The fact Ramin sings with them is just amazing, it is because the original actor who played Enjolras didn't attended and didn't feel vocally up to the part any more so Ramin stepped in, natually

Colm was the inspiration for Ramin to start singing. It must've been an unforgettable experience for him to sing side by side with him and at the 25th anniversary too!

I’m sure during both the 25th anniversary of Les Mis and of Phantom of the Opera, Ramin must have been absolutely ecstatic to be getting to sing alongside his idol(and even opposite him in a charity production of Les Mis that Sir Cameron did where Ramin was cast as Valjean and Colm was the Bishop).

@@tijay8507, what a lucky little girl. An extraordinary opportunity for someone who is so young. I would've loved that sort of chance as a child. Her parents must be very supportive of her, & proud of such an achievement. I hope she stays 'on course' through the years & doesn't do as so many youngsters do when growing up & let go of their childhood interests & hobbies for the teenage lures... as I did, (as did my sister too & many of the other people that I danced with). My own goddaughter was naturally very talented in all athletics but at a young age she started waning in her interest when she saw what her peers were doing whilst she was training. She's now coming up 15 in a matter of days & the only sport she does now is at school. It saddens me greatly to see her waste her talent & the fact that she lost her dreams at such a young age breaks my heart. It's such a waste but unlike your goddaughter mine did not have the unrelenting support of her parents, & their never ending complaints of driving her around to training, games & competitions added to the demise of her love of sports & continuing in this field. Obviously I tried telling her my own story & how I regretted the choice I made but of course when young you never listen to the advice of those who are older than you & that have gone before you & made these mistakes first & learned to live with their regrets! Kids are prone to making bad life choices, not their fault, they have no life experience, which is why the support of the parents & adults around them is so important. Keep encouraging & applauding your goddaughter & be unrelenting when the teenage years come! Remind her that they are only 7yrs long but adulthood is long reaching & the regrets follow throughout them! If she wants a career 'treading the boards' then she'll need to use those 7yrs of teens to her advantage, work hard & learn to look to the future, keep her eye on the prize & not bemoan the missed parties etc. I wish her all the best, & hope she achieves the dreams the rest of us all had to hide away in our hearts. (Message for @Ti Jays goddaughter; Follow your hearts desires young lady, & as the years pass don't let others dissuade you from following your dreams. Because in the end, when it gets hard, & if sadly you do have periods of 'failure' & the jobs aren't easily forthcoming, at least you'll know that you tried your hardest, (& that's where your education will come in to support you!). Work hard but don't forget your schooling either, because one day you may need to rely on it. I hope one day, when the pandemic is over & the theatres are open again to be able to see you on the stage.... 'Les Mis' is my all time favourite show & I've been to see it many times 🤩😍.... Keep your eyes on the stars kiddo 🎤🎶📽️... It is do-able!!! 🤞🏻You've already got your feet firmly on this career path. Young Cosette on stage!! It's a huge achievement that you've already bagged. Well done, the biggest congratulations).

Ramin fits in beautifully. The original cast could walk right back on the stage, they all sounded wonderful. Did anyone get a slight giggle that Nick Jonas, talented as he is was utterly out matched with all those men and women. He looked a good bit overwhelmed at the end with the Ramin and the 2 others, as if he had no idea what note to sing, poor guy.

看了那么多音乐剧，这首合唱绝对称王！！！

The chills I get through my headphones are no match for what it would have been like to be there. Incredibly jealous of that audience and what they got to experience. A once in a lifetime experience!

Everyone is so stoked to see the original cast it gives me some optimism ❤🥹

Michael ball and Philip Quast are huge inspirations for me. I would love to meet them one day.

I NEED any music director tackling this song to make sure the Thenardiers sing out that “MUCH” long & loud the way they did here and in the 10th anniversary concert, that particular note on that particular chord just as the big choir starts singing is so powerful.

It is nice to hear the original cast. I grew up listening to them on disc and I have their rendition on DVD. They will always be my favourite
