Honestly, neither Joshua nor I had ever heard of Alfie Boe before Joshua started seeing advertisements for his concert on campus. But after checking him out Joshua knew it was a concert we had to attend! Boe just played the lead role of Jean Valjean in the 25th anniversary concert performance of Les Misérables, Joshua's favorite musical.
Boe is an incredible tenor! For the first half of the concert he sang opera pieces. The second half was show tunes. Though I could tell he was awesome and liked the concert, my enjoyment was hampered by the fact that I couldn't hear anything out of my left ear. (It had been like that for a couple days.) Lots of sounds coming in my right ear was kind of overload. Lucky Joshua got to truly enjoy the whole concert!! It was fantastic! His favorite was the closing number, "Bring Him Home," from Les Misérables.
Not only is Alfie Boe a great singer, but he was really entertaining. He seems like a down to earth kind of guy. And he has a new CD out. We want it. If you haven't already, you should check out Alfie Boe here.
