If you want to hear the score from Les Miz, stay away from these non-singers and get a cast album. The Original Symphonic Recording or the 10th anniversary would do.

Anne Hathaway a “non-singer”? I think not. I also think Jackman did a creditable job and their decision to sing all of it “live” while filming was gutsy and added to the overall performance. Russell Crowe, on the other hand - well, never thought I’d see a show where Crowe was the weak link.

I have a love of original cast recordings. I don’t care for movie versions.

You’re right, just get the 10th...but not the 25th. That Jonas kid who played Marius was atrocious.

Better yet get the DVD of the 10th Anniversary. The finale with the 17 International Valjeans was original.

The highlight of the 25th DVD was Valjean, Alphie Boe (he can sing!) And the 4 Valjeans were singing Bring Him Home was impressive.
