That awkward moment when the Les Mis O2 concert underwhelms you...

With the exception of some very die-hard Jonas fans, most people feel that Nick Jonas was the weak link in this production. As for the rest of the cast and the production itself -- I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was at the concert (both performances) and I was in tears during Bring Him Home and the show finale as well. I was extremely happy that Alfie Boe did so well -- he really won those crowds over.

I wasn't underwhelmed at all. In general I liked the cast in this concert more than the previous televised concert. Nick Jonas was the weak link. He wasn't terrible, but wasn't that good either.

The staging was a bit awkward, but less so than the previous concert. When you get performers used to doing the show in a fully staged production, they all seem a little bit lost just going up to a mic and standing there. For me, this was a fine concert version of Les Mis.

You've never been on Tumblr, have you?

Nick Jonas looked constipated whenever he sang a note.

Nick Jonas was a disaster, no way around it. Fortunately, the rest of the cast made up for it.

Salonga looked and sounded great, but seemed far too regal a presence for Fantine. I never once believed she was a desperate, dying woman.
