25th Anniversary Performance of "Les Miserables" with Alfie Boe singing "Bring Him Home" - he is the fourth Valjean at 2:20 into the video, wearing a white shirt.
In his late teens Alfie Boe took a job as an apprentice mechanic at the local TVR sports car factory in Blackpool. During the day he was shunted to the corner of the factory and left alone to listen to his beloved classical music. He would, quite often, entertain his workmates by singing his favourite arias and it was on one of those occasions that he was overheard by a customer. The gentleman worked in the music industry and suggested that he should go to the D'Oyly Carte touring company who were auditioning for new members. Out of over 1,000 hopefuls Alfie landed the job.
