That's good to know, and I'd love to have it, but $50 is way above my price range. However, maybe this means they'll put out a Region A version in the US eventually. I can't imagine what the delay is, but I hope so. I don't want to import often enough. The only other one I have imported...

My copy of the Blu-ray arrived from the UK yesterday. It says right on the back that it is coded for "B," so I can second Mike's earlier confirmation unfortunately. For anyone interested, the CD cast album version of the same concert came out yesterday too, and that one did get a United States...

The recent revival is a full production including sets and costumes, but it does make use of some projections which are quite nice. Many of those projections are culled from actual paintings that were created by Victor Hugo, which adds another layer of connectivity to its source material. It...

Broadway will be back. However, Les Miserables is not currently planned to play Broadway. Prior to the shutdown, it was (and will be again whenever possible) on a national tour. The original staging from 1985 closed in London last summer and was replaced with the different 25th Anniversary...

I just got shipping confirmation for the album from Amazon. The delivery date is listed as Friday, which is the release date, but it is highly unusual for it to ship on Tuesday if it won't arrive until then. As is usually the case with deliveries to me, it is being shipped by Amazon's own...

Thanks. Nope, I only have a DVD drive. I do technically have a HD version of this because I bought the streaming version back in August. So I can still watch it. I just prefer the permanence of physical media ownership.

Even though a Region 1/A release of the concert on Blu-ray or even DVD does not seem to be forthcoming, a reminder to anyone interested that the U.S. will be getting a release of the concert on CD as a live cast album which will be released on Friday. Amazon just authorized my card for that, so...

That's too bad, but I appreciate the information. Since I won't be able to play the disc, I have requested and been granted a refund from Amazon UK. At least there's that. But I would rather have a copy I can play than a refund. Oh well. It seems strange to me that this received a United...

I wanted to bump this thread to remind anyone who might be interested in buying it that the physical Blu-ray and DVD releases of this concert were released this week in the UK on Monday, November 2. It is my understanding that the Blu-ray version is region free. Although I don't personally...

2020 won't stop sucking. Herbert Kretzmer passed away at age 95. He of course wrote the English lyrics for Les Miserables. https://www.playbill.com/article/les-miserables-lyricist-herbert-kretzmer-dies-at-95

Well, the surprises just keep coming this week. The cast of the concert reunited on Britain's Got Talent, along with the West End casts of The Phantom of the Opera and Mary Poppins, to perform a medley. Oh, and they also announced a six-week return engagement of the concert, in person, over...

First of all, today, October 8, is the 35th anniversary of the opening of the original London production of Les Miserables. Happy birthday to it. Edit: I wrote yesterday that pre-orders went live for the cast album (audio CD version) of the concert in the UK, which is being released on...

Spoilers below for anyone who has never seen any version of Les Miserables before. That being said, it seems like everyone who has participated this thread thus far knows the show, so I'm not going to put this entire post in spoiler brackets. If you have no experience with Les Mis already...

Right. It's going to come back and they will pick up right where they left off whenever that can happen. But I don't think it was about consecutive performances for Mackintosh so much as the loss of revenue that would have come if the show was not available last fall, and yet now, he's losing...

Except for the cuts to the score, I love the 10th anniversary concert. (Why isn't there a Blu-ray of that?) With the exception of Nick Jonas, I love the 25th anniversary concert. Norm Lewis as Javert...I mean...holy shit. Wow. And I love the movie too, which I think actually makes some...

I would advise at least a rental of this one if you're a big fan. The opportunity to see Michael Ball return to Les Mis after 34 years now playing Javert is worth the price of admission by itself. Also, this one is filmed in a smaller theatre of about 1000 seats, so it feels much more intimate...

Just a reminder for anyone who can't wait until November for the import Blu-ray that today is the release of Les Miserables: The Staged Concert on digital platforms in the United States. I just bought it. It's too late at night here to watch the whole thing now, so I'm going to do that...

Were you able to charge that pre-order in USD? In the past, they haven't been able to charge my card in US dollars until after the item is in-stock. So while I will definitely get it, I might wait until November to order, which seems easier than dealing with currency conversion.

Announced on Les Miserables social media, the concert will be available digitally in North America on August 4. There has been no announcement yet in regards to a North American Blu-ray release. As of now, Amazon UK is still showing November 2 for their Blu-ray version which is supposed to be...

It's a shame that the release appears to be excluding the United States, as was also the case with the Blu-ray release of Miss Saigon. I guess I'll have to wait until November to import the Blu-ray.

You've probably heard her as the singing voice of Pocahontas without realizing it was her. Since Pocahontas is a Disney movie, she has probably reached more people with that project than her theater appearances put together. Some of her other great work besides Les Mis: Pocahontas: Fun...

Well, Kuhn was the original adult Cosette, which, even though I love the show, is underwritten relative to the other principal roles. That's maybe why you didn't associate her with it as much. She also played the role in the 10th anniversary concert which I'm pretty sure you own.

On a related note, members of the original Broadway company of Les Miserables had a virtual reunion today for Stars in the House, the fundraiser series for The Actors Fund in the time of this crazy pandemic. It's free to watch but includes requests for donations.

Apparently the concert will be streaming this week somewhere. The article isn't really very specific: http://filmedonstage.com/news/120-west-ends-les-misérables-will-be-released-for-streaming-this-week-for-charity/ The Blu-ray had been set for release tomorrow, but is now set for November 2...

The UK edition of the Blu-ray, which is listed as being region-free, had previously set a release date of April 6 and then April 20. Amazon UK now lists a new street date of November 2, which is a significant delay. I assume this must have something to do with the coronavirus affecting disc...

For anyone who is curious, here is a walk through video which shows what the Sondheim Theatre (where the new production of Les Mis in London is now playing) looks like following its restoration. The concert version was designed to keep the show running while the former Queen's Theatre was...

The UK Blu-ray release has been set for April 6, 2020. No announcement yet for the U.S. as far as I know, but I would hope it's around the same time. http://filmedonstage.com/news/60-les-miserables-the-staged-concert-out-on-dvdbluray-april-6th-2020/

For anyone who might have missed it on Sunday, a reminder that tonight (December 11) is the final screening of the concert in theaters.

No, they didn't edit it out. That's impossible because the clip you posted is from a different performance. The final performance of the concert, which was added to the run for the purposes of filming it, took place on December 2. November 30 was the final date scheduled before they decided to...

Ramin Karimloo. And before him, in the 10th anniversary, Enjoras was played by Michael Maguire.
