Let's be honest: I'll be buying this Blu-ray soon.
I've seen the musical three times live, and each time it was spectacular. (I love Eponine!) Watched this concert DVD with my French class (hey, it's based on the novel by that French guy...) and about half the class really enjoyed it. (I'm happy for that, truly.)
Alfie Boe is amazing as Jean Valjean (Youtube him singing the song "Bring Him Home"), Lea Salonga is the best Fantine ever (!!!!!1!), Ramin Karimloo is a wonderfully swarthy Enjolras, Norm Lewis is a terrific Javert, and even Nick Jonas impresses as the naïf Marius. I've had a variety of the songs stuck in my head for days. This is a good thing.
