Man this guy has a strong voice. It fit the Phantom role perfectly. Now that I have heard him sing this it also fits with Valjean’s character. It said in the book Valjean was a beast of a man. So in that regard James voice fits this role perfectly as well.
I saw him as phantom in July 2016. He was the best Phantom I have seen in all my years. I have seen 12-15 productions! I would love to have his performance in audio just to listen to him as Valjean!
