thank you so much for these recordings!!!!! I saw him just recently, first ever time seeing a west end production and les mis, and was absolutely blown away by his performance
@hannahm7562 күн бұрын
I have just listened to this again and absolutely love it. I went to see Les Mis again a couple days ago and the cast on this recording is the closest to the cast I saw at the theatre with the exception of Val Jean and Thenardier. It is so good to have this to bring back the memories of that night. Stewart Clarke is phenomenal and definetely one of my favourite Javerts.

Saw him in London March 2024. Perhaps my favorite Javert having seen this show over 10 times since 1995. He freakin' rocked.

This new staging sucks 💩! It’s such a downgrade from the original. Very amateurish and cheap. Les Mis is my favorite musical of all time and I’ve seen it over 30+ times, but, I will never pay to see it with this staging ever again.

I saw this cast 4 times in six weeks, with one of those performances filled with understudies. Amena as Eponine straight kills it. Her energy is infectious. I sat second row center for the last show, and she sang directly at me for almost a minute of On My Own. I was star struck.

I went to see it yesterday and I feel like im still trapped at the seat of Sondheim theater, in awe by his performance (and the rest of the cast), it was such an impactfull experience... I dont think i'll ever be the same.
@melmichd.3985Ай бұрын
Exactly my feelings... Can't believe it's already been a week since I've seen him live. It left me feeling so starved of whatever I felt during the performance, I went to watch it again the next day, hoping for the cast to stay the same. I was only disappointed in three points, but the one that hit me the hardest was that Stew didn't perform (no front to Simon Pollard though, he was amazing too). I don't know what Les Mis did to me, but I never knew I needed a live performance of it until last Wednesday. I have since listened to the soundtrack on loop for literally most of the day, it's incredible what kind of hold it has over me. I listen to it in the evening while falling asleep, while driving anywhere, while riding the bus, while cleaning, while writing this comment. But the voice of Stew's Javert... There's something in it that that stirs my heart, it draws something out that usually only wakes when I'm in my favorite places, like London, Barcelona or Munich. Also it reminds me always of the time I spent in London last week in general, and I think about it every hour of every day. The day we left, three in the morning, walking down the street to the nearest bus stop to take it to the nearest train station to ride until Heathrow, all of us cold and tired? I put on my headphones and I let Les Mis and Stewart Clarke take me back to the place I was about to leave. Strange how music, sometimes the voice of one person together with it, can make you travel the longest distances without ever lifting a foot. It comforts me. ❤ (Hope I haven't been yapping for too long, sorry... I yap about the things I'm passionate about)
@kimpaul827021 күн бұрын
WAIT, WE'RE EXACTLY IN THE SAME SITUATION, really, I've been hearing it on loop, put no Javert slaps as hard as Stewart Clarke. Im soooo desperate to find a bootleg with him in it or going back to London to see him again.... That man is incredible

Wow, this cast sound amazing! What a talented group of performers when I enjoy them so much just from an audio recording. I imagine seeing them live in person is 10 times better. Thanks so much for sharing this so those of us who can't go can at least get a taste of how Les Mis is doing currently!

why do you even care that this person "watched the show through a screen"? maybe they've seen the show multiple times and wanted something to remember the cast by? I don't see the problem as long as they don't disturb the other visitors It is possible to enjoy the show and record it at the same time Also i don't think anyone records the show the first time seeing it
