@@rorcal7203 Not the first ever Valjean 'cuz one dude in France performed as Valjean at the Palais des Sports in Paris in the year 1980. Colm was one o' the first English speakin' Valjeans since 1985 West End. The musical's long journey (based on the novel) started w/ its first performance at the Palais des Sports AND the French language concept album in 1980. So Colm wasn't the first Jean Valjean, but he was one o' the most iconic Valjeans.

I knew the stage showed the galley, which was inaccurate and had only meanings for the punishment. But 2012 film showed the accurate method of how thy treating prisoners, since there was no rowing galley ships at that time. Still I prefer the stages but the film's Visual Effect was great.

The opening of the film is great-one of the best film openings.

@@designbookInc for real. i recently played Amos in a production of Chicago, by far the most fun I've had performing a musical, and theres so many productions of les mis all around the world. i dont believe it has a longterm home in the US, youre better off going to see it on the West End in London.

Lotta ill informed comments here. The singing was filmed live on the day, not voiced over. This was as close to a filmed live musical as any of us will see. The only caveat is they were afforded multiple takes. Sure, lotta press around this "fact"... and lotta mixing to do to mix out ambient sound. But this production had a lot of integrity. And hey, haters: Crowe can effing SING! The rough edges here are intentional, the artists' choices. That's what makes this an important and undersung production.

If you listen carefully you'll notice Jackman's voice and delivery are deliberately cleaner, more obviously "trained"--dumbass suited to the character. Likewise Crowe's rough edges. Dramatic, directed and rehearsed choices both. Good guy-Bad guy="good voice - bad voice."

We need a musical or play about Napoleon and his marshals or their aftermath of this style

It’s so cute. The french didn’t have enough ships left at the end of the Napoleonic wars for this beginning to make sense. They were either at the bottom of the sea or more likely in the hands of the British.

@musicalaviator

3 ай бұрын

To be fair, the ship they're hauling is a wreck. The plot of the stage musical puts it at 1815 - so the restored King Louis 16th (second restoration) would have recently returned to power in France, essentially placed there by England literally escorted to France by Wellington's Army. Under the restored Bourbon monarchy, France started commissioning ships again. Seems in dry dock here, they have a damaged, listing ship that seems to have been taking on water and shedding its jibboom being pulled in, and a new ship under construction in a different dock. Places it right about the first year of the Bourbon Restoration nicely. The only oddity is the wrong flag, but given it's soiled and on a broken bowsprit, maybe it's just an old flag from an old ship that hasn't been disposed of yet. The French flag in 1815 was of course white with 50 gold fleur de lis (national flag) or a plain white ensign with no detail (Naval Ensign). It might be surprising to realize how quickly the French navy was rebuilt after 1815 - but this was because the restored King of France had a load of help from the other Kings of Europe who were keen to put France back in the hands of a proper royal family and stabilize their economy to avoid future revolutions. The fact that there were literally dozens of uprizings, up to and including another Emperor Napoleon (III) within the next 40 years ... gives us the backdrop of this musical.
