Playing Valjean, the saddest part for me is my own death. Valjean's death I mean. Call me narcissistic but it's my most favorite scene to perform. Every single time I've performed that scene, I just can't hold back my tears. From my first lines, "Alone, I wait in the shadows..", my tears start to fall down as if on cue.
I've seen so many Valjean's doing this scene, but the performance that's always on my mind is Colm Wilkinson's. Every time I do this beautiful scene, I try to channel Colm while pulling out all the raw emotions within me.
Valjean saying his goodbye's to Cosette, while being welcomed by Fantine, Eponine and all those who died at the barricade. Just beautiful ♥
