Hadley Fraser - Javerts Suicide. (The Last One)

[@mikkinosh7]

In my humble opinion, Hadley must have gotten a bigger role in the movie than just an officer. His singing is stunning, and also he is photogenic.

[@josephst.george7841]

He should've been javert

[@ellacaine3305]

Joe st. george he should have been valjean and ramin karimloo should’ve been javert

[@samuelblachon95130]

They wanted huge movie stars that's their biggest mistake like the phantom Movie

[@bisexualantigone]

@@samuelblachon95130 glad they chose actual musical talent for supports like Eponine, Enjolras and the boys

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Hadley is without doubt one of the best and vocally most powerful Inspector Javerts ever ! I hope he'll be Valjean one day too

[@michaelhollander5411]

This is one if not the best of all the Broadway videos I have seen this year...Oh what a very good voice...and the sayings are very domicile...in"So you think I am in Talented"Hadley is just wonderful and he schould team up with Jacob Cully another talented singer......10 Stars he gets.....The Vid schould of been an Hour Long....

[@graceb8500]

If you think Hadley is power, try listening to Norm Lewis singing Stars ( I don’t know if there is a recording for the suicide)

[@Ayyeliki]

Love Hadley HOWEVER. HOWEVER! No one beats the unsurpassable 3-time Laurence Olivier award winner PHILIP QUAST, best baritone & JAVERT, sorry folks - check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6PbnGejq8p_edk

[@charlottehubau335]

He doesn’t want to play Valjean it’s a bit high for his voice 😭 but agreed he’s really amazing both vocally and acting wise

[@Jared_Alexander]

I love the fact that he goes up to the B flat on the "Shall his sins be forgiven..." It makes it much more epic.

[@gabicastle9217]

Hadley doesn't only sing the notes, but unlike most Javerts (not all of them, no offense to many that are talented) Hadley becomes the song. What a talented and HANDSOME man!!!! ❤️

[@amandae8437]

I had to smile at first as I read "Javerts Suicide (the last One)" and thought "How many did he have until now O.o?". Sorry I had to say that ^^. Awesome performance, awesome voices.

[@DoroteeaZorici]

Yes, it seems that he's trying so hard 😆🤣

[@amkii2]

😂

[@lalas181]

I'll forever hold Quast as my favorite Javert, but like... Hadley Fraser's Javert is just so, so good! Quast is the no-nonsense hardened lawman Javert, and Fraser is the youthfully relentless pursuer-of-perceived-justice Javert. Both are exceptional, and both are honestly super good takes! You can believe either one of them to be a person that exists- heck, you may have even run into someone who fits either disposition in your own life. God, I love this show!

[@Ayyeliki]

Quast is the better baritone….!

[@KristalBrooks]

Well, Hadley is simply magnificent. His Javert sounds so powerful, and actually different from any other performer I've heard. I'm so bummed I didn't get the chance to see him and Ramin together. Hopefully, there will be other chances. Side note: I actually liked this Valjean. Never heard him before. I shall look him up.

[@kirstyharris1791]

if you look out the 25th anniversary concert of les mis you will find ramin and hadley together but as friends in the gang of youths trying to get rid of the king x

[@danarossa]

sooo, they had hadley in the cast and still chose Russell Crowe to play javert i just can't wrap my head around it

[@nbi8116]

Exactly!! Im sorry to say but Russell Crow dd not bring it in at all.. Bradley would have absolutely wonderful!

[@tyflyy]

YES YES YES I LOVE HOW HE GOES UP TO THE HIGHER NOTES JUST LIKE IN VALJEANS SOLILOQUY

[@musicalmaniac1000]

Oh my gosh, Fraser's final note!!! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! I'm used to the note that Terrance Mann (OBC) hit, but that was just AMAZING!!! I have to say, Javert's final note is one of my favorite notes in the whole musical. :D

[@MAGICLOVER8]

Im so in love with this man...

[@hadleyfraser4019]

Thank you for your continuous love and support ❤💕

[@nbi8116]

Absulte best voice ever! 🥰

[@benwilliamson7787]

2:35 is raised an octave until reprieved.

[@hernandezisabellag.7209]

the intensity of the emotions hadley put in this song though.. anger, confusion, dread, insanity, and the slight self-deprecation one of my favorite javerts (with norm and philip) :>>

[@bertiersgurl246]

I love Javert, and sometimes I'm picky about who plays Javert. Hadley has made it onto my list.

[@hadleyfraser4019]

Hadley is simply amazing!

[@chiaraiannelli8392]

god he's enthralling and his vocals are so strong and powerful... i love him

[@fatalfront]

I feel Javert so much in this music clip even without watching him perform the act. So much intensity and emotions! Hadley owned every role he took.

[@thebrideinthemirror2030]

Is there anything that this man can't do? He's so amazing and is without a doubt my favourite Javert

[@lukemcintyre6810]

I was chosen to be the army officer so all I have been doing was listening to him

[@OliviaDavidson2003]

I saw him in 2012 twice, in the same month. OMG he is freaking awesome!

[@ixaaicactus]

Wow! I didn't know he could sing like this!! Wooooooow!! Hadley

[@Jimbobman903]

The way that he shout's at 0:45 is just so epic. (And I agree, that last note is truly amazing)

[@joannmartinez8295]

is it the last one?? I thought he was going to be playing in toronto in september with Ramin. Hadley does not get enough credit for being recognized as the talented and awsome actor/singer that he is

[@zeinsad5702]

I would have given anything to be sitting right there witnessing this live, I'm in tears already and I can't imagine what it would be like to hear him hit the last note on stage. You, my friend, are unbelievably lucky and thank you so much for sharing it!

[@amandae8437]

Hadley is more like Javert's son. Philip Quast is the ultimate Javert.

[@publius8945]

Amanda E Philip Quast is my favorite, then Hadley. Love them both.

[@Ayyeliki]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6PbnGejq8p_edk 100% Philip Quast nails it and deservedly so. But Hadley is second and okay, more handsome, lol.

Definitely one of the best Javerts.

Was lucky to see him do this last year, he was the best javert I have ever seen!

Just brilliant

[@minzhao8145]

Oh my. I love him so much!

[@wanderinglizzy]

I would give anything to be able to see this live!

[@TheLemonyBard]

Good point. Besides, Javert is supposed to be younger than Valjean and of higher standing, so it might even make sense for him to have a better one.

[@MissKatieMarieRose]

That's so cool! Oh I would play all the characters if I could! It's all so brilliant. I love this musical so much!

[@Hjeagles]

I know I should probably be praising Hadley here, and he is very amazing, but I think that bit of music at the end of the song is equally amazing!!

[@michellemortimer]

Actually I think the cheering doesn't sound so good as I put it on the floor to stand and cheer with all the others. Really it was very emotional and lots of standing ovations all the way through including this one, and Stars!!!

[@saint_kitty]

Beautiful!

[@Whirlpooley]

Am I an idiot if I think that Hadley has a little too much vibrato? He's awesome, and I love his voice, but the vibrato!

[@publius8945]

Julia I personally believe his voice is amazing, vibrato and all, if you listen to others they have about the same amount.

crying crying crying crying so hard omfg Hadley

[@benweinstein3634]

This man is only second to the legendary Philip Quast

[@peterjohnson279]

I feel like I want to see Ramin and Hadley play valjean and javert, respectively, it makes sense that they would play enemy's in Les mis, considering they have already been enemies in phantom

[@AverageGamer96]

This is Great!

[@michellemortimer]

Hi. No it was David Shannon. I love Ramin as Valjean but David did a fantastic job!!

[@appleshado]

I feel like Hadley did a very different interpretation of Javert here, and I'm not sure if I like it. Musically speaking, it was executed really well, but I feel like the character Javert is more controlled, but with an underlying sense of malice, almost insanity. It seems that here he makes his anger and intensity a bit too apparent. Just my two cents.

[@bruhmoment4899]

I feel like this song is javert’s breaking point and all the stoicism and absolute belief in his ideology starts cracking which is why he loses control. He starts questioning his beliefs which results in this intense emotion and anger taking over which works in the context of this song

[@dav9612]

Probably my second favorite javert behind quast

[@naomizusawa1263]

Hadley !!!!!!!! The best Javert!!!!

[@littlelou3732]

:) omg, beside Hadley this valjean sounds so pathetic (no offense!)

[@michellemortimer]

Actually they were this time last year. Was amazing. Sorry you missed it!

[@chiaraiannelli8392]

he's. he's so fucking good.

[@DjTokenMusic]

It might now seem it, but David Shannon is a great live Valjean.

[@thatperformer3879]

Well we can all blame Russell for les mis not winning the Oscar

[@l.e.6263]

Hadley should’ve been in the movie instead of Crowe who cannot sing & didn’t fit this hardened obsessed cop hunter role; fan of Crowe, but Hadley is perfect for the role.

[@kamwrites]

He's not the first to do that. It's pretty common.

[@michellemortimer]

I know! He could so do "take an eye for an eye"!!!

[@BountyHuntFH95]

Where was Ramin in this? Whoever was Valjean still did an amazing job

[@altmail1572]

Love the performance, but is the person who filmed this seriously chewing gum? Or where does that annoying smacking sound come from?

[@leedscab123]

he is ace.

[@Restint38]

I was literall about to write almost this exact comment. Except I would disagree about the underlying insanity. Hugo really does a fantastic of making you think Javert is the villain, when he is really only doing what he has always been told is right. In his mind, Valjean is the villain.

[@Brynwyn123]

Tristen Sima Victor Hugo never wrote Javert as a villain. The negative driving force is society, Javert is just caught up on the wrong side of history and trying to do his best. He's one of Les Miserables like everyone else.

They were...Not this one but another one.

[@josephst.george7841]

Phillip quast is the voice of javert

[@Ayyeliki]

Amen, no contest but he’s older so I think more people just don’t know about him. It’s a shame..

[@LAUREN-dp7vx]

Who is the Valjean here?

[@danycruz9872]

The best Javert is Philip Quast

[@Masterpencer]

The last one that he will be doing Javert???

[@MissKatieMarieRose]

he ought to have been javert! i did not in any way fancy Russel Crowe in that part.

[@User-m9u4i]

Is ramin valjean in this?

[@aaronford2184]

I don't like the fact that he sang the middle passage up the octave. It makes it too similar to Jean Val Jean's soliloquy.

[@mike.marziliano24601]

Aaron Ford that's the point. The reason this song was written with the same melody as Valjean's soliloquy was to show that Valjean and Javert were going through similar situations. With this octave jump, Fraser just made it all the more compelling.

[@littlerickery]

2:36-2:55 !!!!

[@Ggamer509]

Well usually Valjean has a better voice...it's just what some people are used to.

[@jackbrowsing1519]

Did he lower 'reprived'?

[@jaredmogen6005]

He's great but Javert is not the role for his voice in this show. Javert's not a tenor.

[@Tomasz.Nowakowski]

Hadley is not a tenor from what I've heard in his other performances, he's more a baritone than a tenor

[@johnjcb1]

Mikishiwa I'd say Hadley is a tenor, no? Because the colour of his top range is rich and full. Here he sings A flats and B flats effortlessly, they're not forced as you might expect from a baritone.

[@Tomasz.Nowakowski]

Well he's a trained vocalist, listen to him in Phantom of the Opera, there he sings lows like a baritone would sing them

[@Jared_Alexander]

Hes a baritone. I have the same voice type as him.

[@reaganquittschreiber134]

Jared Mogen I honestly think that Hadley can sing both tenor and baritone.

[@aidank.3588]

Am I the only one not impressed with this version? I think that anger can be expressed in different and more effective ways than shouting. This sounded a little over-dramatized to me. Not trying to play down Hadley's talent, of course.

[@ironshieksmedi3049]

Philip Quast broke the mold,this guy was much better than crowds ass,you would think he would be too ashamed to take the role,has he ever heard his own voice,.I who have not seen the film if I was a fan Pryor,but it led me to quast and henshell,,mabey Russel was as oblivious as me.I love the movie with Leeiam Neesem,check it out if you liked the story,

[@Ayyeliki]

100% agree, and Quast has awards to prove it. Phenomenal!

[@HateTheEnding]

Very true!
