Ugly. He did really well considering. Is he the best one there? No. But he did his best. Really, considering who's there, it could have been much worse. He was a teen pop star. And he agreed to do this. Took guts. I don't think he does d it because he thought he was as good as the others. He did it for the thrill of performing with those extremely talented folks at the top 🎩 f their game. Again, took guts. I was never a big g fan of his, but my now 18 year old Granddaughter was! Her step dad had a cousin who looked a lot t like Nick. Cute young teen with curly hair!! She was a pretty little curly haired girl with a huge crush. So I knew who he was. I still think he had a lot of guts and probably had a great time. Be nice. It doesn't cost you anything.

I thought Ramin was brilliant at The Phantom but now I see he is brilliantly capable of doing EVERYTHING his way and no one stops him.

He played Gavroche as a child way before he was known as a jonas brother. Though I agree he wasn't right for the role they put him in, he does know the production very well and they probably tried to fit him in somewhere more than they would with others because he clearly can't play gavroche anymore.

From what I have seen of Samantha I think she was probably honored...and Lea was too. Samantha came to "fame" singing weekly under the scrutiny of Andrew Lloyd Weber (I'd Do Anything, the talent search show), even singing his song "Memory" in a sing off with Rachel Tucker (which she won). They are both such gracious, classy performers. Also the "original" Eponine was Frances Ruffle and Lea certainly had already redefined the songs by the 1995 concert. All of these women bring such a rich talent in acting and singing to that important character, I enjoy them all!

@@leooo266 kzread.info/dash/bejne/no1-z81wdbS5ibA.html This is a video of the sing off. The show was to cast someone for the role of Nancy in "Oliver". Sam didn't win but wouldn't really have been the best one for the role at that time anyway (although she did play it later). Actually Cameron Mackintosh was also there, as he was the producer of Oliver.. This was one of about 40 songs they had to learn in 8 weeks and Samantha was 17, had just entered for experience. She may or may not have been nervous here in this video but if so, I suspect it is not because of Lea, who is super sweet too.

Ramin and Hadley so casually talking and WE ALL KNOW IT'S LIKE FIVE SECONDS AFTER HADLEY'S PART omg they're so cute and inseparatable

Is very hilarious seeing the friendship between Ramin and Hadley here considering that they are practically enemies in The Phantom of the Opera as Raoul and The Phantom

I love it how Alfie looks so chilled while he's like, belting it.

Alfie and Ramin can verse each other on stage for all I know for about 3 hrs and i'd never complain about it.

Ramin starts singing... I start bowing... LOVE this man!!

Imagine how Sam was feeling singing with Lea Salonga in the room! I wouldn't have been able to do it, but she's such a star that she pulled it off!❤❤

Came here for Samantha and left even more amazed.

I think that Nick is not a bad singer, but he shouldn't have been casted for a mayor role. His voice is not strong enough and all the other voices make him dissapear.

If anyone’s curious about Ramin’s hair here, I watched an interview from around the same time and I believe he said he grew it out to cover up marks left by the phantom make up/prosthetics. I might have my timelines mixed up, but I think he was doing LND at the time.

Love. Love. Love! I absolutely love Les Mis! Thank you so much for putting this up. I loved seeing them so casual and seeing the work behind everything since I know how much work goes into high school shows. I can't imagine how much goes into major performances like this.

Alfie Boe has the A-MA-ZING! Voice ever. I was lucky to hear him sing Bring Him Home a few years ago at the London Palladium. You could have heard a pin drop and the raw emotion was something else.

My fav performance of bring him home is definitely by Ramin K

SAMANTHA BARKS KILLING IT OF COURSE

3:04 - IDK....I always tear up so I can't see the timer anymore is ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN THE WHOLE MUSICAL ! Even though nobody sings..... Edit about to 3: 05

Singers like Nick Jonas and Gareth Gates an bring a whole new audience to Les Mis and musical theater. A friend of mine originally only agreed to see Les Mis because Gareth Gates was in it. She loved the show, and now regularly watches musical theater on the West End. I'm sure there are many Les Mis fans, who only saw the show originally because of Nick Jonas.

Bridie finally a bit of common sense. Nick Jonas can’t compete vocally with Alfie Boe but then Alfie Boe hasn’t sold millions of records. Room for all in musical theatre especially those with millions of fans worldwide.
