Les Miserables 25th Anniversary-Fantine's death/The Confrontation

[@esthereckstine2532]

THIS. THIS CONFRONTATION IS SO GOOD I CANNOT EVEN. IT IS SO CHILLING. Alfie Boe and Norm Lewis are SO AMAZING

[@michaelocchipinti8265]

the best

[@eljordinio7647]

"and tell Cossette I love her, and I'll see her when I wake"- powerful line considering they're fantines last words before her death. Gets me right in the feels 😢😢

[@silverwaterbug]

'Monsieur Le'Mayor you wear a different chaaaaaiinn." - eargasm.

I AM FROM THE GUTTER TOO *score gasps*

[@Milenko00]

2:55 Just watched this for the first time a few days ago and it blew me away. Most intense 40 seconds I've ever heard. Got this and the two versions of "Look Down" on a loop. Good stuff, man.

[@tomgallowitz]

Love how the Epilogue is a parallel to this scene before the Confrontation

[@lorddeimos2000]

Why does Les Mis always make me cry?? I do not understand. I am a strong hard man!

[@jasonjayawardena8512]

+lorddeimos2000 I feel the same way

[@sabrinamcclain162]

+lorddeimos2000 Well, it is called the miserables

[@vdate]

I believe you may have drawn a false equivalency.

[@CapSkip145]

Because it's real and it's raw and there's no emotion that no one hasn't ever felt. Having lived life.

[@fairfeatherfiend]

Because it describes extremely kind people that you can't find in real life.

[@ssha9654]

This is my favorite confrontation duet because both their intensities are crazy.

[@jasper1869]

Lea is my favorite Fantine by far.

[@kingelder2]

Lea is my fav Eponine

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

My favourite Fantine is Sierra Boggess :)

[@andybobandysings]

I am warning you Javert, I'm the stronger man by far! There is power in me yet, my race is not yet run!

[@mathewhutchins2539]

+Andrew Mikolajczyk Dude, I read this literally just as the line was sung. Freaking crazy.

[@andybobandysings]

[@lea_lol6681]

THIS IS EFFN AMAZINGGGGGGG

[@giancarlocecchini7580]

I nutted when he sang that

[@ireallyhatemakingupnamesfo1758]

I always thought it was stronger man by fire, just sung chorally, but that makes so much more sense

[@philemon101]

Norm Lewis is perfect for the role

[@Abonanno24601]

I will have to say, the first time i heard this version, kind of shocked me the way they went about it. You know, when you think you've heard the best version, but then, no, you here a better one, like this. Just great!

[@rafa-kt5br]

Lea always makes me cry in this song

[@zaelryn]

My senior acting class chose this song for me and 2 others to do... Javert's part always gives me chills because I can relate so much to it. Love this scene.

[@bradster1231]

When I grow up. I want my kids to know and love Les Miserables.

[@olivetattoos98]

When Norm goes super low in "Shaaaaammmmeee!" its insane! i love this!

[@eljordinio7647]

I'm pretty sure he sang " chain", not "shame"

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

Lyrics Valjean, at last, We see each other plain 'm'sieur le mayor, ' You'll wear a different chain Before you say another word, Javert Before you chain me up like a slave again Listen to me! there is something I must do This woman leaves behind a suffering child There is none, but me who can intercede In mercy's name, three days are all I need Then I'll return, I pledge my word Then I'll return You must think me mad I've hunted you across the years Men like you can never change A man such as you. Believe of me what you will (men like you can never change) There is a duty that I'm sworn to do (men like me can never change) You know nothing of my life (no, 24601) All I did was steal some bread (my duty's to the law) You know nothing of the world (you have no rights) You would sooner see me dead (come with me 24601) But not before I see this justice done (now the wheel has turned around Jean Valjean is nothing now) I am warning you Javert (dare you talk to me of crime) I'm a stronger man by far (I'm the price you had to pay) There is power in me yet (every man is born in sin) My race is not yet run (every man must choose his way) You know nothing of Javert I was born inside a jail I was born with scum like you I am from the gutter too!

[@derekrowen4092]

isn't it m'sieur Llamert? Because that was his identity?

[@604064681]

Anyone else noticed 4:12 Javert is like singing "You know nothing you Javert" lol

[@88Hyo]

Chu Luvian you know nothing OF Javert

[@lexinunezrebel6856]

I love les miserable I know very word of each song I'm in the les misrable musical that the picketwire is putting on

[@kellyannfable1126]

Loved this live!!! ::chills::

[@RosaDeSangue1932]

This sounds so good!

4:00 I warning you Javert!

😘👌

[@kman216]

Thank you sir.

[@KGeorge319]

All I have to say is, "Wow." This musical NEEDED to be made.

[@mikedesil23]

Best version

[@kman216]

This confrontation is one of my favorite parts... Is there somewhere that has the written dialogue? It's hard to hear Valjean through most parts, but both make peek emo responses through the argument.

[@joesgurl4]

I've already seen the movie once and this just makes me want to see it again. Hopefully I won't be 3 rows from the screen again

[@danielwisniewski4005]

I've hunted you across the years. Men like you can never change. A man, such as you. *Cue awesome drums, then begin epicness*

[@umbreonespeont6]

So beautiful.

[@actingislife100]

"I am warning you Javert!" best line!!

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

i was trying to sing Valjeans and Javerts part at the same time with headphones and my mom looked aty me crazy

[@ningeek212]

No one is going to comment on Fantine's Death?

[@eljordinio7647]

Pretty sad moment in Les Mis. Fantines last words to Valjean at this point (having him telling Cosette she loves her) just get me in the feels 😢😢

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

This version doesnt have the full lyrics Cosette its turned so cold Cosette is past your bedtime You've played your day away And soon it will be night Come to me. Cosette the light is fading dont you see . The evening star appearing. Come to me and rest against my shoulder. How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder Hurry dear another day is dying Dont you hear the winter wind is crying Theres a darkness which comes without a warning But i will sing u lullabies and wake u in the morning!! This is supposed to be the full lyrics I dont why they cut it out

[@sacrecharlemagne2262]

This recording comes from an abridged anniversary concert that shortened a number of songs.

[@lm-bv1rg]

Lea, Katie and Ramin are the only ones in this cast I really like. Gavroche was pretty good too, even if I don't like his acting. Jenny Galloway was so much better in the 10the anniversary.

[@lm-bv1rg]

Julius Thome Hadley is great, I agree. Norm is vocally not outstanding, but I think he somehow fits Javert. Alfie is vocally amazing, but he doesn't fit my image of Valjean.

[@cocolee1436]

It`s moving !!!!!!

[@SnoozingtonnMusic]

I love how Javert just interjects.

[@eljordinio7647]

Was a bit confused how he knew it was Valjean here when just earlier he didn't recognize him before

[@lisamatveeva9688]

​@@eljordinio7647 This is because at this point in the book, Valjean has just publically revealed his identity. He did this because the police had caught another person who they thought was Jan Valjean, and Valjean didn't want an innocent person to go to jail because of him. The corresponding moment in the musical is "Who am I?" but it isn't clear from the song that he actually confessed and Javert heard him. Immediately after the confession, the book Valjean rushed to Fantine, who was dying, but Javert confronted him in the hospital ward. Upon learning that Valjean was a criminal, Fantine died from shock. Valjean left with Javert, and was actually imprisoned and sentenced to death, which is not in the musical. He escaped by faking his death, however, and later saved Cossette from the Thénardiers like he did in the musical.

[@eljordinio7647]

@@lisamatveeva9688 if valjean mentions Javert before revealing who he is, wouldn't that mean that Javert was there at court and DID hear the confession? Hence how he knows valjean's identity in the confrontation

[@lisamatveeva9688]

@@eljordinio7647 In the musical that is perhaps the case! In the book, everything is a bit more complicted: Javert isn't present at court because the hearing takes place in a different town, and Valjean goes there and back quite quickly without telling anyone. Some hours after Valjean's confession, Javert gets an arrest warrant for Madeleine/Valjean simply because he is an inspector with the local police. This warrant proves to Javert what he was suspecting anyway. Of course he immediately proceeds to arrest him in what becomes the confrontation scene in the musical.

[@nayoms4689]

Sounds like ON MY OWN by Eponine

[@peterquiroz8899]

arenbidiar xx Because Lea has been both Éponine and Fantine

[@nattles4397]

That's because On my own is basically a reprise of this song- That's why the instrumental and melody is similar

[@BedfastDuck]

Finally found it on musescore

[@paulzack7184]

still cant beat the 10th anniversary

[@stankhousebehindadoug9975]

Paul Zack Just did

[@emmanuelfani5385]

StankHouseBehindADoug No it didn't. It's different, more operatic, less musical. But it's still be very good

[@HaydnG266]

Matter of opinion.

[@lisagaughan7154]

The 10th Anniversary version of the Confrontation sucked imo, way too slow.

[@sabrinamcclain162]

Is there more of Javert's backstory in the book? Cause here he says that he was born inside a jail, and I'd like to know more.

[@josephcarlisle1943]

+Sabrina McClain his parents were both fugitives and his mother was pregnant at the time. so growing up in such harsh conditions javert thought it was the fugitives fault that he had such a bad childhood. he thinks that no one can change. which when push comes to shove it would be his downfall in "Javert's suicide" when he questions his own morals when jean saves marius

[@sacrecharlemagne2262]

@@josephcarlisle1943 To add to this Javert's mother was Roma (a gypsy) meaning he was born a stereotype. Growing up he knew that the world would only ever see him as the child of criminal gypsies and he could never lead a normal life. He could either live up to society's expectations and go into crime or he could go the complete opposite way and become the most harsh, exacting officer of the law France had ever seen. He obviously chose the latter. Javert himself is a victim as much as many of the other characters in the book: because of circumstances outside his control he was forced by a judgemental and uncaring society into a role it had set aside for him with no chance to live the life he wanted in peace.

there is a few but they have all the songs in a different key now. That's even worse

As much as I love Lea, Ruthie's rendition of 'Fantine's death' was better. Although, I did love Lea's version of 'On My Own'! Both are still tops in my books! Also, 10th>25th
