can't compare to the excellence of the others, in my opinion he spoiled it, obviously added to attract teenage girls. You should be aware that only the songs are performed, additional storyline details and scenery changes have not been added so you won't really know what is going on in the story if you have not seen the stage version. That said, the music and vocal performances are emphasized by the lack of fussy details.
This is absolutely fantastic, I can not fault it and can't stop listening or watching it. Les Miserables is as the critic's have put the best musical - album of all time. Once you watch it you will not stop humming to the music. This is so good I have started collecting the films different actors Russell Crowe film /musical, Anthony perkins /film and cd and dvd of 10th and 25th. Fantastic.

I bought this dvd as I am a big fan.my god I thought the 10th anniv.dvd was good but this one is superb.i loved every minute of it with the slight exception of the man who played javert he didn't sit as well in the role as Philip Quast did but that is just personal choice.after being sorely disappointed with the recent film this dvd more than made up for that-yes I would buy this dvd again in a heartbeat in fact I will probably have to when I wear it out.
Some friends of mine showed me this DVD as a preamble for us all going to see the film together. I'd never seen the show on stage (my friends had), so didn't know the story, although I was familiar with some of the songs. I loved this performance on this DVD and loved the film. As a result I bought this special edition for myself so I could relive the songs. The extra items on the special edition DVD are also interesting, although I'd see the film of Matt Lucas getting and singing the part of the innkeeper already on TV. I can thoroughly recommend this DVD, Alfie Boe, in particular, is fantastic. Even if you haven't see it on stage, the production is so good (and of course most of this musical is sung anyway), you easily get an idea of the story.
