Yes. Colm Wilkinson was always my favourite!

I wish I could have seen him live but I did get to see John Owen Jones a few times back when I first became obsessed with the show in the late 90s and I'm so glad, he's my second favourite Valjean.
Possibly controversial opinion, but I don’t get why Alfie Bow is so highly regarded as JVJ. For me his style is too operatic and sounds jarring when he’s singing alongside more the musical theatre voices in the rest of the cast. Would always prefer a John Owen-Jones, Killian Donnelly etc JVJ instead. (Colm Wilkinson as the GOAT goes without saying, especially for those of us who grew up listening to the original cast recordings on long car journeys back in the 80s and 90s!)
For me, not controversial. I don't know why Alfie boe keeps getting brought back.
I don't get the hype about him at all.
I saw him in Carousel and he sang well enough in a very demanding role but his acting was so wooden I had to agree with the review that said Alfie Boe out acted by wig
I think that both he and Michael Ball have finally called Led Mid a day!
At least Michael was in the original cast!
Alfie is like SuBo, he got lucky but he managed to stick around and milk it.
I love Les Mis but the constant re casting of old favourites in the lead roles does get quite boring.
Give someone else a chance now!

That's what makes Sir Cameron money hand over fist though. He wouldn't be able to do the endless arena tours and anniversary concerts without reusing the known names.
Look that yacht isn't going to pay for itself!

I saw Josh Groban in Sweeny Todd on Broadway. Hugely disappointing. He has a wonderful voice but his acting was so wooden. Alfie Boe is the same. Being able to sing doesn’t mean you can carry a part in musical theatre. These producers don’t care as long as the big names bring in the $$$$

Why won't they just cancel the bleeping thing already? Put everyone out of their misery? I have never seen this level of chaos for this length of time with one show before.
Won't that mess things up for people who want to get the last trains out of London?
Jonathan Bailey is out of Sunday in the Park with George, too...
I was saying to a friend the other day it wouldn’t surprise me if he left, it’s quite sad.
I know they said they’re going to recast and will move forward, but I’m wondering if they actually will.
Is he the next Bond then? Been rumoured for over a year.
I've seen Sunday In The Park With George, years ago. It's not an easy musical. I can't see it being an easy sell without the big big big names so I should imagine it will get cancelled now and something simpler and more popular put on instead.
