I think he could be good in that venue with some years of serious training. He wasn't bad at all for seventeen, but this was supposed to be a world-class, best-of-the-best performance. He was just out of his league and, TBH, I felt sorry for him, because I got the impression he took it seriously and really was giving it his best.

I honestly didn't expect him to be Michael Ball, but I felt like any one of the barricade boys at that concert would have been better, and that's a problem.

This. I really don't care about his background other than that because of it he landed a role he had no business being in at this point. When characters who are not named in the musical outperform you, there's a problem.

Yes this. I had no idea who he was when I saw the DVD (don't care about pop music, I learned all I know about him from his whining fans defending him in youtube comments) and honestly I was not very surprised because it's been a trend for a while in the west end to cast pop singers as Marius for their debut roles.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly they all have the same problem: not enough training. Which is ok, they're young and honestly, I have yet to see an adult Cosette I like for the same reason: young actors, difficult parts and all that.

What did surprise me is that they did it for the 25th anniversary concert. Even chorus members should be impeccable in that sort of performance, it's not the time to have someone learn a role!

He needs more vocal training, and he needs to learn to act. instead of acting he kept staring at the audience (you know, like a child when they tell you to pick a spot above the audience and stare at it if you're too nervous to actually see the audience?).

And forget Micheal Ball, it was most obvious every time he played across Ramin Karimloo who left him in the dust as Enjorlas. Enjorlas and Marius SHOULD have performers on the same level, especially in special concerts like this.

So yeah, nothing against the kid and he's welcome to the stage role to learn but NOT at the 25th anniversary contest.
