Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - November 11, 2006

Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - February 17, 2007

VOB (no smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Drew Sarich (u/s Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche)

​

NOTES: IMO this video is better than the more popular May 12 one--a little better A/V quality, plus Norm Lewis.

​

​

Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 27, 2007

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: Drew Sarich (Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renee Daniels (u/s Fantine), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Eponine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Chip Zien (Thenardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thenardier), Brian D’Addario (Gavroche), Max von Essen (Enjolras)

​

MASTER'S NOTES: "Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement.. A-"

MY NOTES: I didn't find it too dark. There's some issues with a head in the way, but that seemed to be a problem for mezzanine shots in this theatre.

Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - July 28, 2007 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Zach Rand (Gavroche), Kylie Liya Goldstein (Little Cosette), Carly Rose Sonenclar (Young Éponine), James Chip Leonard (The Bishop), Michael Minarik (Grantaire)

​

NOTES: Very nice video! I love Lea Salonga as Fantine. She and Carrie Hope Fletcher can just rotate playing Fantine and Eponine forever, please.

​

​

Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche)

​

NOTES: Excellent quality video and audio! And this cast deserves it! One of the best Les Mis videos out there, or at least in my collection.

​

​

Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - May 13, 2014 (Turnofthescorpion's master)

MP4 (HD) ֎

CAST: Nathaniel Hackmann (u/s Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Caissie Levy is my pick for standout here, but terrific performances from everyone! Excellent video quality, too. It's a popular video, and deserves it. This is sometimes listed as NFT, but not usually: if you know for sure, PLEASE let me know!

 

​

Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - May 17, 2014 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

VOB (no smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Aaron Walpole (u/s Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Worth it for all the reasons, but especially to watch Will Swenson borderline have an anger aneurysm during Stars. So great.

​

 

Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - August 21, 2014

VOB (no smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Nathaniel Hackmann (u/s Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche), Mia Sinclair Jenness (Little Cosette), Angeli Negron (Young Éponine), Adam Monley (The Bishop)

​

NOTES: Mostly blackout for the first 8-9 minutes of Act 1 and 2 of Act 2; picks up during Silver Candlesticks and Eponine delivering the letters. Excellent video otherwise. Audio is beautiful throughout the whole show. Nathaniel Hackman carries the JVJ torch wonderfully!

​

 

Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - July 1, 2015 

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), John Rapson (u/s Javert), Erika Henningsen (Fantine), Melissa Mitchell (u/s Cosette), Chris McCarrell (Marius), Brennyn Lark (Éponine), Wallace Smith (Enjolras), Gavin Lee (Thénardier), Rachel Izen (Madame Thénardier), Sam Chuck (Gavroche), Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire)

​

NOTES: This is the VOB+smalls version released by the master, not the high-quality mpeg (also released by the master) or the low-quality mp4 that also circulate. Filmed from above at a pretty significant angle, with some obstruction of both sides of the stage. Otherwise, video is great quality and very nicely filmed. Audio is wonderful!

​

​

​

WEST END (10)

​

Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire)

​

NOTES: Single-cam proshot from the back center. Keep in mind it's 1987--a line of noise at the bottom, spotlit action is great but anything in the background is super shadowed. Sound is reasonable! Fun to see the tiny little differences in staging.

​

​

Les Miserables - West End - December 11, 1999

VOB (with smalls) ֎

CAST: John Owen-Jones (Jean Valjean), John Stacey (u/s Javert), Gunilla Backman (Fantine), Jaime Farr (u/s Cosette), Tom Lucas (Marius), Jane Horn (Éponine), Mark Powell (u/s Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Joanna Mays (Madame Thénardier), James Buckley (Gavroche), Georgina Leonidas (Little Cosette), Earl Carpenter (Grantaire)

​

NOTES: Filmed from the orchestra, with great close-ups. A little generation loss as per 1999, but nothing bad. Probably tied for my favorite original-staging video.

​

 

Les Misérables - West End - May 6, 2006

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Tim Godwin (u/s Jean Valjean), Cornell John (Javert), Kerry Ellis (Fantine), Julia Möller (Cosette), Hayden Tee (Marius), AJ Callaghan (u/s Éponine), Nolan Dark (u/s Enjolras), Barry James (Thénardier), Tracie Bennett (Madame Thénardier)

​

MASTER'S NOTES: Taper’s comments: Amanda and Nolan are better than the principles and Tim sounds uncannily like JOJ (Home Counties accent not-withstanding). He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis.

​

​

Les Miserables – West End – May 2011

VOB (with smalls) (SD)  ֎

CAST: Jonathan Williams (u/s Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Rebecca Seale (Fantine), AJ Callaghan (u/s Cosette), Gareth Gates (Marius), Samantha Barks (Eponine), Killian Donnelly (Enjolras), Martin Ball (Thenardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thenardier)

​

NOTES: Usually circulates as MP4, but this is the MUCH nicer quality VOB version--720p, regular DVD quality. It is absolutely worth the upgrade. It's also a fantastic video--incredibly well shot, few to no obstructions, great close-ups, and maybe my favorite Norm Lewis performance overall.

​

 

Les Misérables - West End - September 18, 2013

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), Tam Mutu (Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Ilan Galkoff (Gavroche), Caoimhe Judd (Little Cosette)

Les Misérables - West End - December 18, 2013 (Matinee)

​

NOTES: I like exploring different casts, so I'm not sure why I traded for three videos with such similar ones so close together in time...but I am NOT complaining, not with them!

 

​

Les Misérables - West End - July 9, 2015 (Highlights) (musicalmania123's master)

VOB (no smalls) (SD) ֎

CAST:  Peter Lockyer (Jean Valjean), Jeremy Secomb (Javert), Rachelle Ann Go (Fantine), Zoe Doano (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Bradley Jaden (Enjolras), Phil Daniels (Thénardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Seizure warning for some rapid camera flickering. Gorgeous video and audio quality. Filmed from the front-front orchestra, so the only obstruction is...the edge of the stage and the spotlights. Medium-range shots, with the action followed very well. Terrific cast! Act 1 and beginning of Act 2. 

 

​

Les Misérables - West End - June 4, 2018 (Highlights)

MP4 (SD) ֎

​

Excellent video from the right mezzanine; impressively avoiding the heads seen very briefly. Love Dean Chisnall and Bradley Jaden (JVJ and Javert). Tied for my favorite original-staging video!

​

​

NOTES: Concert-style performance. Definite generation loss on the video, but good sound quality. Ruthie - Annalene - Frances isa great female lead team.

​

CAST: Fred Inkley (Jean Valjean), Devin Richards (Javert), Jacquelyn Piro Donovan (Fantine), Renee Brna (Cosette), Charlie Brady (Enjolras), Inga Ballard (Madame Thénardier)

NOTES: Lovely clear visuals, pro-shot from back center with very nice close-ups. Solid cast for a regional show. And as the name suggests, another one of my beloved large outdoor theatres!

​

​

Les Misérables - The Muny, St. Louis - July 19, 2013 (Highlights)

Oops. But very high-def, whatever it is, and gorgeous - 7GB file ֎

​

NOTES: About 80 min. of footage. Yay big outdoor theatres! Norm Lewis brings everything he's got and it's amazing.

​

​

Les Misérables - Dallas - August 2, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master)

​

NOTES: Excellent video of a VERY awesome non-replica show. This is fantastic! Nehal Joshi and Allison Blackwell (JVJ and Fantine) absolutely crush it. If you don't know the details of this production, don't spoil it with previews first. Unquestionably one of my top recommendations. Watch it!

​

​

Les Miserables: Les Magical MIZtory Tour (10 Years Of Pent Up Angst) - April 9, 1998 – Proshot

VOB (with smalls) - trades as limited, 2:1

CAST: Cast and crew of Australia's Les Miserables in their annual Easter Charity benefit.

 

RELEASER'S NOTES: Each of Cameron McIntosh's Australian shows participates at midnight after their regular performances. These shows feature the cast members parodying songs and other shows, with a slight tilt towards their own productions. Pro shot for video, these tapes were made for cast and crew only. Very rare! Very enjoyable show. LT, 2:1.

Les Misérables - Vienna - June 7, 1987 (Pro-shot)

MP4 (SD) ↈ

CAST: Reinhard Brussmann (Jean Valjean), Norbert Lamla (Javert), Sona MacDonald (Fantine), Martina Dorak (Cosette), Felix Martin (Marius), Jane Cawerford (Éponine), Alexander Dupold (Enjolras), Franz Csencsits (Thénardier), Ruth Hale (Madame Thénardier), Aris Sas (Gavroche)

​

NOTES: Heavy gen loss. Sound is *majorly* effed up through At the End of the Day-ish. After that, VLC still couldn't handle it, but it did all right in MPC-BE. It's still 1989, so don't expect miracles, but it's still fun to watch.

​

​

Les Misérables - Vienna - June 1988

VOB (with smalls)ↈ

​

NOTES: This is sometimes traded as "dress rehearsal," but I'm pretty sure it's the June 1988 video. There's no static across the screen or flickering or anything, but it's very dark and blotted-out from less obnoxious varieties of 1980s equipment+generation loss. Sound quality is serviceable.

​

​

Les Misérables - Vienna - 1989/1990

VOB (with smalls)ↈ

CAST: Reinhard Brussmann (Jean Valjean), Norbert Lamla (Javert), Christine Rothacker (Fantine), Morenike Fadayomi (Cosette), Felix Martin (Marius), Jane Comerford (Éponine), Uwe Kröger (Enjolras), Viktor Gernot (Thénardier), Susanne Altschul (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: The best Vienna video. Mostly B&W, occasional flickered coloring. Probably not a seizure trigger.

​

​

Les Misérables - Duisburg - August 29, 1998

MP4 (SD)ↈ

CAST: Sándor Sasvári (Jean Valjean), Drew Pulver (Javert), Birte Holmboe (Fantine), Petra Weidenbach (Cosette), Alexander di Capri (Marius), Milanie Sumalinog (Éponine), Christopher Morandi (Enjolras), Tom Zahner (Thénardier), Carin Filipčić (Madame Thénardier)

VOB (with smalls)ↈ

CAST: Thomas Borchert (Jean Valjean), Maya Hakvoort (Fantine), Michael Shawn Lewis (Marius), Lilian Marti (Cosette), Kaspar Holmboe, Reinhard Brussmann (Victor Hugo), Jacqueline Braun

​

NOT MY NOTES: Pro-shot TV recording of a one hour musical Gottesdienst with selections from the show performed in full costume at a church. The songs are The Bishop, Fantine's Death, A Heart Full of Love, Bring Him Home, and Valjean's Death. (me: What, no Lovely Ladies?)

​

MP4 (SD)ↈ

CAST: Charles Fornara, Hartwig Rudolz, Maya Hakvoort, Lilian Marti, Michael Shawn Lewis, Jacqueline Braun, Paul Donkers, Claus Dam, Kati Farkas, Dennis Dubbin

​

NOTES: Final Duisberg performance. Nicely done proshot, and not much generation loss!

​

​

Les Misérables - Bonn, Germany - July 4, 2003

VOB (with smalls) (SD)ↈ

CAST: Hardy Rudolz (Valjean), Mark Morouse (Javert), Susanna Panzner (Fantine), Julia Kamenik (Cosette), Axel Mendrok (Marius), Vera Bolten (Éponine), Mark Rosenthal (Enjolras), Tom Zahner (Thénardier), Heike Schmitz (Madame Thénardier), Laurenz Mitzam (Gavroche)

​

NOTES: This is the story of a production company that was a little too ambitious, a coupl​e of professional stars who were not paid enough, and a production that is somebody's fever dream trapped in an elementary school art fair.

​

​

Les Misérables - Berlin - September 19, 2003 (Highlights)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ↈ

CAST: Olegg Vynnyk (Jean Valjean), Uwe Kröger (Javert), Ann Christin Elverum (Fantine), Valerie Link (Cosette), Lucius Wolter (Marius), Vera Bolten (Éponine), Martin Pasching (Enjolras), Ulrich Wiggers (Thénardier), Heike Schmitz (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Dress rehearsal highlights and some miscellaneous footage. Includes At the End of the Day, Master of the House, On My Own, Stars, Bring Him Home, and One Day More.

​

​

Les Misérables - Berlin - 2004 (Highlights)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ↈ

CAST: Marc Clear (Jean Valjean), Chris Murray (Javert), Henriette Grawwert (Fantine), Lucius Wolter (Marius), Jana Stelley (Éponine), Christian Alexander Müller (Enjolras), Cusch Jung (Thénardier), Heike Schmitz (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Christ Murray-as-Javert focused highlights! He's amazing. Highlights include more or less Javert's presence in the show, and the video quality is A+. This is in the "even if you don't know German" category.

​

​

Les Misérables - Berlin - October 2004 (Highlights)

VOB (with smalls) ↈ

CAST: Olegg Vynnyk (Jean Valjean), Uwe Kröger (Javert)

​

FILE NOTES: One of the weird ones that comes as a whole bunch of .rar files, most of which have a corrupted first VOB but one of them has them all working.

​

NOTES: Another highlights video from Berlin focused mainly on Javert, this time Uwe Kröger, because Berlin Les Mis loves you. His rage during Stars probably compresses more emotion into that one song than the entire cast displays in the rest of the show. There is also one very non-Javert highlight from Master of the House included because...well, you'll see.

​

​

Les Misérables - Lüneburg, Germany - December 21, 2005 (Pro-Shot's master)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ↈ

CAST: Alexander di Capri (Jean Valjean), Ulrich Kratz (Javert), Petra Weidenbach (Fantine), Valerie Link (Cosette), Kristian Lucas (Marius), Stephanie Sturm (Éponine), Olaf Paschner (Enjolras), Uwe Salzmann (Thénardier), Kirsten Patt (Madame Thénardier)

​

NOTES: Non-replica; neat staging! The video is all right, great sound but mostly too far back to see very well. But oh. Oh, the overacting. The constant vibrato. The commitment. This is a completely brilliant performance. I love it.

​

​

Les Misérables - Tecklenburg - 2006 (Pro-Shot's master)

MP4 (SD) ↈ

CAST: Chris Murray (Valjean here), Marc Clear, Jana Werner, Barbara Köhler (Éponine)

​

NOTES: Multi-cam proshot. This is so much fun. Freilichtbühne Tecklenburg is an outdoor theatre with trees for most of the backdrop, and an evening show so the sun goes down over its course. The cast is mostly stunning, and the audio is perfect. Very, very worth it!

​

Les Misérables - Baden, Austria - 2007

MP4 (SD) ↈ

CAST: Darius Merstein-MacLeod (Jean Valjean), Chris Murray (Javert), Patricia Nessy (Fantine), Elisabeth Schwarz (Cosette), Zoltan Tombor (Marius), Nina Weiß (Éponine), Aris Sas (Enjolras), Gernot Kranner (Thénardier), Franziska Stanner (Madame Thénardier), Caroline Athanasiadis (Gavroche), Maria Weber (Little Cosette), Christoph Goetten (The Bishop)

​

NOTES: Decidedly non-replica show. This was definitely an interesting and controversial production (staging-wise). Very nice quality video!

​

​

Les Misérables - Lübeck, Germany - 2007 (Pro-Shot's master)

VOB (with smalls) (SD) ↈ

CAST: Thomas Christ (Jean Valjean), Steffen Kubach (Javert), Tamasz Dziecielki (Marius), Manfred Ohnoutka (Thénardier)

Les Misérables - Amsterdam, NL (Focus studio’s) - 2008

VOB (with smalls) - VLT, 3:1 ↈ

Cast: René van Kooten (Jean Valjean), Wim Van den Driessche (Javert), Nurlaila Karim (Fantine), Jamai Loman (Marius), Céline Purcell (Éponine), Suzan Seegers (Cosette), Freek Bartels (Enjolras), Carlo Boszhard (Thenardier), Marjolein Algera (Madame Thenardier)

 

NOT MY NOTES: ProShot. The first run through in the rehearsal studio, without set and costumes. It was made for the cast members of Les Misérables. Also includes some interviews with cast members. Trades as very limited, 3:1

​

MY NOTES: I cannot express how cool this is. You've got the women in whatever shirts but long skirts to get used to moving in them, and the men in track pants; they're in a sort of auditorium/gym with the roundtable and marking tape; it really is the full show acted out, to piano accompaniment. It gives you SO much respect for the actors creating that world in their minds. This is one of my favorites.
