I was turned on to Ramin a few weeks ago when they posted Phantom of the Opera for the weekend. What an amazing talent! I am smitten with him. Check out his set at Paste Studio. ua-cam.com/video/wcPg4U1bvP8/v-deo.html
What I love about Ramin's Enjolras is not only that you can see fire in his eyes but there's also hope. Most Enjolras are just angry but this Enjolras looks like he really believes in the revolution!
The most important thing about the actors who play Enjolras is their eyes. Look into their eyes and if you see the burning fire of revolution in there, they are good. Ramin, Michael, Aaron... they all have that special fire in their eyes. Bless them.
Ramin is the best Enjolras in my opinion. There are other good ones, but Ramin exudes so much charisma and enthusiasm that you want to follow him even though you already know how terrible the outcome is.
+Someone I agree, I hated the one in the tenth anniversary of Les Mis, I had to have the subtitles on because I couldn't hear what he was singing. Michael Ball blows Marius out of the water, he was by far the best Marius. Best Marius 1: Michael Ball 2: Eddie 3: Gareth Gates 4: Nick Jonas
@@gabechristensen4241 Valid! Aaron is absolutely phenomenal, for me, I really can't decide between him and Ramin, they both bring something special to the role.
I can't get over 0:40 and how the guy on the left just can't help but break character a little bit due to the joy he's taking in his co-star's performance and intensity. That last-second smile before the camera cuts again is just too cute.
The guy singing is a very talented actor. He was only 26 here. Prior to this concert he has performed almost all the male characters of Les Miserables on stage including Valjean and Javert. Valjean is particularly impressive as he wasn’t even an understudy (an actor they usually reserve to play a role in case the actor actually playing the role is sick/absent) for that, but he was able to sing and perform the role well when the main Valjean actor and both his understudies weren’t available. His name is Killian Donnelly. The guy you were talking about who smiled is Owain Williams
Oh, This is a pure voice! He is a wonderful actor, Ramin Karimloo. I saw him as Gustave Daee in 2004, The Phantom in 2011. I heard him on UA-cam as Gleb Vaganov in Anastasia. May he reign as an angel of music for years to come!
Alfie Bowe was pretty badass in this cast too. But this concert would have been amazing if they lad put a talented singer in the role that Miichael Ball made famous instead of Nick Jonas. He's the only reason I will not buy the 25th anniversary bluray.
This was my first introduction to Ramin. I came to see Lea Salonga, laughed at Nick Jonas.. then Ramin showed up.. and I was like "Wait, hold up. Holy hot hell... who is THAT?!?!"
Enjolaras potrayal of Ramin is not just an anger driven revolutionary ready to fight which most actors do. He is ideology driven with hope of a better future..that is what we see in Ramin's eyes. Fire and hope. That is how Enjolaras is supposed to be.
Pretty much. Ramin = badass Phantom voice. Nick needs lessons from le Fantome. ;-) (Yes, I know this is Les Miz, but I was a Phantom phreak first, and Ramin is "my" Erik. ;-))
He's not the focus of this scene. If he were the center of attention he would be upstaging the others in the scene. He plays well his part and doesn't pretentiously try to make sure he is the top of attention. The fact that he stands to the side as a supporting actor in this scene is actually telling of his talent not irreverent to it.
I was going to play Enjolras for my school’s production. We got cancelled a month before the show because of the epidemic. Watching this is bittersweet; this is one of my favorite stories ever told, and it breaks my heart that we never got our chance to tell it.
me sees Nick Jonas: Oh how cute they gave him a background role *does some research Who the f thought that Nick Jonas was the best candidate for Marius. I mean right next to him stands Killian Donnely, one of the best Valjeans ever
I love how the singing grows each time they sing the chorus. First it’s just Enjolras singing, then those on stage join him the second time round, and then the people in the choir join in on the final pass. Its building to a crescendo.....just like freedom does!
Fun story: In my school, we saw the phantom of the opera 25th anniversary and then watched this, and when I said that was the phantom everyone was like hoLy shiT he's HOT!!! and when I told them granteir(idk spelling) was Raoul everyone was like (.....tf)
Ramin is so so so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
courtney Hakim, when i posted this in november there was rumors he was leaving with about 1/2 the original leads in late January, i was letting the person know in case he really was leaving and they could see him
Aside from pretty much nailing the physical description, Aaron also had the 'fierceness' they talked about in the book. Part of the reason the passion wasn't shown in the movie is because they turned the song into a bloody karaoke number!
To sit there and watch the stage version before you is always a remarkable tour de force of what is the best and the worst in all men and women,the incredible story,the music and the lyrics are a touch of human genius,so powerful it can almost define us as a species.
I remembered when the movie was out, and I was crying like crazy in the movie theater. Can't believe now I am suffering in hk and this became one of the song we sang during protest
this is going to sound super cheesey. the look in Ramins eyes is like a bird looking through a window and into a house. Ramin's Enjolras sees "tomorrow" through the window but the bird unfortunately flies into the window, stopped by the product of men.
This song make me cry :') i love that . This song teach us to be brave and also helping each other .royal with dear self , friends and country .love love love !
Jean Valjean - Sir Lionel Frost Javert - Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde Fantine - White Queen Cosette - Sophie Thenardier - King Julien/Nardole Madame Thenardier - Red Queen Marius - Newt Scamander Gavroche - Jack and the beanstalk
TimeandMonotony Lots of fun, it was really interesting to be in a professional environment. Most of the cast were very laid back as they knew Les Mis inside-out then would suddenly go full-out and it was amazing. Ramin was slightly quieter than everyone else as I think his separate dressing room meant he didn't build up the same friendship with the rest of the cast but always very friendly and happy to talk and did all the group warm ups. He also called everyone brother. After the show I told him I never got bored of listening to Bring Him Home even after 6 nights and he said it meant so much and said our backing chorus was great. I cried a smidge with happiness afterwards.
If you like this song, check the original french song "A la volonte du peuple" by Michel Sardou. It's probably the only song in the original musical that sounds better than every future international version
You mean the french original concept album? It was a prototype of the future show but well worth listen to it. It is the album which has started everything. I disagree about the quality of the other songs.
I hadn't seen Ramin perform outside of the Phantom of the Opera so I didn't immediately recognise him. It was only when he hit a high note that I heard that iconic voice of his and realised who he is. Took me even more embarrassingly long to notice Hadley Fraser
He played already Enjorlas, marius and he's done doing Jean Valjean in new york (I think). I wonder if he can portray Mr. Thernadier too.. I really want to see it or just even a cover of master of house.
Best films and best Ramin karimloo strong voice in Les miserables two Phantom of the Opera London - three phantom of the Opera I will tell you true in my mouth - Ramin karimloo - jean and phantom of the Opera 3 time is Voice strong Power Wales 🏴John Owen Jones
Soooo, who else thought it was cool af that Belarusian students sang this song to to protest against Lukasjenko's regime? I mean, I've always loved this song but that made it even better.
11 year old me: OMG Nick Jonas!!!!

11 year old me: OMG RAMIN!
21 year old me: *RAMIN!!!*
can relate but I’m turning 11 in July 17.
What I love about Ramin's Enjolras is not only that you can see fire in his eyes but there's also hope. Most Enjolras are just angry but this Enjolras looks like he really believes in the revolution!
And the tenth anniversary one sounded bored like he didn't want to be there.
amanogirl1 I believe he was actually very sick, a lot of people are impressed that he managed to sing that well while being that ill
Mana CH Who knows, we didn't see him in the twenty fifth anniversary.
Yeah that's because he wasn't part of the original London cast
Mana CH Actually it wasn't just the original cast, it also had the cast from the tenth anniversary.
The most important thing about the actors who play Enjolras is their eyes. Look into their eyes and if you see the burning fire of revolution in there, they are good. Ramin, Michael, Aaron... they all have that special fire in their eyes. Bless them.
+For Good Yes! He looked handsome enough to play Enjolras, but once I saw some videos, I saw the revolutionary in his eyes.Excited to see him in June!
The one in the tenth anniversary to me didn't have the fire of revolution in his eyes, he sounded bored to me.
Thaheera Althaf I thought they were crazy eyes...lol
Helga Korpvinge you are the only one, yes.
@@helgakorpvinge389 .....You don't like one of the best vocalists in these musicals?
Who else would follow Ramin into battle?
I'd follow him anywhere..
He'll ask us to sing we'll sing, he'll ask us to dance we'll dance he'll ask us to fight WE WILL FUCKING FIGHTTTTT
Lmfao
...who wouldnt?
Where is the fight? I'm ready..
Ramin is the best Enjolras in my opinion. There are other good ones, but Ramin exudes so much charisma and enthusiasm that you want to follow him even though you already know how terrible the outcome is.
+Someone I agree, I hated the one in the tenth anniversary of Les Mis, I had to have the subtitles on because I couldn't hear what he was singing.
Michael Ball blows Marius out of the water, he was by far the best Marius.
Best Marius
1: Michael Ball
2: Eddie
3: Gareth Gates
4: Nick Jonas
Ramins the best at everything
YYYYYYYEEEEEESSSS
Aaron Tveit is definitely the best Enjolras imo
@@gabechristensen4241 Valid! Aaron is absolutely phenomenal, for me, I really can't decide between him and Ramin, they both bring something special to the role.
There is clearly not enough Ramin in this video!
+Squiggly P ~ 100% straight male and I still think there is NEVER enough Ramin.

@@Girl-rj3qe listened to so many videos of Killian as javert...still not convinced that is actually killian as javert...Ok I am but still amazed
@@leefriedman3067 he's so amazing, i wish i could have seen him live (i haven't even seen les mis live)
Can we jus have Ramin Karimloo play every significant male lead in every show ever?
Yes!! I want to see him as Javert and as the Beast/prince in Beauty and the Beast, heck let’s throw Gaston in there while we’re at it…
Besides having an excellent voice and this being song that can unite ANYONE, a battle song of sorts, Ramin Karimloo is eye candy!
Why does ramin's enjolras look so emo? Lol he's dressed in mostly black, got the swoopy dark hair, and wearing eyeliner(?)
Hannah K lol! poor Ramin
***** He got his revenge on Hadley in the PoTO Royal Albert Hall performance! By the end of the show Hadley was looking very panda-esque
Lol it’s because he’s the phantom
He spent most of his life in isolation under a hidden catacomb of an opera?
Me bruh Hadley’s eyeliner got progressively more powerful as the show progressed. It was like Jack Black singing “Master Exploder”.
Oh, This is a pure voice! He is a wonderful actor, Ramin Karimloo. I saw him as Gustave Daee in 2004, The Phantom in 2011. I heard him on UA-cam as Gleb Vaganov in Anastasia. May he reign as an angel of music for years to come!
Elizabeth hisghman old comment but gustave daae in 2004 made me laugh
초등학교 4학년 때 이 버전의 뮤지컬 영상을 처음 보게 됐어요. 그 때는 앙졸라라는 캐릭터에 대해 잘 알지 못한 채로 봤는데, 이제 와서 다시 보니 이 배우가 앙졸라의 열정과 정의를 향한 마음을 눈빛에 아주 선하게 잘 담아내고 있는 것 같아서 감명이 큽니다.
라민 카림루 라는배우예요!
오페라의 유령 25주년 공연에서 팬텀을 하기도 했는데 한 번 보시는거 추천드려용: )
OMG THIS GUY. HE IS IN EVERYTHING. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. AND THIS
I was wondering why some Les mis and phantom songs sound kinda similar, then I found out they were probably sang by the same person
Really love Ramin's voice. It's so full and he just brings the songs he sing (even in The Phantom of the Opera) to a whole different world.
Can Ramin just do all the male parts?
Leave some for Hadley though, he's pretty badass himself ;)
I'd gladly let those two do the female parts as well :P
Alfie Bowe was pretty badass in this cast too. But this concert would have been amazing if they lad put a talented singer in the role that Miichael Ball made famous instead of Nick Jonas. He's the only reason I will not buy the 25th anniversary bluray.
ramin, hadley, and sierra, a three person les miserables

He's an accomplished musician and actor. What are you?
Kansasforlife Uh my point of this comment was to say that he got highly outshined by his peers and was miscasted amongst the talent. So...chill.
He's not the focus of this scene. If he were the center of attention he would be upstaging the others in the scene. He plays well his part and doesn't pretentiously try to make sure he is the top of attention. The fact that he stands to the side as a supporting actor in this scene is actually telling of his talent not irreverent to it.
I’ve always loved Ramin. Ramin’s voice’s so powerful yet so full of emotions and feelings.
So true I love this version more than the movie version!
OMG the first "do you hear the people thing" 0:04 that ramin says in that soft voice , I'm in love
I LOVE RAMIN SO FREAKING MUCH! i can still only see him as the phantom but he made an amazing Enjolras!
When I feel down and listening to this song always gives my energy back 💪. Especially sang by Ramin 😍😍😍
Listening to this on the way to protest
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA🤣
How'd it go?
Just watched this guy tonight. He was magnificent and I don't mean just his voice.
I’m jealous!
I was going to play Enjolras for my school’s production. We got cancelled a month before the show because of the epidemic. Watching this is bittersweet; this is one of my favorite stories ever told, and it breaks my heart that we never got our chance to tell it.
Sorry to hear that hope you will play it one day and send us a link.
Sending lots of love and hugs ;)
That's a total bummer. I actually hope to play Enjolras someday.
Ramin puts so much emotion in every song he sings
My love of theatre is all because of Ramin. What a voice
me sees Nick Jonas: Oh how cute they gave him a background role
*does some research
Who the f thought that Nick Jonas was the best candidate for Marius.
I mean right next to him stands Killian Donnely, one of the best Valjeans ever
Ikrrr, I was like, just pick one of those men, or even someone from the choir and I'm 100% sure they will be a better Marius than him. Hehehehehe
Ramin looks so young!
***** No matter the age, he's always gorgeous
MusicSharkChic As long as he gets rid of his beard, he looks young!
He was in his early 30s in this, that's pretty young.
(I'm 29 and don't want to think 30 is old, haha.)
He still kinda does for his age now
I love how the singing grows each time they sing the chorus. First it’s just Enjolras singing, then those on stage join him the second time round, and then the people in the choir join in on the final pass. Its building to a crescendo.....just like freedom does!
25주년 버전이 개인적으로 제일 좋은것 같아요
몇년이 지난 지금도 듣고 있네요!!
Can we have a movie where Ramin play all the male parts?
Can we have a movie where Ramin plays everyone?
Fun story: In my school, we saw the phantom of the opera 25th anniversary and then watched this, and when I said that was the phantom everyone was like hoLy shiT he's HOT!!! and when I told them granteir(idk spelling) was Raoul everyone was like (.....tf)
Wow this Enjolras was good.
Why the hell did they choose Nick Jonas for Marius, I would've liked to see either James Barbour or heck, Ramin!
Total stunt casting. Sticks out like a sore thumb every time he has to "perform."
Navid Namini it should have been Hadley.
He looks like a karaoke singer next to them . Embarrassing.
I've just watched it again, as good as Nick Jonas is, to me he is too young and too timid if you know what i mean.
Or hadley fraser dammit
Ramin is so so so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing Les MIs on Broadway in February! So excited to see Ramin and Will....Mostly Ramin though
i think ramin leaves in january
ok thank you for that! Thank gosh I didn't get tickets yet....
Broadway
courtney Hakim, when i posted this in november there was rumors he was leaving with about 1/2 the original leads in late January, i was letting the person know in case he really was leaving and they could see him
Ramin's Enjolras is my favorite. There's clearly passion there. Tveit is good, but he lacks the passion behind Ramin's portrayal of Enjolras.
Aside from pretty much nailing the physical description, Aaron also had the 'fierceness' they talked about in the book. Part of the reason the passion wasn't shown in the movie is because they turned the song into a bloody karaoke number!
This is my favorite performance of this song, ever.
No one seems to talk about how at the end Enjolras and Grantaire kind of side-hug as they walk off stage and I find it very important
I love this!! I just noticed it!
#Enjoltaire
Ramin is such a legend. He's the best Enjolras ever. And the best Phantom? Besides Michael Crawford?
I agree!
100% agree
He’s better than Michael Crawford, Crawford just sounds like an operatic Jerry Lewis.
この２５周年記念のレ・ミゼラブルが一番好き。
ramin has my heart.. from phantom to this and all the other beautiful roles he plays i love him
IM GOING TO SEE RAMIN KARIMLOO LIVE IN OCTOBER!!!! aaaaaaaaaah im so so excited! ill see the phantom not les mis tho but i know it'll be amazing!
Enjolras is my favorite character--by miles and miles.
I saw ramin live yesterday and lemme say I’m BLESSED
To sit there and watch the stage version before you is always a remarkable tour de force of what is the best and the worst in all men and women,the incredible story,the music and the lyrics are a touch of human genius,so powerful it can almost define us as a species.
Ramin is fabulous who would not follow him into battle
my favorite Les Miserables cast
I remembered when the movie was out, and I was crying like crazy in the movie theater. Can't believe now I am suffering in hk and this became one of the song we sang during protest
How did the protest go?
Best version of this song.
I can hear! let's go!! :)))
The intro?
Bridge 4!
this is going to sound super cheesey. the look in Ramins eyes is like a bird looking through a window and into a house. Ramin's Enjolras sees "tomorrow" through the window but the bird unfortunately flies into the window, stopped by the product of men.
Ramin’s dimples are so adorable

I love so much Killian’s intensity 😂❤️
I love that song and Ramin's beautiful singing!
RAMIN
This always brings me to tears, it's so stirring.
The ultimate "get pumped" song. Chills everytime
I'm doing some backing chorus stuff for a Les Mis concert with Ramin. I don't really do excited but I am VERY excited about this.
How'd it go?
TimeandMonotony Lots of fun, it was really interesting to be in a professional environment. Most of the cast were very laid back as they knew Les Mis inside-out then would suddenly go full-out and it was amazing.
