another thought. I have performed the role of Javert with CYC and I think a big part of this show is based on the main characters perceptions of god. Valjeans god is forgiving, Javerts is not, and Thernardier does not believe in god.
Javert is an amazing powerful man, you must have one hell of a voice to play him. I love when he sing "Stars" Best of luck playing Thenardier he was always my favorite.
I personally like the voices not being in cockney. Its a french play done in english and other than showing their standing in society, I don't really see why that character would have one. While Thernardier is the bad guy of the show, I am currently rehearsing to play the role and I want to play him as a normal man trying to get by as best he knows and can do in a tough society.
You're voices are a little proper for your respected characters, but you both sing amazingly! The chorus was a little soft, but we could still tell what they were saying (or else that's just me because I know the words). My highschool is doing Les Miserables and I play Madame Thenardier. My friend Dan will be playing Thenardier. Do you have any suggestions for us about preforming? I mean, you already have experience preforming the parts, and I've never been in a HS production, so I was wondering
you guys have really good voices but you didnt really get into character. i know how hard it is cause i played madame thernardier. i'd love to see you in something else cause you can tell that your very talented. all in all it wasnt bad well done!!
I agree with you babbagecabb. If you study Thenardier's backstory, he was in the Napoleanic Wars, and arrived "late" to Waterloo. He then crawled through the dead bodies, like Dog Eat Dog. That's why he's a gruff character.
i love al lthe action in this, some school productions only the person tlaking is moving, so boring, this is great with visual jokes and more, 5 stars
This is great! Lots of original blocking that's creative, and awesome characterization. Pity about the sound quality from that camera, though. The biggest thing I noticed is that you're moving in a more real, convincing way than most high school Thenarediers I've seen, including me. Five stars!
Wow, I thought Madame Thenardier was in this song too!?
Oh wait, I forgot, I don't get a name, I'm just the wife.
It's okay Jimmy I'm not insulted that you omitted my name completely, I don't want people knowing this terrible performance was me anyway. I seriously don't know how I got the part.
