Mrs Thenardier looks like she's having the time of her life lmao I love that
Alun is funny and grungy and abhorrent and adorable and scary all wrapped into one. I have never seen another rendition of this character better played.
Yes, but he’s also an amazing actor in general. I loved the The Hollow Crown series so much and his character was quite different from Monsieur Thenadier.
The only other person who came close for me (but only in concert form) is Matt Lucas
Agreed
Alun Armstrong was, & will always be, the best Thenardier by a country mile.
he is a superb character actor....
Outstanding performance from Alun Armstrong
Wonderful performance.
Just oozes sleaze. What a performance.
Yeah, the others don't really seem to fit what I view as Thenardier. The 25th anniversary one made him seem halfway insane, and the movie one was only a pale imitation of this one.
Alun Armstrong is one of those truly rare things - an incredibly talented actor who is very underrated.
true professional be it theatre, TV or film. he is not underrated by those who have worked with him.
Is best
What about that look he gives here 4:08 while the misses sings… sassy. 😂
Yes he a fab actor. Very surprised at his singing. Top guy xx nice to share someone with taste x
I really don’t know why it isn’t ‘Sir’ Alun Armstrong
This is the best part of the whole play, and the actors are having so much fun in this scene!
Yup, this is the comic relief song before it gets depressing again.
I know people raved over Les Mes, but I didn't care for it at all.
It is a musical not a play
Love this scene. Hilarious..much needed levity, like the grave diggers' dialouge in Hamlet.
@@tijay8507 A musical *is* a play.
Not the *only* kind of play, of course.
A non-musical play is called a straight play.
They are both plays.
By the way I did actually major in theater. Just so you know.
Alun is so grimy in this performance! I can’t stop watching this! It’s fantastic!
This man is even acting with his eyebrows. Simply sublime
His performance of this role is the best
he created the role for the west end and broadway...
@@markdaly1903 now now, it's not about who did it first it's who did it best.........he just happens to be both
I've seen quite a few versions of this over the years, and this performance is just unbeatable.
Agreed
Exactly!
I saw the original on Broadway-the late, great Leo Burmeister. He was the best I’ve ever seen in the role.
@@AlisonPratt-vc3os Probably too early for there to be any recordings 😕
i am absolutely obsessed with jenny galloway's performance here
His facial expressions are excellent
I remember being shocked when I realized I recognized him from Braveheart. Exquisite professional in so many genres.
Alun Armstrong's performance of a lifetime.
His performance is unmatched..the pure glee in his villainy,plus the actor himself exultant in the role .. Armstrong!!!
The two kids were absolutely loving this
There will never be a better Master of the House than Alun Armstrong!
Agreed
These two are the best ever.
Alun makes this look easy, no wonder they repeat New Tricks all the time he's brilliant in that to.
I only just started watching New Tricks and kept thinking, “Where have I seen the guy who plays Brian before.” Then this popped back up in my TH-cam suggestions and I was blown away! What a fantastic actor.
@@jeffatuofl
I know..I'd seen Alun in some films then started watching New Tricks and the same thing happened to me...I didnt realise his theatre work was so good as well. I was watching Braveheart one night and he popped up in that and I was so happy. 😄
He is the most amazing. I can watch him all day and night 😁
One of his first films was Get Carter
@@jonathanlegg4308I only knew him from Les Mis and New Tricks and was shocked to see him turn up in The Mummy Returns playing an Arab! 😂
The 10th anniversary of Les Mis showed it had the dream cast the male lineup in particular Colm Philip Matthew Alum were just brilliant
Alun is one of the best english actors alive. A big fan from Finland.
The 2012 movie cannot hold a candle to the twisted charm of this performance.
Alun Armstrong, what can you say other than, Masterclass.
The brilliance of the performers overshadows how good the editing is on this. The way they cut back and forth betweek closeups is brilliant.
4:46 those trumpets are fantastic
Alun Armstrong is unique, adds quality to everything he is in
I grew up watching a lot of crime dramas including New Tricks, so I always knew Alun Armstrong was an excellent actor, but I never realised this was him until today! I've been watching this recording for years and all, and he just *becomes* Maitre Thénardier so seamlessly that I never recognised him. Also did not know he could sing, let alone this well!
My respect for this actor just keeps growing, it seems.
Like many British actors of his generation AA had a very solid grounding of working in theatre and learning his craft there as well as in a drama school. This is less and less of an option for younger actors, many of whom seem to create a stir on TV on the basis of one characterisation, but often can't seem to progress beyond that. But AA and his ilk developed and honed their abilities over and over before becoming "famous". He is really is splendid, isn't he?
Alun Armstrong is such a talented man he was brillant in Little Dorrit as well as New Tricks and in Les Mis
Yes mom and I loved❤ him in little Dorritt hope you saw him as a butler on Downton Abby. He is just the best thenerdier
Alun Armstrong..............Untouchable!!!
Seen this show so many times and alum Armstrong is unbeatable🤗. His wife too is the best. Fabulous 😂
Absolutely brilliant, I know actors have singing on the curriculum at stage school but I’d never have thought that Alun Armstrong was this good 👏👍
Alun is amazing!
Love this. Alun Armstrong is absolutely incredible. Regret never seeing him live.
Some roles just wait for the right person to come along and bring them life. These are two of those people.
This performance was a highlight of the show.
the 10th anniversary , i love it
Best ever. And all the cast of the. 25 anniversary. Don’t think they can better that. Vocally. So many people. Talented. On one stage. At one time. Priceless. I know it’s coming up. 40 th anniversary. There are many talented people out there. But. That 25 th anniversary takes some beating ❤
Saw him in this years ago in London and still remember it now. Nobody does it better 😂😂
This part got my daughter hooked on theatre
Great actor...talent that's kept him busy for 30+ years in many genres.
The definitive Master Thenadier - Alun Armstrong!!!
Best rendition of this number I've heard so far, excellent
Love how the whole cast gets involved. For such a sad play they look like they are having the best time.
I love how some of the other cast members (Ruthie and Lea at 3:34) are singing along.
Love these 2.. 💗
Alun is THE ONLY Mr. Thenardier in existence.
Sacha Baron Cohen says otherwise
I agree.. Alun is the best...
Alun is the best by a mile, but if I had to pick a number 2 it’s Matt Lucas
@@mightycawl2745 He was the worst ever!
@@davidthomas6679 Matt Lucas and Cameron Blakely are both brilliant!
Best performance of this by far. Hes brilliant.
LOVE Alun Armstrong!! 😍
And such fun in New Tricks‼️
Someone help me, please! I can't stop watching this! It's been almost 2 hours, and still every viewing feels like the first one. I fear for my life!
Edit: it's been a full month now. I thank everyone who sent food and water, but I'm starting to run out again! If this goes on much longer, please hold a Live Aid concert for me as it's my only hope.
I tried to send you some organic free-range chicken and fresh non-GMO spring vegetables. Unfortunately, I'm living in America and the compulsory melted Swiss cheese topping gunked up my fax machine. ...sigh.
@@gdj6298 You tried, and I appreciate that.
when I first read your comment I was "what a complete exageration" and yet it has been a week and I have fallen into the same trap... we are doomed...
Best performance ever!
Alun Armstrong fantastic character actor!
The best part I'd everyone is trying to serious but once Alun starts going,everyone is having such a time that pretty much from the beginning
Love it when the rest of the cast join in.
I could watch this a million times and still be thrilled!!! Thanks! xx
I love seeing the actors sitting qnd swaying to the beat, it looks they having a time of their life
They all seem to be having so much fun.
My grandparents went to see this show when my papa went stationed in London in 95 and they loved it and they just recently took me to see it in Philly and I loved it and it was the national tour
Brilliantly performed!!!! Bravo
Brilliant actor Allun Armstong. He's son's great too.
Alun armstrong is a fantastic actor especially in new tricks too hes a very clever man bless his cotton socks
I've watched 100 different renditions of this song by 100 different casts...and I grin from ear to ear every time I watch it.
Everyone involved has an absolute ball every time this song is played.
What a classic.
Stars and Master of the House are the best ones!
My favorite performance of this.
Touches of Klezmer/Jewish music in this number, I always think - especially on the line, "Seldom do you see..."
Love Alun Armstrong
Brilliant just one word.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much happy share 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ja så afgjort, Alun er den helt rigtige mr. Thenardier!
@darrenhaylock9942 - 100% agree, I was at this concert (3rd row left of center) Alun was absolutely BRILLIANT, as were the rest of the cast, Colm Wilkinson, Philip Quast as Javert among a cast of pure magic ... Sky Arts have aired the 25th Anniv' concert several times, WHY oh WHY can't they play this in full, surely someone could remaster it !!!!!
I like the movie performance but this, this is perfect.
I love this version
Saw this years ago. Just the best x
@@barbararodgers9599 cool!!!!
Alun Armstrong and Jenny Galloway are the best Mr. and Mrs. Thenardier in my opinion.
Why nobody talks about how the Madame Tenardier awesome in 10th anniversary concert is?
Every1 is awesome and incredible in this production!
But, of course, i guess they had dozens of ppl auditioned for each charachter, and then picked the best...
She is indeed, both really, i can´t see another Thenardier couple doing this, as i can´t see another Jean ValJean that is not Colm WIlkinson, dont know i think they did a great job picking up the best performer for each character,
I first saw Alum in New Tricks. There was a show were the men were investigating a theatre about an old murder. Alum gets on stage to speak to the director. They are auditioning for a play . The offstage voice keeps saying do your piece " audition," or get off the stage. Alum looks down at the floor then looks up and does the to be or not to be speech. He was magnificent. I thinking he can act forgetting he was an actor.
@@barbaraking6364 ALAN!
This looks SO much fun to play!
No one does Musicals and Rock better than the British. 🇬🇧♥️😎
My kids are 5 and 3...they both love love love love this.
Its amazing. .
they shall carry the mantle of appreciation into the next century
The BEST
Also appeared in get carter as micheal caines mate ..
He is a real artist!
The intro starts to play, and I’m like
“I admit that in the past I have been nasty…”
Some people may have called me well a witch.
“But you’ll find that nowadays, I’ve mended all my ways”
I saw the original cast in London 1986 they were the best cast to have played Les Miserable
Alun is, superb, simply the best.
The talented Jenny Galloway @ 3:44 sec.
In my opinion, the 10th anniversary version was the best version. Not only with the singing but the acting and character selection. ❤😊
Have watched this most brilliant musical ever over the years.
Philip Quast is the only person for this role.
I was lucky enough to see him at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival before Covid
He sang just as magnificently then as ever before
Absoflippinlutey brilliant, well worth the tmesis!
Awesome!❤️👍
Yes It Is 😊
Absolutely, the best!
He is perfect for part
Starts to sing a long, and yes,i am the Master of my House.
Brilliant
This number didn't look like a regular line up of the musical concert but a special intermission. It's so entertaining.
The first time I attended Les Lis Thernadier sauntered on stage and I thought I know him, who is he ? It was quite some time before I realised it was Alun Armstrong ! What an actor.
He is the best Thénardier
Earthy, just earthy. Both! The best!
The best
Those two kill me!
This is art
This is the much needed comic relief in the show. The Thenardiers are the villainous couple you love to hate.
Best bar song in town
Iconic.
Die zwei sind die besten!
BRAVO!!
