Les Miserables in Concert (1996)

Musical. Here is the "dream team" with a vast choral cast in a nearly flawless concert presentation of the world's best-loved musical, lyrically and compositionally more complex than The Phantom of the Opera (fewer catchy tunes but more impressive, indeed nearly operatic). The Thenardines are well-played as opportunists (to be kind), Valjean is staunch, Cosette is luminous and Javert is awesome. 5 stars.
