Valjean's nemesis, the policeman
Javert, is impressively played by Nic Greenshields, whose strong voice just about lifts the roof off the theatre.
Joining Killian will be Nic Greenshields as
Javert, Katie Hall as Fantine, Martin Ball as Thenardier, Sophie-Louise Dann as Madame Thenardier, Harry Apps as Marius, Tegan Bannister as Eponine and Bronwen Hanson as Cosette.
You can't help but root once again for Jean Valjean, the good-hearted convict-on-the-run trying to evade the relentless
Javert through decades of French history.
Dominic West, left, and David Oyelowo were outstanding as Jean Valjean and Inspector
Javert, while Ellie Bamber was enchanting as Cosette.
David Oyelowo (
Javert) also played a blinder, but the biggest winner?
The army attacks the barricades as
Javert is thrown into turmoil by the selfless actions of Valjean, who feels conflicted about Marius and Cosette.
However, the big three - Jean Valjean,
Javert and Fantine - were played with such depth and feeling the others paled into insignificance anyway.
Naming some of the cast, Olivia Colman as Madame Thenardier, Dominic West as Jean Valjean, David Oyelowo as
Javert and Lily Collins (pictured) as Fantine, she is the daughter of singer Phil Collins, the acting is superb.
Enjolras leads a group of protesting students and workers to construct a barricade in the streets, while an increasingly desperate Valjean fears for Cosette's safety and arranges for her to go into hiding as
Javert's search for them grows ever more relentless.
Meanwhile,
Javert is ever more powerful and gets dangerously close to recapturing Valjean.
Naming some of the cast, Olivia Coleman as Madame Thenardier, Dominic West as Jean Valjean, David Oyelowo as
Javert and Lily Collins, the daughter of singer Phil Collins, as Fantine; the acting is superb.
