Les Misérables 1991 Javert's Suicide

Gary Morris as Valjean, Richard Kinsey as Javert
[VALJEAN]
Look down, Javert
He's standing in his grave
Give way, Javert
There is a life to save
[JAVERT]
Take him, Valjean
Before I change my mind
[JAVERT]
I will be waiting
24601
[Valjean carries Marius off.]
[JAVERT]
Who is this man, what sort of devil is he?
To have me caught in a trap and choose to let me go free?
It was his hour at last to put a seal on my fate
Wipe out the past and wash me clean off the slate!
All it would take is a flick of his knife
Vengeance was his and he gave me back my life!
Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase
I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
I'll spit his pity right back in his face
There is nothing on earth that we share
It is either Valjean or Javert!
How can I now allow this man
To hold dominion over me
This desperate man whom I have hunted
He gave me my life, he gave me freedom
I should have perished by his hand
It was his right
It was my right to die as well
Instead, I live... but live in hell
And my thoughts fly apart
Can this man be believed?
Shall his sins be forgiven?
Shall his crimes be reprieved?
And must I now begin to doubt
Who never doubted all these years?
My heart is stone and still it trembles
The world I have known is lost in shadow
Is he from heaven or from hell?
And does he know
That granting me my life today
This man has killed me even so?
I am reaching, but I fall
And the stars are black and cold
As I stare into the void
Of a world that cannot hold
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Jean Valjean
There is nowhere I can turn
There is no way to go on!
[He throws himself into the swollen river.]

The perfect Javert. That voice. That passion. Richard Kinsey is my favorite Javert of those I've seen and I've seen many.

[@kaceeconklin2330]

Love this Javert; very impressive!

[@flatstheflounder2884]

Did you ever get a chance to see Philip Quast perform Javert? I love the raw emotion you get from Richard's Javert, but Phillip Quast is my personal favorite portrayal so far. I've seen Les Miserables twice so far and I'm planning on going back a third time (and more if possible) when the show comes back to my area next spring

Was is not Philip Quast?

[@TopHatGacha]

Omg I love this! Shame about the water mark as this is fantastic quality 👌 Thanks for uploading

[@mspianowoman]

bone chilling. actually incredible.

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

I don't think you zoomed in enough. I could almost tell what was going on and clearly, thats not your goal. I could almost see the amazing set they built and clearly, thats not what you want either.

[@ACMallet]

I apologize for all my shortcomings.

[@brae2]

are you taking offers to purchase the musical unwatermarked? or atleast the full musical video in one piece with the watermark?

[@ACMallet]

Full video watermarked: $500. No watermark: $5,000

[@DylanSouthern]

Did he actually just jump of a bridge

[@ACMallet]

No. He stood still while the fence and bridge set was raised up and over his head.

[@DylanSouthern]

@@ACMallet oh ok it just looks so darn real

[@ACMallet]

@@DylanSouthern It was a great production. The best I ever saw.

[@DylanSouthern]

@@ACMallet yeah sadly I wasn’t alive then

[@ACMallet]

I blame your parents for that.
