Thank you so much for this! I love Tam Mutu. In my opinion he's a great Javert. He sounds better then the actor I saw on the National Tour. I wish could have seen Tam instead.
I completely agree with both of you. He gave me chills all over. He really creates an atmosphere that is brilliant. He has a very beautiful voice and at the same time he's playing, more "being" the role so awesome.
I saw him for the first time last week, and I must say, I thought he was excellent. I have seen the show over 20 times, and he is now my favourite Javert after Earl Carpenter. An absolute class act! I liked Hadley too, but I preferred him as Raoul in Phantom ;)
Hmmm! If I step out of my usual frame of reference regarding Hadley Fraser, yes, he was certainly prettier as Raoul. I love his Javert for being so different than everyone else's.
