PS Original director of “Les Miz,” Trevor Nunn, was a no-show on Sunday night. He’ll find out soon when the brothers go on a tour of South America. And the demands of this kind of singing, he said, had improved his pop singing. His voice is not yet on a par with the musical and opera stars around him, but he gave it his all.Īfter the show, Nick said that even his brothers had been surprised when they saw him do the show. One third of the pop trio the Jonas Brothers, Nick has to be given kudos for doing a run in the West End as Marius and then jumping in with last night’s all star cast. It was a first.īut the big draw seemed to be 18 year old Nick Jonas as Marius, the star crossed lover of the show’s heroine, Cosette. Indeed, Boe was such a hit Sunday night that he received a standing ovation in the middle of the show as he finished the song “Bring Him Home.” Later even Mackintosh said that in that 25 years no one had received a standing ovation during the show. Lea Salonga and Alfie Boe - opera star turned overnight musical theater sensation–headlined the spectacular event. He filled the O2 Arena twice in one day with “Les Miz” fans and gave them a superstar concert version of the show followed by a finale featuring knock out performances from the original 1985 cast.
Mackintosh put on two shows Sunday–one in the afternoon and the big one in the evening. Nick Jonas, teen pop sensation, was the unlikely draw at producer Cameron Mackintosh’s 25th anniversary “Les Miserables” extravaganza Sunday night in London.
