Day 3. Favourite Fantine and why?

Now this is quite challenging.

So many great women have played this beautiful character on-stage, and though each one is truly amazing, my personal favorite would have to be Ruthie Henshall. Probably not the best singer of all the Fantine's, but definitely my fave to portray the character.

Day 2. Favourite Javert and Why?

Philip Quast. Period.

Oh, I have to answer the Why? part! Right. I hope this vid clip will be able to explain it.

Yes, He IS Javert.

Day 1. Favourite Valjean and why?

First question. Favorite (yes, American English spelling) Valjean and Why. 

Is this even a question? Haha!

Colm Wilkinson will always be my Valjean. And not only because he is the original Valjean, but because he personifies who and what Jean Valjean is. He is my greatest influence in playing this amazing character. His first notes for Bring Him Home (which by the way is a song that was written specifically for him) just brings me to tears every time. Simply amazing!

This is Colm now. Old, but still sooo amazing! :)
