Just found out about this. Go to Youtube, search for The Shows Must Go On. The Alfie Boe show is available all weekend.

Many of you will remember Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean in the 25th Anniversary Les Mis celebration.

Thanks! Great weekend for music… there’s a David Byrne concert film, too, directed by Spike Lee.

I really love his version of Snow Patrol’s Run, but he doesn’t seem to have released it as a single or on an album. I only know about it because of a concert clip on Youtube.
