Customer Rating: Summary: Emotional mess Comment: For about the past 15 years i have been a fan of Les Miserables. I have been in the Military for ten years and this musical keeps my sanity straight when i listen to it every so often. I have seen the play and received the dvd concert with digital surround (dts) released by WELL GO USA that my fiance got me, that has two separate disc a part 1 and 2 with no english subtitles. Then my fiance and i were ecstatic to find that there was a new dvd with the concert in one disc, which includes interviews of how it was made. I was sold and my fiance wanted a copy and so we got one online. After receiving it and finally had time to enjoy the concert in one dvd without interruption, i found that there was a screw up between 25 and 26 on act two when Gavroche sings Little People. The screw up was already mentioned on the other reviews so let me tell you how it ruined my night. First i was going to break the dvd i felt like why would somebody do such a thing. For something that well known of a musical ,how can someone get so careless and miss a whole part of it. The little boy Gavroche is one of my favorites too. Second this disappointment caused me irritation through the nite that i couldn't sleep. I had a feeling of discomfort, i guess after years of being in the military you get used to a life expectancy that when something goes wrong it interrupts my way of thinking and how i feel. Third i hope i get what is right in return to get the revised dvd and if not compensate me for this emotional mess i had to go through. Customer Rating: Summary: Where are the subtitles? Comment: I bought the DVD of "Les Mis" to replace a taped version. I am completely satisfied with the DVD except for the fact that, unlike the tape, the DVD has no subtitles to describe the events of the story being depicted by the music. For anyone who has not read the book or seen the actual musical, the subtitles are necessary to completely follow the story. Customer Rating: Summary: Les Miserables is incroyable! Comment: This is the definitive version of the incredible stage production of Les Miserables. With all those amazing voices, particularly Michael Ball, it's a must-have for any fan of this show. The ending, with the many Jean Valjeans from around the world singing in their own tongue, is truly spectacular.
Customer Rating: Summary: A Five Star Must Comment: I remember seeing this as a PBS special a few years ago, and I really enjoyed it. Recently I saw some snippets of it on You Tube, and decided to buy a copy. It was money well spent. The music is fantastic, the voices send a chill through the body. I could watch and listen to this over and over, and never tire of it. I really enjoyed the novel that it was based on. Pure entertainment! Customer Rating: Summary: Extremely satisfying Comment: I've always loved this score, and have not been a fan of the Trevor Nunn staging, so this is the perfect performance type for me. The best of the best. Can't wait for the Royal Albert Hall staged concert of CHESS coming next year for the same reasons...
