I just witnessed his portrayal of Javert, and it left me breathless. A brilliant actor and singer, and perfect for the role.

Les Mis has some of the most complex characters in musical theater, in my opinion of course. This song just reminds me to really think about Javert and why he does what he does, and this has to be one of the most beautiful renditions of this song that I have ever heard. Just wow.

Did you see him at the Fisher theater? If so, do you remember which day? I was able to catch the show twice at the Fisher and I'm hoping to go again when the tour comes to Grand Rapids next March

@@flatstheflounder2884Preston and this show are FANTASTIC. I’m trying to get tickets for Les Mis when it comes to Grand Rapids as well. Do you have any idea when the pre-sale tickets will come out? I am trying to get really good seats. I already got my tickets through the pre-sale for Wicked when it comes to Detroit in January/February 2024. Trying to do the same for Les Mis. It’s a wonderful work of theatre.

Great voice but no passion. Still wet behind the ears and passion or life experience of the character shows in his voice.

I agree. I've seen and heard many Les Miz productions and I just saw the national tour. They were all excellent technical singers, but none had the passion. I liked the Thenardier interpretation - Matt Crowle. It was fresh.

Javert is my favorite character in Les Mis in the year 2024. We have spent practically 60 years in the west preaching about MORE rights and MORE understanding and I think we are clearly in a time where MORE duty and MORE sacrifice in the name god almighty are needed (FYI I am not a christian and haven't been to church in two decades so that is not about my supposed christian fundamentalism because I'm not that guy). I totally understand that there is a time and place for unyielding conviction for law and for order and we live in a time of way too many (false) Val Jeans and way too much understanding so Javert is to me a beacon of law and righteousness in a time when the west lacks law and order. More Javerts are what are needed right now in our failed society.
