I saw Les Mis live with a local cast and it was INCREDIBLE. Every one of those actors and actresses could be on Broadway. Our thetare was in the round with a fairly deep backstage area beneath the stage so they literally had Javert jump off the bridge and fall like ten feet down into the darkness. Absolutely nuts. The whole theatre gasped aloud

I grew up with the '87 Terrance Mann recording, so that's naturally where my mind hears Javert (such a powerful voice, this clip doesn't quite do it justice!) but Michael Ball has such a gritty creepiness to it, it gave me chills... Bradley Jaden did a very neat thing with bringing the scream up higher at first and very, very slightly down to pitch... Will Swensen sounds visceral... Drew Sarich went full on scream, (wow!)... I think my favorites would have to be Quast and Mann. I really want to see Michae Ball now, though! They make it still sound like Stars, but distorted, and when the scream resonates with the chord from the background music, it's heartbreaking and amazing.

I like the versions that scream the last bit. There's more horror in it. As he is killing himself. I also keep thinking of star trek deep space nine. The Maquis leader Michael Eddington was obsessed with Les Miserables and called Sisko, Javert. On some level saw this as Sisko's fate. Instead Eddington dies fighting by his side; but he still went out as a hero.

Phillip Quast 100% for sure. His singing voice in that role, up until Javert's Soliloquy /Suicide, was aggressive, authoritative, and arrogant. He would have a hell of a drill seargent. But during the Soliloquy, you see a more sensitive human side of Quast's Javert, wrought with emotion, doubt, fear, and confusion. For the first time, you see Javert really vulnerable and uncertain in a way that starkly contrasted with his normal arrogant, aggressive, haughty behavior. Phillip Quast nailed all aspects of his character through singing.

Quast is the clear number 1 A lot of these got butchered by bad audio quality; Secomb, Ball, and Jaden all seemed like they had good performances, but were coming through a potato. A good number more were brought down by the actor trying way too hard to sell the emotion. Sarich was COOKING until he banshee screeched the last "On" I think Crowe's more subtle expression of Javert's combined resignation and resolve (along with a much better recording) gives him a leg up over a lot more of the competition than he's usually given credit for.
