It also has to be mentioned that at the end there is a short surprise performance, which adds to the feeling of celebration of this great musical. Some of the cast members may not be the best in the world, but their faults are less visible thanks to the rest of the actors doing a truly magnificent job. All in all, the show is a great spectacle that is a pleasure to watch. Sadly, in Nick Jonas' case it is visible that he isn't really an actor and that he was probably cast because of his name rather than his skills. They are alright, but it isn't the quality one would expect to see on such a great occasion. My biggest problem is the youngest cast members: Katie Hall, Samantha Barks, and Nick Jonas, whose performances lack the necessary spark. Norm Lewis as Javert may not be the best ever, but his performance is really solid nonetheless and he does a great job conveying the character's firm belief in the law. Matt Lucas and Jenny Galloway as Thenardiers are hilarious. Ramin Karimloo as Enjolras is super charismatic and absolutely believable as a leader of an uprising. Lea Salonga as Fantine is as moving as can be expected from the musical legend that she is. Alfie Boe as Valjean does a great job underlining the solemnity of the character and his version of "Bring Him Home" is the best performance of the whole show. Some performances are deeply moving while others are mediocre.

Listen to trailer music, OST, original score, and the full list of popular songs in the film. The cast gathered for the celebration is quite uneven. Find all 45 songs in Les Misrables Soundtrack, with scene descriptions.
The spectacle that was created is truly epic and I found with pleasure that this time (unlike with the 10th anniversary concert) the musical wasn't really abridged, as only a few parts were cut. Seeing the crowds filling the O2 arena is also a part of the experience of watching the anniversary. Of course, it can always be argued that staging the show as a concert will never fully do it justice, but in my opinion, such a decision helps to appreciate the scale of what Les Mis has become. For nice people, it gives inspiration to be nice.Seeing its never-ending popularity and its influence on the musical theatre, the 25th anniversary of Les Misérables had to be spectacular. For judgmental people, it's an excuse to be judgmental. We learn in Les Misérables that religion is whatever people make of it. In Les Misérables, Victor Hugo shows us that religion is one of the only things that can save us from the crushing power of greed.
What role does religion play in making Jean Valjean a better person? Do you think he'd still be the same guy without religion in his life? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.Do you agree with the government official who tells Bishop Myriel that religion is just for poor people with no sense of hope other than their faith in God? Why or why not?.Do you think religion helps give a sense of redemption for all the suffering that characters in this book endure, or is it just an empty comfort?.Can you guess which side Les Misérables is on? In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter.
On the other hand, you could say that the world is full of suffering and therefore we all need to get religion, believe firmly in God and heaven, and know that all of our suffering will be paid back in full-as long as we live good lives, helping the less fortunate and always acting morally. With Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried. Now, you could certainly take this undeniable fact and run with it, saying that the existence of suffering is proof either that God doesn't exist or that God does exist and he's not actually all that good. Also fact: sometimes the people who suffer are harmless, like Fantine, or innocent, like Cosette.
