Comment on 3* REVIEW Les Miserables The Concert 2019 Alfie Boe by Simon Jones

Simon Jones — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 14:46:51 +0000

The band was superb – a 12 piece brass section!

Ball was overblown and I think he plays Javert clumsily by now, as if he has forgotten how to sing it, not what to sing.

Lucas was characterful and player it well, in spite of the audience treating him like a superstar!

Owen-Jones was very good – it’s his part. His singing is not always easy to listen to.

The ladies were well voiced and lovely, though on the stage can you really hit the desperation and depravity of the dockside?

Chorus? Intense, and what holds the principal roles together. With them in full voice and the band off the leash, the effect was amazing.

Staging and lighting was West End standard – no expense spared. And the staging and direction, of the barricades for instance, was provocative and well done.

I was thrilled with it. For £30 the only real restriction to view was the top staging where the band sat. Wonderful experience.

Tickets are now £210+, and for that I would expect a lot more.

Finally, at £7 for a large glass of dry white, I was impressed by the value of the catering and merch!

I haven’t yet seen the concert, going next month, but I have to taken exception at Javert being labelled as a baddy! He is not the baddy, yes he is Valjean’s nemesis, but that doesn’t make him a villain, he is doing what he believes to be right. If you want a baddy that is clearly Thenardier.

Thank Alex but I won’t be seeing it at £320 for both of us we can go away hit a weekend. The prices have got ridiculous for the shows and unless we can get seats through Leicester Square it won’t be happening. Maybe they will do a show to be screened in cinemas which seems to be happening more often. Great review though!

Couldn’t possibly disagree more… A phenomenal production. Inspired staging, that doesn’t distract from the beautiful performances and seemlessly moves from scene to scene.

Agree with every word – Alex is phenomenal and only a matter of time before Broadway or Hollywood beckon!!
Best musical ever and that’s not only because of the score but Alexandra’s superb vocals, dancing and acting plus a great cast too.
Miss is at your peril!

Alexandra Burke is a natural phenomenon. Her voice is so natural, strong, powerful and yet angelic. When I went to see The Bodyguard at The Mayflower last week I was blown away by her talent as an actress too. If you get the chance to go and see and amazing woman so her and actress, an amazing show with a very talented cast, don’t hesitate as you will not be disappointed.
