I would love to see John sing in person, I would be the happiest person on the planet. What an incredibly talented man, he is my favorite tenor, actor entertainer. The whole stage was electrifying with such wonderful singers . JOJ I love you.
just found this ! listening n knowing what Ruthie had been thru to hve this courage n strenght to be a part of this performance...brought tears ... to hve lost her sister so soon n go on stage.....
They're all fantastic. Michael Ball just broke my heart a little ... he looks so much older than I'm used to ... oh dear ... his voice is still top-notch, though. But John Owen Jones is definitely all there. He's an amazing singer. I know he played Enjolras once, and, as amazingspectacular as he is as Valjean, he's a PERFECT Enjolras (a strong tenor, unreasonably good looking).
you're welcome! she was Fantine in 10th anniversary and did a lot of other roles, she's awesome! (there's also a great version of miss saigon's last night of the earth by her and JOJ, if you're interested...)
terfel outsings the lot of them! most baritones singing that second javert part get completely drowned out, but i love how dynamic this sounds in his vocal range! go bryn!
The one on the left(short dark hair) is Ruthie Hensall very well known in musical theatre, the red head is Connie Fisher who came to fame winning the BBC TV show 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria', when ALW was searching for a Maria for a new stage version of The Sound Of Music
Quando o Bryn começa a cantar, o coração chega perde o compasso. JOJ e Bryn Terfel são os amores da minha vida, não estou conseguindo lidar com eles dois no mesmo palco.
I wish JOJ was in the movie but he was already committed to touring with the Phantom of the Opera while they were filming the movie. He was asked if he wanted to be in the movie but he had to say no :/
*laughs hysterically* Oh my gosh, that would be sooo funny. I'm honestly picturing that right now and, once I get past the fact that OH MY GOD John Owen Jones and Michael Ball circa 1992 are on the SAME STAGE SINGING in this wonderful vision, I'm laughing ridiculously hard ...
I guess it depends if you can work it off. I played Riff Raff (from the Rocky Horror Show) in our schools show (we were taking characters from different plays and using them together) and that is probably one of the best roles going to keep you healthy XD
request it to your schools drama department (if you're in america it may be called something different) but request it to whoever is incharge of acting or music etc.
@LuciF9 You didnt need to say that. We were already thinking it..........John Owen Jones is awesomeness with dabs of cool and smothered in epic..........in a really cool bag with shoes and a top hat singing every song from les miserables.
JOJ may only be know to Phantom and Mis fans but he is the best singer there. He was playing two parts and while the others made a mess of the middle he managed to hold it together. Did it sound slower then normal to anyone else though?
Oh it was brilliant, it wasnt as much as singing as it was acting and hwo the characters react to each other but we did get to sing. Having Javert from Les Mis duet the time warp with Riff Raff was pretty damn cool
I don't know who the other girl is - Valjean is John Owen Jones, Cosette is Connie Fisher and Javert is Bryn Terfal! It's a mostly Welsh cast it seems!
Yeah. I mean, usually when you look at Michael you see a ... really really physically stunning man. But he's pushing 45 now, yes? We can't expect him to look like adorable li'l Marius forever. And his voice is gorgeous.
yes he is i love him so much he's lovely!! don't get to see him a lot tho it sucks... i did see les mis tho and i do agree he was sooooo sexy!!!! and he doesn't even realise it bless... shame he's leaving les mis in june/july it really is!
Michael Ball is an amazing talent no matter his size. What a voice!! And he is STILL SO handsome!! A national treasure, and seems to be a genuinely nice guy. JOJ is FABULOUS!!
John Owen Jones goes straight from "will you take you place with me" to "One Day More" and makes it sound so easy. Amazing man.
Michael Ball's voice is sooo sweet. And JOJ...WONDERFUL
I would love to see John sing in person, I would be the happiest person on the planet. What an incredibly talented man, he is my favorite tenor, actor entertainer. The whole stage was electrifying with such wonderful singers . JOJ I love you.
John is singing at Broadway now
I've seen him in Phantom twice. He's amazing, and has totally ruined me for any other Phantom lol
I saw him do this live. Now it’s hard to imagine anyone else as Valjean.
Patricia Harman I've had the privilege to see him as Phantom... unforgettable and incomparable
@@Yeesha0000ramin laughing in the corner
John should have been in the film!!
Elizabeth Ohlmuller Jackman can sell more tickets.
Agreed!
Agreed He is a far better singer than Jackman
Agreed . In phantom and Les Miserables
@Lang Xing Didn’t have to play JVJ, he could’ve been a side character or even just a cameo, much like Hadley Fraser in the film.
hearing JOJ sing as enjolras was breathtaking tbh
John Owen Jones is flawless and effortless! Amazing talent! A gem!
just found this ! listening n knowing what Ruthie had been thru to hve this courage n strenght to be a part of this performance...brought tears ... to hve lost her sister so soon n go on stage.....
This song always gives me goosebumps!
Is that Michael Ball and John Owen Jones?? My favourite Valjean and Marius together.
Agreed...what a combination.❤
Amazing hoping to see the Concert this Year John Owen Jones as John Val Jean and Michael Ball as Javert .
Les Miserables The Staged Concert at the Gielgud Theatre in London
I saw this live and this gave me goosebumps! a brilliant song to end a night of glorious musical theatre!
john owen jones is and always will be the best jean valjean
JOJ'S ENJOLRAS IS AMAZING OMG
I just found this!!! It was absolutely awesome!!! Thank you for sharing it. ❤️
Michael Ball... The eternal Marius!!! XDD
I love him
I love Michael Ball as Marius! The best ever!
He played the 25th Anniversary touring cast :) I went to go and see it. It was phenomenal
They're all fantastic.
Michael Ball just broke my heart a little ... he looks so much older than I'm used to ... oh dear ... his voice is still top-notch, though.
But John Owen Jones is definitely all there. He's an amazing singer. I know he played Enjolras once, and, as amazingspectacular as he is as Valjean, he's a PERFECT Enjolras (a strong tenor, unreasonably good looking).
Four great Welsh voices and one Great English one! I just wish JOJ could have done the film! He'd have been so much better than Jackman!
I was thinking the same. Long may Wales continue to be known as `The land of song`.
And he's gorgeous...!
my two idols on the stage at the same time, John Owen Jones AND Bryn Terfel...brilliant!
Thank you! I've been racking my brains trying to think!
you're welcome! she was Fantine in 10th anniversary and did a lot of other roles, she's awesome! (there's also a great version of miss saigon's last night of the earth by her and JOJ, if you're interested...)
Michael, Bryn, and JOJ in one song 😍
terfel outsings the lot of them! most baritones singing that second javert part get completely drowned out, but i love how dynamic this sounds in his vocal range! go bryn!
Agreed … good point…. Most do get drowned out
The one on the left(short dark hair) is Ruthie Hensall very well known in musical theatre, the red head is Connie Fisher who came to fame winning the BBC TV show 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria', when ALW was searching for a Maria for a new stage version of The Sound Of Music
wow what a line up of phenomenal welsh talent ...and what a majestic snowdonia backdrop
JOJ is just soooo amazing!!!!!! Fabulous!!
Oh my god he is the best Enjolras ever!
Love this group.
john owen jones and michael ball are the best there
Enjoyed this video! All the best!!
i love how after michael sings "do i follow where she goes" the camera is on john
your right, i saw him in london, he is amazing
I am IN LOVE with JOJ. Okay, not in love with, but I adore him. He is amazing. Above amazing. Beyond fantastic.
Simply the best !
Quando o Bryn começa a cantar, o coração chega perde o compasso. JOJ e Bryn Terfel são os amores da minha vida, não estou conseguindo lidar com eles dois no mesmo palco.
This OSOME. Love this clip!!
Spectacular!
At last a video featuring my two favourite West End stars, JOJ and Michael Ball.
It would have been just perfect if you could have added the third the income parable Colm Wilkinson
really!! wow i'm glad you think that he's a friend of mine!! and i fancy him too hehe glad you liked him :)
JOJ and Michael Ball! To see them in a musical together would be bliss!
thanks
I wish JOJ was in the movie but he was already committed to touring with the Phantom of the Opera while they were filming the movie. He was asked if he wanted to be in the movie but he had to say no :/
He would have outshined all the others. The others are Hollywood actors who struggle to sing - JOJ is singing in perfection!!!!
Bryn singing my favourite part - if I'm in the car I always sing the part of Javert.
rhunl he has a great voice
*laughs hysterically* Oh my gosh, that would be sooo funny. I'm honestly picturing that right now and, once I get past the fact that OH MY GOD John Owen Jones and Michael Ball circa 1992 are on the SAME STAGE SINGING in this wonderful vision, I'm laughing ridiculously hard ...
Yes, it's exactly what he did. I love him as Enjolras!
@ManBig4 i saw in play valjean in edinburgh and he was just so amazing, cried at the end because he played the character so well
Welsh talent, right there
I guess it depends if you can work it off.
I played Riff Raff (from the Rocky Horror Show) in our schools show (we were taking characters from different plays and using them together) and that is probably one of the best roles going to keep you healthy XD
@ellz1020 Ruthie Henshall, she played Fantine in the TAC as well as many other west end roles
@FallingUpStairsDPK He was the Enjolras is 1997, there's audio. he sounded really different!
... wow. :) Wow!
Haha don't you love it, right before he sings "These men who seem to know my crime" and does the eyebrow thing? Haha it makes me giggle.
John would have been far better than hugh jackman to play jvj seen him 5vtimes in phanton fabulous voice
The best
gary watson is my hero and idol.. he is absolutely outstanding i love him so much!
request it to your schools drama department (if you're in america it may be called something different) but request it to whoever is incharge of acting or music etc.
bryn terfel as JAVERT!!! are my eyes seeing this!!!!....wow....never thought id see this
Connie Fisher!!!!!!!! She is AMAZING! I Saw her at the Bristol Hippodrome as Maria!
Amen to that =]
I'm totally in love with him..
Loving that the majority of the cast are Welsh!
HELL YES ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
best one!!
Michael and JOJ in one show together..... Love
@LuciF9 You didnt need to say that. We were already thinking it..........John Owen Jones is awesomeness with dabs of cool and smothered in epic..........in a really cool bag with shoes and a top hat singing every song from les miserables.
Yes she is!
Is this available on DVD? John and Michael together... wonderful!!!
@javertify It's Bryn Terfel, a famous Welsh tenor.
@Blofeld67 Actually Terfel is bass-baritone
Michael Ball as Marius and JOJ as both Enjolras and Valjean...OMNOMNOMNOMNOM! x
@LuciF9 Most ppl that play Enjolras end up as JVJ later on. I didnt know JOJ also had played Enjolras before tho.
JOJ as valjean AND enjorlas? my god, he's a god!
Opened this to see JOJ and got the extra treat of Ruthie! Not her best performance but everyone's allowed an off day.
John Owen-Jones - Valjean and Enjolras
Michael Ball - Marius
Connie Fisher - Cosette
Ruthie Henshall - Eponine
Bryn Terfel - Javert
Good Lord... Bryn Terfel, Ruthie Henshall, Michael Ball, Connie Fisher and John Owen Jones. How often do you see a line-up like that!
JOJ may only be know to Phantom and Mis fans but he is the best singer there. He was playing two parts and while the others made a mess of the middle he managed to hold it together. Did it sound slower then normal to anyone else though?
Has JOJ ever played Enjorlas before?
I heard he had played Enjolras when he was much younger. His voice is the best for Enjolras.
Oh it was brilliant, it wasnt as much as singing as it was acting and hwo the characters react to each other but we did get to sing. Having Javert from Les Mis duet the time warp with Riff Raff was pretty damn cool
Mr Owen-Jones, fantastic as usual. Michael makes it look so effortless, I think the bit of extra weight sort of suits him?
he bears a slight resemblance to edward norton. brilliant performance. he's also my favorite phantom
FUCK!! JOJ CAN DO NO WRONG!!
@killercroc3493 The tempo is fine! I love the guy who sang the role of Javert - he's a real opera singer! :)
@FallingUpStairsDPK I agree, he would be fantastic!
Is that Bryn Terfel as Javert?
Yes.
I don't know who the other girl is - Valjean is John Owen Jones, Cosette is Connie Fisher and Javert is Bryn Terfal! It's a mostly Welsh cast it seems!
Javert is Bryn Terfel, a famous welsh opera singer.. I'm not sure on Cossette
He did put a LOT of weight on to play Edna Turnblad in hairspray, I saw him in it on Tuesday and he was fantastic.
JOJ here!
Yeah. I mean, usually when you look at Michael you see a ... really really physically stunning man. But he's pushing 45 now, yes? We can't expect him to look like adorable li'l Marius forever. And his voice is gorgeous.
Cool, Ruthie Henshall!
Wow, I didn't know JOJ was still doing it.
Bryn Terfel would be one of the best javerts tbh
yes he is i love him so much he's lovely!! don't get to see him a lot tho it sucks... i did see les mis tho and i do agree he was sooooo sexy!!!! and he doesn't even realise it bless... shame he's leaving les mis in june/july it really is!
@RaWrZzZz I was thinking the same thing.....must be her then! She's the best ever!
...JOJ playing Valjean AND Enjolras, with Bryn Terfel as Javert? Hahahaa, so much joy XD
i love bryn terfel
Michael Ball is an amazing talent no matter his size. What a voice!! And he is STILL SO handsome!! A national treasure, and seems to be a genuinely nice guy. JOJ is FABULOUS!!
@Macrogue65 Michael was putting weight on for his part in Hairspray!
Great rendition, and Bryn Terfel is HUGE! The rest looks like children in size.
Terfel
