I'm guessing Terry Mann's character in Rags (the radical worker) was probably why some casting directors saw him more as an Enjolras than a Javert. Because by that time he had done a couple chorus roles (Barnum specifically), Rags and the Rum Tum Tugger, so they probably thought he wasn't as menacing as they believed Javert needed to be. Boy casting directors can get it wrong! Luckily he knew how to show him he could be Javert in the audition. And with Judy Kuhn, the casting directors probably thought she could do anything since she could belt and sing beautiful soprano. This is one of Seth & James' best episodes! Love the Randy "dying alone" story!

It amazes me how the creation of On My Own is so much like Memory, ever changing lyrics even on opening night

Thank you so much, Seth and James and these wonderful creators and cast members for bothering to get this together and share so many insider memories, omg... It's just so heartening to have these Stars In The House videos during this time of isolation when we can't be doing theatre in person... Love to you all!!

Please have a Miss Saigon reunion!! Les Mis is my favorite musical of all time though. The first one saw and forever holds my heart ❤️

It kills me how much has been trimmed and altered in the newer productions of Les Mis. Having seen the original production a few times, I was so disappointed when my now husband took me to see the reworked national tour. I’ll take the full three plus hours any day!

I saw Rags out of town in Boston and knew that Judy Kuhn was a star waiting to happen. She and Teresa Stratus were the only good things in a mess of a show.

Why did you ignore Michael? I'm sure he could have told a great barricade story! Dang.
