In this episode, the HEE crew frolic about in their love for Schönberg and Boublil’s classic musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel. They compare the musical to the book and discuss the ways in which the medium of theater (and film!) allows creators to emphasize Hugo’s themes in unique ways.

Ian’s Comprehensive List of the Best “Bring Him Home” Performances:

Colm Wilkinson at the 10th Anniversary concert (my all-time favorite)

Alfie Boe at the 25th anniversary concert

Gary Morris on the complete symphonic recording

John Owen Jones

Four tenors rendition featuring Wilkinson, Boe, Jones, and another tenor I don't recognize

Current Broadway star Ramin Karimloo, who is my second favorite performer after Wilkinson

Very young Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things (amazing!)
