Sierra Boggess - Stars 

that should be the april fool's day performance!

Bethany Jefferies yeah!!!!

The male version of Fantine would be problematic

Sierra: *does all the parts in One Day More*

I must see this!!! :D

@@adriannachouliotis6357 and A Heart Full of Love

Glinda? You mean Elphaba right?

***** I think her voice is too high to play Elphie

Jasper Tan I honestly wouldn't mind hearing her take a crack at either of them.

Alex Hurley she MUST be glinda

Jasper Tan usually Elphaba is played by a mezzo soprano and Glinda a soprano. And believe it or not but Sierra is actually a mezzo that just has an amazing range. So technically she could play either.

Well, I want her to do it again, but after going from an F5 to a B♭5, she has to go up like the Voices of Liberty to an F6

Alena Zakharova She can't sing a bad song

It’s funny you say that because I think the total opposite of Javert. Not as a criticism; all the characters in this show are flat. Is there conflict? Sure, but no growth. Javert is a foil to Valjean, the opposite of the good guy. He’s as single minded as they come- he only cares about one thing, he’s a fanatical bigot with no complexity at all. I think that’s kind of the point. Even in his last moments he fails to reflect or learn and kills himself because he can’t stand living in a world where he’s not right. Does his bigotry cone from pain? Sure. Do we pity him? Of course. But he’s about as complex as a comic book villain. He’s as one-dimensional as they come. But again, all the characters are. There’s no time for complexity in most opera. Good is good and bad is bad.

I believe there was a high school production that cast a female!Javert, although it was futuristic/steam punk. Some people don't like the idea of role reversal but I think it adds so much more complexity! Especially with Javert, who is pretty simplistic in his beliefs. I've seen some versions explore his character by casting people of color, but it would be interesting to see a woman take on the role in a bigger production!

@@melaniemurray6539 I think that's the point of Javert though. He is the complete antithesis of Jean Valjean, who DOES go through a HUGE change in character, from bitter ex-con who can't accept a kind gesture without stealing, to prosperous town mayor, to genuinely selfless hero. His greatest asset is his capacity to change and grow, and conversely, Javert is rigid, fixed and unchanging which creates the tension between the two - "men like you can never change/men like me can never change". Then when he sees that Valjean actually HAS changed and has saved another life, he cannot accept that his lifelong view has been wrong, that people CAN change, and that causes him to kill himself - he realises he has wasted his life. But he's certainly not one-dimensional, the whole point is it's not a personal thing with him chasing Valjean, just his obsession with upholding the law. This song shows that - he DOES have a softer side to him that he never shows to anyone.

You gave me an idea. What if there was a production that reversed all the gender roles in Les Mis? Would it work? Make sense? This song would.

She's American, actually. :)

Emily Moreno but she still has lovley british accent :D As Hugh Laurie in House MD. He's british but he has amazing american accent

Grace Hofer saaaaame omfg

RIGHT!? Although this video proves that someone with a female range can play Enjolras effectively: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T0frLXpI9To.html

Audra Horton Ramin did a cover of I dreamed a dream, so he should try out for Fantine ;)

Audra Horton throw in Hadley Fraser. he could be Cosette

@@erikabautista7072 yesss

Wensela Âû yessss i would be val jean

Wensela Âû Imagine "A Little Fall of Rain." That would be a unique twist.

Oblong Receptionist ^^^

I typoed his name to Phopip Wuast and that’s how me and my friends been referring to him ever since

Me. I'm a late comment, but I feel you so much! A girl like me who 1) learns how to sing for like 2-3 months 2) is a high soprano 3) has little to no talent can never play the role I have always wanted, though hey, i kinda nail Bring Him Home.

Elizabeth Millward everyone's better than Russell Crowe

russell puts only about 7 times more emotion into this song. Same issuewith quast and most trained performances of this song. Theres so much more than just pure bombastic zealotry behind these lyrics ezpecially within the context of the story but most singers just like to abuse the big finish. Now crow also had the wonders of cinematography to help convay the more subtle bits. Ex: I tbink if you just look at the lyrics within context, Javert is not moreso speaking about himself and his failures than he is about the "fugitive out in the darkness". He's asking god for forgivness. But in the way this song is normally played except for in the movie it just seems like he is totally unaware of his own failures.

Russel crowe did an amazing job

Absolutely! 😂

@@dankhnw8 not compared to Sierra or abyone who's played javert he didn't

+La Esmeralda A high school in Utah casted Javert as a girl and she's amazing.

Marvelous Megan Really? Cool, i'd like to see that.

I'm a girl and I'm playing Javert.

I'm casted as Javert in our school's end of year (summer) production this year :p and last year in our winter production last year there was a girl playing McCavity in Cats :p wish the boys in our school are more into performing arts haha

well there's already fanfic so I don't see the problem with that
