"Les Mis" 1st National Tour PROSHOT, 1991!
Scenes and songs from the First National Tour of "Les Misérables" in 1991.
This YouTube channel is a magnificent find!
It consists entirely of video clips from a clear high-quality proshot of the 1st National Tour of Les Mis, filmed at the Pantages Theatre in LA in 1991. Almost the entire show has been uploaded.
The main cast is as follows:
Jean Valjean: Gary Morris
Javert: Richard Kinsey
Fantine: Susan Gilmour
Thénardier: Drew Eshelman
Mme. Thénardier: Rosalyn Rahn
Éponine: Susan Tilson
Marius: Peter Gunther
Enjolras: Pete Herber
Cosette: Gretchen Kingsley
Gavroche: Aaron Michael Metchik
Young Cosette: Lee Alison Marino
Grantaire: Gordon Gaddison
Since most videos from the early years of Les Mis are fuzzy, low-quality bootlegs, a filmed performance of this caliber is a true treasure! And if like me, you've always wanted to see what Gary Morris's Valjean was like in action after hearing him on the Complete Symphonic Recording (he'll never be my favorite Valjean, but I'll always have a nostalgic fondness for him because the CSR was my first Les Mis recording), here is your chance!
