Description: This is a rare advertising card promoting the 25th Anniversary Concert of the groundbreaking ALAIN BOUBLIL and CLAUDE-MICHEL SCHONBERG musical "LES MISERABLES" at the O2 Arena in London on October 3rd, 2010. (The London production, now the longest-running musical in West End history, opened at the Barbican Centre on September 28th, 1985, moved to the Palace Theatre on December 4th, 1985, then transferred to the Queen's Theatre on April 1st, 2004 where it is still playing.) ..... Based on the VICTOR HUGO classic, the 25th Anniversary Cast included ALFIE BOE as "Jean Valjean", NORM LEWIS as "Javert", LEA SALONGA as "Fantine", NICK JONAS as "Marius", KATIE HALL as "Cosette", RAMIN KARIMLOO as "Enjolras", SAMANTHA BARKS as "Eponine", MIA JENKINS as "Young Cosette," ROBERT MADGE as "Gavroche", MATT LUCAS and JENNY GALLOWAY as the "Thenardiers" and Earl Carpenter EARL CARPENTER as the "Bishop of Digne". Casts of the current London, International Tour, and Original 1985 London productions took part, comprising an ensemble of three hundred performers and musicians. The orchestra was conducted by DAVID CHARLES ABELL, who also conducted the 10th Anniversary performance in Royal Albert Hall in 1995. For the encore, four "Jean Valjeans" sang "Bring Him Home": COLM WILKINSON from the Original London Cast, JOHN OWEN-JONES from the 25th Anniversary touring production, SIMON BOWMAN from the current London Cast, and ALFIE BOE, who sang the role in the concert. The Original 1985 Cast (excluding David Burt, who had played "Enjolras" who states he can no longer sing the part and Patti LuPone who originated "Fantine" but was not in attendance) then led the ensemble in a performance of "One Day More". After speeches from CAMERON MACKINTOSH, ALAIN BOUBLIL and CLAUDE-MICHEL SCHONBERG, the performance concluded with students from school productions of Les Misérables entering the arena through the audience and joining the casts for "The Finale". The evening concert was shown live in cinemas across the United Kingdom, Ireland and around the world. The end credits of the concert confirmed a film adaptation of the stage musical for 2012 release. (Wikipedia) .....
