#25th anniversary les miserables cast cd driver

The haunting voice and the video close ups of Fantine allowed us to see and feel the extraordinary emotional integrity that Lea Salonga brought to the role. After opening in the role for the Broadway revival of the show in 2006, Norm is now playing opposite Simon BowmanвЂ™s Jean Valjean at the QueenвЂ™s theatre in London. He was well partnered by an impressive Javert in Norm Lewis, whose rich vocals and impassioned performance made Stars and JavertвЂ™s Suicide quite unforgettable. His Bring Him Home stopped the show вЂ“ literally вЂ“ with a tumultuous standing ovation. I have never before liked opera singers singing musical theatre songs, but Alfie Boe sang in a true musical theatre way, just letting rip at significant moments with glorious operatic oomph to phenomenal effect. The emotionally charged audience greeted each new performer with rapturous applause and cheering and none more so than Alfie Boe. Three massive LED screens above the stage not only showed the featured performers but also the richly atmospheric projections used in the tour, and never to greater effect than in the cavernous sewer scene. The set had the epic proportions necessary for all 500 actors and musicians to be accommodated on stage at the same time and it was cleverly informed by both John NapierвЂ™s iconic original design and Matt KinleyвЂ™s design for the 25th Anniversary touring production.

The split level set with the superb 50 piece orchestra clearly visible above, and the various, huge stairways and multiple other entrance ways allowed it to be more like a fully costumed, theatre staging whereby performers could enter and exit as their roles demanded instead of being seated on stage awaiting their turn. The staging, in fact, ensured that it was rather more than a concert. This was to be the concert of all concerts for any Les Mis fan, with uber-spectacular, epic staging and lighting and a cast to die for. A buzz of excitement and anticipation rippled through the massive arena audience as the first familiar, pounding notes electrified the air. Darrell Waltrip, Richard Petty and Earnhardt's car owner Richard Childress all speaking with a candor and emotion never expressed before.We all knew Sunday 3rd October 2010 would be an evening we would remember for the rest of our lives but not one of us could have imagined just how utterly extraordinary it would be. The film features interviews with Michael Waltrip. Triumph becomes tragedy as Earnhardt dies helping his friend on the final lap - creating an emotional debt that is paid back in spectacular and emotional fashion on Waltrip's emotionally-charged return to Daytona, and a race to the finish with Dale's son, Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

The engrossing, fast-paced story tracks Michael's development and years of frustration, turmoil and crashes up to his unlikely friendship with Earnhardt and into the fateful running of the Daytona 500 at the inception of the 2001 season, Michael Waltrip broke his record-breaking 462-race losing streak in epic, but heart-breaking fashion.
