For the reasons you said, this will go down as one of my all time favorite videos from anyone from all time. A metamorphosis takes place in Alfie - - goes into character before I had a chance to prepare for it and all in a kitchen . Matt Lucas always is so good himself and so appreciates Alfie's talent - very sweet. These two are great together.

Alfie's pouring his heart out and I'm over here watching Matt have a ball with what should be a serious song, haha. These two together are hilarious.

Shivers at 2:26 when Alfie belts out my favourite line of the song!!!! 😍😍😍

Very impressed with Matt's voice, he can hold his own! However, I just love Alfie's voice x

Alfie's awesome. He can laugh at Matt's jokes,but still is able to stay in character. Awesome

Alfie is absolutely Phenominal, onstage and off! That man has the vocal chords of God.

so as soon as alfie hit that first note... i got goose bumps... that voice man oh man

That was quite nicely done. Matt, underneath all that goof is a fine, fine voice. Alfie, when get into character, you get into character. F'got you were in a kitchen! Well done, gents.

wow...Alfie certainly can belt out a song, then, can't he???? Love this man--voice, personality, genuine human being it seems!

Just love it. The two of you look like you had so much fun doing this. The warmth of your friendship, filled with laughter and music...what more do you need? Thanks for sharing w/us Matt. You make a great J!

Love watching Alfie's stomach before he sings! Good diaphragm breathing!

you two are unstoppable.

Matthew is the cutest! But Alfie, oh my, he is fantastic.

I love you Matt! Ha Ha! amazing voice, along with an awesome sense of humor! ;D

"before you say another word Javer-" "alright" "before you chain up like a slave again" "oh yeah" "listen to me, there is something I must do" "he's here again with the excuses, c'mon let's have it."

alfie is a true profesional for staying in char with matt pissing about

Matt you did good...Alfie brilliant as always

Fabulous, Matt really does have a good singing voice, what a duo! XX

I LOVE these videos Matt & Alfie do - so funny and adorable together!! NOBODY sings better than Alfie Boe!!! :o)

That was fun to watch....I really like Alfie's face without his beard

I am in love with Alfie...

Alfie wasn't cast because he is TOO GOOD. If you watch the movie, it's more about realism, not necessarily perfect singing. If he was cast he would have outshined the rest of the cast for sure - especially Russell Crowe.

I love Matt's little comments during Alfie's first words...hahaha. Years ago, I saw a production of one of Gilbert and Sullivans works and they had changed the wording a little bit to reflect what was going on in our politics. It was hilarious! the audience loved it.

These videos are the highlights of my day. Thanks for posting them.

Omgosh, Alfie does it effortlessly! Goodness! Gets right in character the moment its his turn!

You guys together are hilarious and both so talented in your own rights. You really do bring out the best in each other. Fantastic!

What was awesome was how Alfie went into total character of Val-jean in Matt's Kitchen. He really is amazing.

...and as for awards, Alfie has a Tony, too, British theater awards and a slew of awards for European and UK opera. Alfie also does albums. In the past 3 yrs, 3 are Top Ten, two went platinum, and previous ones hit the top ten in the UK Classical charts. So...

Well don, boys. That scene is by far one of the most powerful of the story and Matt did a surprisingly good rendition of Javert.

fair play matt's not bad could easily step into the role of javert! even just having a sing song in his mates kitchen Alfie sounds f'n awesome.

These videos of you two are just amazing! Wish you'd do more next time you get together!

I just discovered this today. Spectacular. I have chills up and down by spine. You both are so good, too good if that is possible.

Alfie and Matt are so much fun together, and both are ridiculously talented. What I want to know is WHY there's no soundtrack/cast recording of Les Mis with Alfie and the 25th Anniversary cast? Why cast such an outstanding singer and then not release a soundtrack?

I specifically looked this up and I am SOOOO happy I found it's still up. I love you both! Wish I get the chance like that one day.

LOL Matt is great as J! Love Matt and Alfie!

Until I watched Les Mis I had no idea that Matt Lucas could sing, it actual amazed me how good he is

Both talented singers, fantastic duo :)

Matt Lucas is brlliant in this, compliments Alfie's voice fantastically...

Matt... you knocked this out of the park dude...

I love how Alfie does a accented crescendo at around 2:27--so dramatic and musically intricate. :)

These two are hilarious together!! More duets please!

Best giggle on the face of the earth. ("oh wait, it's the wrong song!"..."giggle")

It amazes me how much Matt's improved. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in more roles hopefully

A comic version of the 'Confrontation'. These two should have their own show.

Matt's really good too at this song!! :D

I adore the both of you. You both are funny, down to earth, entertaining. Not many like you two left in this world. Hearts of gold it seems. May the Lord Bless all of your endeavors. : )- From a fan, talent admirer

excellent.just recently watched the doc about you preparing for les mis.You did a great job of Thenardier

Thanks, Matt - what a treat! Wish I could see you two live in London. My O2 video (and these kitchen warbles) will have to suffice .

Gave me the shivers. Well done lads.

They are wonderful!!!!! ¡uf!, I love them!

So wonderful

Alfie Boe could sing me the alphabet and i would melt.........Cant wait to see him in 2 weeks time in concert (front row seats!!).......may be tempted to get on the stage with him........watch out youtube!! .

Jealous LOLi would love a chance to sing with Alfie, i think he has an amazing voice

Sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing. Mr. Lucas, you are hilarious.

Matt Lucas is a better javert than Crowe.

That was absolutely amazing lads! Very well done! I had to listen to it twice to listen to each part properly. Can't beat a good counterpoint eh? x

Matt Lucas is an amazing singer! But you can definitely tell who's the professional ;) x

have no words, this is amazing. Matt you're awesome

Yes, yes, yes - I love this!!!!!!! More, guys!!!

one of the best things i've watched in ages!

God look at the muscles on Alfie *dies*

"What must be DooooN" love it Alfie!

Matt! Daaaannng. :) I knew you were a great comic actor/singer but you're just plain good (and we won't talk about the other guy, you know he's pretty good ^_^) Seriously. That was a terrific little performance right there. Nice to hear you showing off your voice a bit, because it's also great to listen to!

OHH I love this!!!

I agree. He did exceptionally well for not being trained! And Jonas was trained... not sure what his excuse is.

they r so much fun together!

I would like to see them do it more than I want to see the actual movie. Both of them should have been in the movie!

Our School is putting on Les Mis in March down in Devonshire, don't worry we're not all country bumpkins, I was really looking forward to doing Confrontation with my Valjean counterpart, until we saw that it was cut for the school version, sad times :(.

Matt Lucas would be the funniest Javert ever, he's a great Thernardier though really great, Alfie is my favorite Val Jean. "Three days he'll run to Belgium by then!"

That was amazing!!! And they were talking about Hadley :D!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant.

Love it lov it love it

OH god, Matt would make the FUNNIEST Javert!! I adore these two :) My personal favorite Thenardier and Valjean

great voices :)

WOWOWOWOWOWW So incredible

*applauds* I really wanted to clap for that.

I'd rather watch this over and over again than the actual Les Mis movie

Funny, I can *ACTUALLY* picture Matt as Javert! XD

Amazing.

@Pepoland9 Welcome to the BOE Craze! The kitchen ones are awesome, but my personal favorite is when he sings 'In My Daughter's Eyes'

they have very lucky neighbours...

Bravo!!!!

That's such... you think Alfie walked onto the stage Oct 3, 2010 and sang Les Mis for the 1st time? He rehearsed for over 6 mos, and did the show in the Queen's Theatre for 2 wks. Then sang 2 full shows in one day. And if Alfie can sing the 25th, concerts, etc, without blowing a sound system, I'm sure the movie sound techs could cope. Alfie has incredible dynamic control (soft-loud-soft), much better than Jackman.

2:25 Fucking Hell, Alfie YOURE IN A KITCHEN

Yeah he played against Alfie. There is another video that Matt put up while he was playing Thénardier and Hadley was in it and that was put up the same time as when Alfie played Jean Valjean

Brilliant

I am shocked to hear Matt's voice in this. He has a powerful instrument there that he is really learning how to unlock! Well done Matt! Oh, and Alfie was pretty good too.... :)

awesome!

Ahh I just love les mis :')

Brilliant :D

Love it!!! Got the feeling Matt is channelling Norm Lewis - intonations are the same... but great video guys!!

Both are a crack up

Can't stop laughing and I've seen this so many times omg..hahaha. But I didn't know Hadley was playing Javert!!

this is fucking fantastic

by ARSE that Lucas has a good voice!

matt is so funny

Wow!!!

'Well, he's good'. 'Pathetic' !

@JoJoBee19 "Jackman can sing a little". He's been singing professionally on stage for longer than you've known he exists.

@JoJoBee19 I feel exactly the same way. It's very puzzling and sad. I just got an email from Boston Opera House because the touring company of "Les Mis" is coming to Boston, and on home page of 'Les Mis' website is text of CM raving about HJ and RC being "born" to do those roles: how awful! (I like them both as actors, but for me Alfie is THE Valjean for the 21st century.)
