I know it's nigh unto treason to love anyone but Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean, but I confess my favorite version of "Bring Him Home" was sung by Alfie Boe at the 25th Anniversary Concert.

Musical Love
We're a bit behind the times, but Joel and I finally saw the movie version of Les Miserables. It reminded me why it's my favorite musical of all-time. I was very impressed with the acting, and liked the perspective the movie brought. It made Fantine's fall more poignant and the life of the poor in France more vivid. It also made the reality and danger of the barricade more realistic. When it's on stage it is left more to the imagination, and the music is foremost in your mind.
