Les Miserables 2/7/00 full show - Sutton Foster as Eponine 

I'd like to thank the camera man who knows the show very well

It is good to see this musical in its entirety as most performances only show the shortened version.

I saw this cast! I remember being so incredibly impressed by Sutton - she was the perfect Eponine, you could hear a pin drop during her "On My Own". She has true star quality, it didn't surprise me when she swept Broadway just a few years later.

Valjean is incredible! Great voice!

Wow, this gives me goosebumps. I saw this exact run at Ahmanson theatre and it was the show introduced me to the musical theatre. I watched it 6 times afterwards, and remains my favorite show.

i love that you can spot Sutton Foster, Aymee Garcia, and Regan Thiel in the early scenes. Aymee is the Bishop's sister, for example, and if i'm not mistaken the camera zooms in on Sutton during lovely ladies for the last verse

This recording is outstanding! Fine work, whoever you are. Ivan’s probably my favorite Valjean. Thanks for sharing 😊

One of the best I have seen and I have seen a few! Really enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. An excellent cast.

What a terrific production of Les Miz! It was great seeing a young Sutton Foster, but did you notice that whenever she was on stage (even when she wasn't the central character at the time), the videographer zoomed in and remained on her? Maybe her mother shot the video! Whatever, this is a true gem!

Thank you for this. I've been looking for this whole show Sutton as Eponine for the longest time.

Thank you for posting! Les Mis is my all time fave musical, and I love it all, but especially Jean Valjean's song at 56:35.

Outstanding production! The first I’ve seen it before they took out the turntable. Everyone did a great job! Thank you again!

Hard to beat the 10th Anniversary Special for the best singing!!!

Thank u!!!

Thank you. 👏👏👏

Soooo goood, thx

This was a wonderful production! For me, the performance of the Bishop brings to life the real character upon which he is based. Sutton Foster is, perhaps, the best representation of Eponine there has been! The way she bit most of her words and only occasionally sang sweetly - you could hear the life of the character pouring forth just as Hugo wrote her! Miss Foster's acting and her appearance were increcible - such subtlety, sadness, devotion, emotion, and love - she was Eponine come to life! Finally, the kiss was perfect! Lea Salonga and Samantha Banks sang like angels (Miss Banks was a soft and tender version of Eponine on stage and the movie), but Sutton Foster - she _was_ Eponine! It is my good fortune to have seen this! Very many thanks for making it available! ~JL, PhD

This is brilliant, my mum/dad saw this with the original cast: Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball, Frances Ruffelle etc.... + still have the London Cast Recording in 1985 + was one of the first CDs they ever bought. Also still have some VHS/Betamax footage of when they were all on TV like on: The news, Wogan, Des O'Connor, Olivier Awards, BPI/Brit Awards, and when they were on radio etc

I actually saw this production with most of this cast a couple months earlier in Salt Lake City. I was shocked when I looked at the program years later and realized Sutton Foster had been in it. Aside from seeing it on Broadway in 2014, this is probably my favorite version that I’ve seen, and was the last time I saw it live with the revolving stage.

Wow this one is so beautiful

Wooh sutten foster as epone wow

Oh my heart when young cosette starts singing TAT

Saw it in Polish, was 3.20h long, best time of my life. Now the goal is to see it in English.

Enjolras looks so done with Marius- also, when the vuy who plays Grantaire literally climbs Marius: best moment, hilarious

L une des meilleures arraitation de fantine

Id never heard of Joan Amedilla but WOW

I'm surprised they didn't play the Pantages. I remember seeing "Phantom" for the first time at the Ahmanson and thinking the interior felt a bit to modern for "Phantom" it was a stark contrast to the Curran where "Phantom" had moved to and "Les Miserables played it's first SF engagement and a few afterwards. (the 25th anniversary production is playing the Orpheum as I type this)

ABC/Red and Black and do you hear the people sing it was heroic

not quite FULL show, but close to it. The instrumental at the end of "Who Am I' cuts off abruptly.

Thank you for posting this! Does anyone know who wrote the songs?

"PreTEEEEEEEENding..." Chills

Valjean betrayal is really of finale

Thank you so much for sharing this! I need to ask, does this come from a lower gen/master copy of the digital recording? The reason I ask is because this exact video has existed for years in trading circles as a very high gen copy, clearly from a VHS tape that had been copied many times. As such the quality of the video, which you never would have known was digital based off of the previously existing copy, is significantly lowered. So a lower gen copy has been highly sought after for many years, and you seem to have such a copy based off this upload. Would you be willing to, over email perhaps, share the original files of the copy you own, perhaps trading for it? So the video can be seen the way it was meant to and finally replace the low quality version we've had circulating for years. If not, I totally understand. Thank you so much again for sharing this upload of this amazing video with this brilliant cast!

Who is the Javert? I know that's Ivan Rutherford as JVJ

14:23

Everyone else is great, but somehow I find that british Mr Thenardiers are funnier. Look at Alun (don't remember his last name) in the 10th anniversary concert

1:41:20 on my own

I was fortunate enough to catch one of Sutton’s last shows before Diana Kaarina and Dina Morishita (?) took over 😊

what made Eponine switch sides from Evil to Good

do you think that Julianna Grace LeBlanc would make a great Eponine Thenardier and Jayden Bartels will make a great Cosette if they bring Les Misérables back for a remake

Eponine is definitely both good and evil

why is M. Thenardier so obsessed with robbing Valjean and Cosette - and cast Eponine aside like she is nothing

I just saw the trailer in Les Miserables 2012 movie to put the horror version of Cosette

is Eponine Good or evil

Eponine is both good and evil she has feelings for Marius and jealousy of Cosette

Enjorals is definitely look like Donald Trump to rally the hero’s of Revolution
