Les Miserables of course is a favourite musical of anyone, an absolute classic, but to hear Alfie Boe sing Bring Him Home to a huge theatre full of fans as part of his performance was simply incredible. Boe’s voice is distinctive and one of those goose bump guaranteed voices, and he brought everyone around me to tears before the end of the first verse. Watching Boe perform a variety show blew me away, as he demonstrated the incredible versatility of his voice in one performance, from tenor to bass pieces.
As well as being one of the most talented vocalists I have ever heard perform, Boe is hilarious and great at interacting with his audience. From the start of the concert he was cracking jokes and asking everyone in the audience questions, and although it was a huge theatre, it felt really personal and intimate. Of course all of Boe’s recordings are incredible, but the raw emotion that he injects into his music is something that is massively heightened in live performance and brought a whole new level of comprehension to the songs.
When he performed the duet Come What May, he and Becky were joking before the song started, and they had a little giggle in the introduction and started again. I really liked this comedic aspect, as it demonstrated that the couple were really enjoying the show as well as performing an incredible song.
