@IDontWannaBeReminded I think that Americans are a race. From what I have heard, they are a "genetically superior breed that comprise of substrates of generations old of valor, competitiveness, ambition and prowess through centuries of artificial selection. Americans are not just a nationality - they are the vanguard of human evolution and are recently only categorized as a race." (Ambi et al., 2008).
@tobysblogs And I am sure the french think that the british version is shit, seeing as a frenchman wrote it, and seeing how ironic it is that the characters are supposed to french, but they have british accents. Just saying. who cares if the singing isnt as good? I think that the british version of wicked it terrible.
That was was bleeding awful bloody amercians they can never do it properly . Very poor singing voices . No Passion or emotion in the singing . I am not suprised this cast was no booed off stage this version is an inslut to the Great Les Miserables .
@KaiGoesLol Excuse me I am 21 and I love this musical to bits I listen to most the songs everyday and this version is total shit compared to others . The Americans can not to Les Miserables properly , I have seen Les Misserables in the Westend and the Singing performances were 100% better . How can you compare this shit to the Brilliant voice of Ramin Karimloo or Afie Boe , This is totally shit and if you think its good your tone deaf .

@TheAngelofmusic12345 I am not racist as americans are not a race . Maybe they should listen to how the brits do it and then copy that rather than have this pathetic weak performance . Wheres the emotion and wonder singing . I am sorry I have watched a few performances of Les Miserables online with americans doing it and they should like strangled cats . From What I have seen the Americans can't do it properly .
oh my god it's been like 5 years since i last listened to les mis!! and somehow i just happened to stumble across this... i can't believe i forgot about all this great stuff!!!
When I was real little, my father would play this album in his Camry back in the days of cassettes. This song and "Castle on a Cloud" to this day remain my favorites.
@LadyAlzers But it was with good intentions! I mean, you're starving and you've got a kid to feed - what do you do? Just let them starve? No; you get food any way you can, even if it does mean stealing!
One thing that Terrence brought to this scene that I appreciated and so many Javerts never did is the sheer fury. Most deliver this calmly or in stern manner. Mann's crazy fury here makes his obsessive tracking of Valjean throughout the play seem even more believable and has an urgency right off the bat rather than after Valjean's courthouse confession, which is the point which traditionally begins to show Javert's growing resolve to catch the petty theif. And the orchestration here is missed =(
awww i can still remember the first time i heard this.i was like 12! i still LOL pretty hard at the way javert says "NO" to valjean. XD anyway this is the most epic overture ever. les mis freak for life.
Yes, it's awesome! Like, the way Javert says "NO!!" in this version, he seems so...exasperated! Like, "What?? NO!! You're a convict! Where on Earth did you get THAT idea? ...Free....ha!"
Sorry, I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, and now it's absolutely killing me. I love it! xD
Yea! I am so glad someone posted the original broadway cast version. This was the first version I remember listening to many years ago. Love this stuff!
@MrVvilku A 'fangirl' is a girl who is very enthusiastic about something. Adding a -ness to the end is like...saying "The needy person is very obvious with his /neediness/". So, fangirl + ness = fangirlyness.
...This is not the original Broadway Cast! I'm so disappointed

1) How can one be racist against Americans? As far as I know, American isn't a race.
2) You could say that this is crap compared to the print version (which I am not, js).
3) STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS!

@MultiBelle22 Yes, I know that.
But in the eyes of the law, it didn't matter if he had good intentions. He still stole something, and Javert had to punish him for it.
