Anthony Warlow in the role of Enjolras 

Warlow was internationally regarded as the best Enjolras

I just love him!! His voice is obviously stunning, but what impresses me the most is his confidence to do "nothing" (unlike the actor who sings Marius..), but just be committed to the moment, be still and so truthful .. A MASTERCLASS!

I totally fell in love with this voice when I first heard it on the Les Mis recording. It's been sometime more than a decade and I still appreciate his voice very much. It's not just a pretty baritone voice but I love his way of delivering emotion. How brilliant it is now that people from other continents get to see these clips on the internet!

Anthony Warlow has such an effortless voice. His version of Jekyll and Hyde is freaking AMAZING.

Wow. I didn't know footage existed of him live in the role. He is the best Enjolras ever!

IMO it's what Enjolras is supposed to act like in the book. Enjolras is stern and still in the book and I can imagine him speaking with a plain stern look and no active expression at all. Mr. Warlow clearly read the book and I think he was trying to be faithful to that, as he stated in some interview. If you don't buy his interpretation, it's fine. Each one to their own. But I found I liked his Enjolras more after I had seen him in this video.

One of the greatest male singers alive today and that is not an over exaggeration. The man is a gift! Being here in the states I have worked very hard to get my hands on everything Anthony has ever released so this is a gem to see. Thank you for this! He is a talent that deserves to be seen

And I thought Grease had suspiciously old students.

Oh my life. I thought you couldn't get better than Thaxton as Enjolras... how I've never watched Warlow in the role before, I don't know, but I've found the true one.

I first watched this musical when I was a little kid, and Enjolras made a huge impression on the way I think. He was the first example I ever saw of a truly selfless and idealistic hero; to this day, there's a voice in the back of my head that says "our little lives don't count at all" whenever I'm acting pettily. :P

My very first Enjolras. Truly glorious. What an event this was. One of the greatest nights in Australian theatre history. ❤❤

I really like Warlow! He reminds me of Michael McGuire who is my favorite. They really captured the fanatical revolutionary. Some of these more modern Enjolras seems sort of passive or blase to me. I prefer the old angry kind.

Anthony Warlow has one of the most expressive voices in the contemporary music theatre IMO. He said his way of playing Enjolras was to be still and commanding. That might account for the fact that he doesn't show off the expression much in the beginning, but it's perfectly in accord with the description of the character written in the novel.

Warlow is one of the greatest singers to grace musical theatre, imo. I loved his voice so much when I grew up listening to this cast album. It's just so stunning.

i feel like in this performance you can really feel the energy and optimism all of them have for the revolution. it's something i find - weirdly - missing in most renditions of this song, but it's done so well here

He played Enjolras in Australia during 1987 - 1990. This video was recorded in 1989.

Thank you for putting up an amazing piece of australian musical theatre history. i was 9 when i saw it in Melbourne and ive never forgotten it.

*bursts out laughing* HE HAS HAIR! Oh man, I cannot get use to seeing Mr Warlow with hair... Anyway... This man is... I don't have an adjective cool enough. I love him so so much. He is the God of Australian musical theatre. I'd kill to see him do Enjy live, It would have been awesome.

I love how the "students" all have receding hairlines :D

Sorry, never heard of AW before, untill I saw him doing a great and funny performance in "Patience". It brought me to this video. This is absolutely stunning, 1:55 - 2:55, this mans voice is so powerfull. What a great singer he is, from now on one of my favourites. Thanks for shearing. Gr., Y. from Holland.

3:48 is a great bit of acting. He starts the line angry and then midway though seems to remember that Marius is his friend and very young, and softens his delivery mid-sentence.

He is the only true Enjorlas! He has a powerful commanding voice yet does not sound like a condescending ass or a pre pubescent teen. However might I add that these student (who are supposed to be about 20) look like old men, and the Marius well if I don't have anything nice to say I won't say it.

Scary how these guys got cast, anthony warlow can sing the phone book

Anthony Warlow = legend.

Anthony, yes, he is the GOD of the musical theater, he's the perfect Enjolars. Marius here made me laugh lol

Haha, quick save at 3:22

This is incredible. I remember listening to the OBCR and hearing Enjolras's songs, and thinking about how the guy vaguely sounded like Warlow, and how I'd love to hear Warlow sing this role. And now here it is! I want to lick this man's vocal cords. He is just that good.

I like Anthony very much, I'm so glad he was in the Complete Symphonic Recording and he's amazing. But in my heart Michael Maguire will always be Enjolras.

He is indeed,I am a singer/actor and look to Anthony Warlow as inspiration and example in the Musical theatre field.

Warlow is the BEST at EVERY character he performs!! xx

Anthony Warlow ❤️ This performance, this VOICE, shows how amazing it is to be alive! Michael Ball is my favourite Marius though 😉

Extraordinary singing. Next level

ROFL can't get over the trumpet at 5:16. Warlow is like 'What am I doing in this show...'

definitely my favourite enjolras

Peter Cousins. Looking back some 20 odd years later, I cannot believe the massive crush I had on him in the late 80's early 90's hahaha

Cut off here in the UK I've only just discovered Warlow! Now I'm downloading everything I can find. Superb, powerful emotive delivery.

But most importantly I love love LOVE this show!!! Thanks so much for posting this!!

Beauty! Loving Anthony Warlow's performance. Also love how he looks here, wig and all. :-D

Anthony you will always be the best, Les Mis, Secret Garden, or My Fair Lady love you always, miss pasties 😁

What a tank of a voice! :) Fantastic!

WOW!!! I would love to see ALL of this production!

I'd love to see Anthony do Enjolras's part in One Day More

Beauty! Loving Anthony Warlow's performance. And he's very handsome here, wig and all. :-D

A W is so watchable, talented and beautiful, very best wishes

I love his acting, he's using his voice to convey his thoughts and feelings more than his acting (which he's acting in a realistic way).

Whoo, thankyou sooo much for posting these!

For all of the little problems I see here, Anthony Warlow is still the definition of vocal perfection...

I think Anthony Warlow is probably the best singer in the world

love his Enjolras!!!

anyone else have a sudden craving for a ham and cheese sandwich after witnessing that Marius's performance?

Wish they'd bring some of these classics back to Australia again - I've got time to go now with my babies grown up..... Peter Cousins - great voice too

Anthony Warlow is so superb.

Anthony Warlow is fucking perfect and whoever this guy playing Marius is just too doe-eyed or something. Warlow deserves better, like Michael Ball or something. Or maybe he should do both parts!

I love this man!

Anthony's hair makes me giggle.

I was basing my assumption off of his work on the complete symphonic recording, and he does sound a little tired (only a very, very small amount) leading up to that E-natural. If he normally did opt for the lower note, perhaps it was because it was early on in his career and he didn't feel completely confident in his upper-register? That wouldn't make entire sense, however, because of his origin in the world of opera and advanced voice. Regardless, he sang that E very well! Haha.

And he does that note in the Complete Symphonic Recording, so maybe he was sick this day or something.

Det har jeg set med Stig Rossen her i Danmark,vor Stig Rossen havde hoverollen i den her musical.M.V.B.

I saw this in 1988 in Sydney. Simon Burke was playing Marius.

Staged for TV I think a lot of the performers lost something, or perhaps the nerves took over. Peter Cousins (Marius) was much better on stage than here, but he played the love sick puppy part well. Anthony Warlow always made me want to leap from my seat and join him on the barricades to die. I've not seen or heard his Enjolras surpassed, and sadly in the movie they neutered the character, I suspect to give more focus to Marius.

True. Anthony Warlow is incredibly awesome.

The 6 vote for no is onbelieveble. Les Mis is a fantastic musical, and Warlow and his friends did a great job.

i feel like the whole time anthony's singing he's thinking "i'm enjolras, bitch."

Fantastic!!!!Australian casts are the best!!!

He is on Broadway now in ANNIE...I was lucky enough to interview him on opening night (if interested, check out my page on RU-vid). What a nice, talented man!

hahaha at 3:22 that guy forgot to come in with "Red!" and the guy next to him is sooo pissed off lol

Best Enjolras I've ever heard!

What would be better, singing a note which you aren't that comfortable with or using a note in the same chord, which also works, and is even stronger? No brainer... Warlow is a fantastic artist, just a slight change which suited him better. His voice is just pure and awesome

Anthony Warlow is the best male on the musical scene ever. Love him! :)

Both Philip Quast and Anthony warlow were doing The Secret Garden at the time. Only one of them was allowed to do it.

O.M.G. ANTHONY WARLOW IS A MUSICAL THEATRE GOD!! I used to be a big fan of Maguire. Then I looked up who sang Enjolras on the CSR. I

WOW,that's terrific! Nice to meet a cast member here on youtube here. But I must say you had rather strange makeup and wigs from a updated view now, or it's just because the closeup made the makeup looked all exaggerated. And I figure all the singers didn't change costumes as they did on stage?

The God!

He is currently on broadway in Annie.

The singing is great but this video is making me laugh so much XDXD

Haha... That was awesome

Warlow is a genius... He puts emotions in every single note. Best Enjolras ever... Rest of the crew is quite disappointing!

jib out...its called artistic liberty...must everyone do it the same...Anthony Warlow is God! Never question him

aww man that was the best! do you have any more of Anthony in Les miserables?

anthony warlow totally owns this video

Yea, you're right.

He just looks so done with it lol

The Marius is Peter Cousens, and the year is 1989.

THE BEST ENJOLRAS EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe,very funny. Actually a friend of mine once said she thought Peter Cousens looked and sounded quite like Michael Ball. Well, it turned out many agreed with her. If you search Peter Cousens through the net you'll find his website and pictures with him and Anthony in Les mis. And a research into Michael Ball's website shows he never performed Marius in Australia, though he is the Marius on the complete symphonic recording with Anthony as Enjolras.

didnt know the students in the 1800's had mullets and receeding hairlines :| BUT mr warlow. u r amazing. u make me proud to be an aussie male singer :D

Aaron Lazar is amazing, and Michael Maguire once was pretty good, but Anthony Warlow is unique and great in his own way. How many real deep dark and powerful baritone Enjolras' can you get? Plus have you ever heard Complete Symphonic Recording? He certainly has no problem in high notes. He has even higher notes in other shows. I'd guess his choice of low note is to keep still as a calm leader.

I love warlow, but he looks like elvis haha

No doubt indeed! Warlow we need you to do something AWESOME! I hear rumor that he will play Jekyll & Hyde in the film version! MERELY RUMOR! (i hope it's true)

Is there a whole video of Anthony in the Australia Day Concert anywhere, even if I have to trade for it?

his hair looked like elvis.... but it sure sounded like the good old Ant!

Does anyone have this whole concert somewhere?

@nekwera such were the fashion...Look at Napoleon...and some students never get out of school....;-)

Anthony has a new website and facebook page!!! Go to facebook and type in Anthony Warlow Online :D

Thanks for posting the video. Where is this from? I want to see On My Own and I Dreamed a Dream

HE'S SO YOUNG!!!! When was this done?

Wow! Anthony Warlow looks so young! what year is this? I just recently saw him as the phantom of the opera in February! it was AMAZING!

where did you get this?! This is great

@AllOverAussie Is the Australian Day concert. Not a regular show.

He's not Javert because Philip Quast pwns that role. :P
