It is very clear that Nick Jonas isn't as trained as the rest but his voice fits so well for the story, it sets you in the atmosphere of young and innocent first love, something i couldn't really feel before. I love it People who don't get i encourage you to just listen to audio, sounds great

@somethingoldish76967 ай бұрын
I feel like his vocal style is just very different from that of musical theatre. It just sounds more like pop music, which is what he typically sings. Like @attackfox mentioned, I agree that he just needs to have clearer diction, which I feel he could achieve by opening his mouth more.

Katie Hall is awesome, for sure my favourite Cosette. She brings so much personality and depth to Cosette which can definitely be lacking in the previous performances I’ve seen. Her singing is gorgeous also, especially in this song and her verse in “In my life”; she really threads the needle of hitting the notes she’s supposed to and letting her soprano shine through without sounding shrill at all. Colour me impressed!
@SWGpittsburgh4 ай бұрын
Agreed! So hard to get any depth in Cosette because the musical book didn’t give her any. So the actress really have to give it all through voice.

Okay but can we just talk about how Samantha Barks looks so DEVESTATED with essentially ONE expression? Like I get why people gravitate towards Lea but in the 10th anniversary she doesn't convey the same level of emotion. Maybe jealous, almost looked pouty in the 10th anniversary version of this. Samantha's acting makes me feel her heartbreak like no other Eponine.

Yes, all three can sustain a tune. However, I feel that they didn’t do this song justice in their delivery. Nick especially, his execution of this song lacks the conviction of a character like Marius in Love with Cosette. His singing is pedantic and is not dynamic whatsoever. It’s “high school” quality at best. Like one who commented in this comment thread, he was the weakest voice in this cast. It’s so cringe worthy!!! If you’re sharing the stage with greats like Ramin Karimloo, Lea Salonga, Allie Boe and Norm Lewis, you best be stellar as well. I question producers of productions like this as there is WAY BETTER TALENT out there. Showcase those singers, instead of of people with “star power” and a pretty face.

I'm more upset that Jonas was billed over salonga. How you gonna do that? Pop over theatrical for a theatrical concert? She was the very first eponine I saw. I was a senior in hs, I believe 93/94ish. I get he's a pop star but that's not the demographic they should have been targeting....unless they were trying to lure some new demographic... then it kinda makes sense. He wasn't awful by any means but he certainly shouldn't have been top billing compared to other theatrical performers in this concert!

Excuse me for what I'm about to say, but Nick Jonas is not up to the task. In the movies and of course in the play they put an opera singer or something similar. Here's a pop singer who can't hit the notes. The result: it sounds strange, and out of tune, there being so many people, I don't understand why they chose him.
