Ĭraig: Well, and I love the line right after that, “with their voices soft as thunder…”Ĭraig: …which is kind of a really neat image because there’s nothing soft about thunder, right? Lindsay: And where she was in her happy days, and then what went horribly, horribly wrong, which leads to… I think one of my favorite lyrics, I think, of all time, in that, the tigers – “and then the tigers come at night.” And it’s like that just says too much because, you know, the tigers aren’t going to come at night to snuggle you, they’re going to do something very, very wrong. And I mean, this is actually a five-act play, this song…Ĭraig: …which covers the whole journey of her life and everything that like led to the lowness that it has become. It follows this Sondheim thing about every song should be a one-act play. And it’s got a nice beat, you can dance to it.Ĭraig: Well, it is a fantastic song. And I like this song because I’ve read the book, and it’s literally like 10 chapters like all into one song, and I just think that’s good writing. And of course, it is sung by Fantine right after she gets kicked out of her job. But I really like this one, and that’s I Dreamed a Dream. And I think there are…you know, I say this is the most iconic song that I… No, I think there are a couple of… Oh, you know, there’s a lot of… It’s a very iconic large Greek theatre kind of musical anyway, so it’s really hard to pinpoint one iconic song. So what we thought would be a really good thing to do, to take a look at one song and look at different versions of it. So we kind of had to organize this a little bit. You could just sit there all day watching different Les Miz clips. You can find just about anything on there. There was lots to find on YouTube, wasn’t there?Ĭraig: It’s all on YouTube. Lindsay: And so we thought a perfect way to end our podcasts for the year before we take a little break would be to do a YouTube Fireside Chat on Les Miz, because there are a million squillion jillion different versions out there and concerts. Lindsay: Can you…? Are they singing the songs of angry men? Craig, can you feel the excitement in the air?

Wilkinson isn’t the only original cast member of “Les Misérables” to be cast in the movie. “Obviously, I’m too old to be climbing barricades and running around,” he said. In the video above, Wilkinson talks about his role in the movie. He also has released several solo albums. He played the title role in “The Phantom of the Opera” in Toronto and frequently tours the country. It’s a brief role but an important one - his act of kindness sets Valjean on a different path in life.Īfter playing “Les Misérables” on Broadway, Wilkinson embarked on a career in Canada. The producers of the new movie version have given the actor a cameo role as the Bishop of Digne, the priest who takes pity on Valjean.
“Les Misérables” fans of a certain age may remember Colm Wilkinson, the big-voiced stage actor who originated the role of Jean Valjean in London and later on Broadway.
