My god, Barry James can change character for whatever role he's playing. He's the best Monsieur Firmin in Phantom and he's actually the best Thenardier ever.
i love him in this but i dont know what he was doing during the csr, he sounded like he had a rat shoved up his ass and was struggling to breath not to mention gay sopper who sounded like a mouldy old granny, they werent even funny on the csr they just sounded like people struggling to sing, cant say that any more, i loved that performance
@DrinkOmally Personally, I thought James and Sopper were the best Thernadiers I've heard, as they're the first ones I've heard that come off as truly repulsive and leacherous characters instead of just the comic relief, which I think works a bit better for the show.
i was agreeing that he was a AMAZING CHOICE. Alun makes it 2 funny Barry threw in the thenardier cruelty with his. Barry should have been the TAC thenardier.
Remember it took almost 2 years to make the CSR and london had been running for almost 4 years he might have been Alun replacement so this could be early in his career

Um...He was. (or are you just agreeing that he was a good choice). He SHOULD have been in the TAC instead of Alun. Barry's got ten times the talent.
Hey, PHANTOMfan, when was this? He looks a lot older than he did on stage by stage and sounds a lot older than he did in the CSR...
