Maybe someone can start a new thread when the movie opens or the first reviews come out?

My mom is going to be sad. When we saw Les Miz on Broadway when I was a kid, she looooved our Javert. He had such a beautiful baritone.

I never understood, why Russell Crowe? He just doesn't feel like Javert.

When I think of someone playing Javert, I think of Alan Rickman but I don't know if he can sing?

Oooh! As an actor - perfect! But, I don't know if he can sing either. I don't understand why they didn't get one of the Javerts from one of the anniversary performances (10'th please Originally Posted by Twilight1

Love Samantha Barks. Loved her in "I'd Do Anything," loved her in the 25th Les Miz anniversary concert. Originally Posted by Gazpacho

Me neither. It's too weak. Hilariously, she's also supposedly had "opera training" but it was probably the same kind of training that Emmy Rossum got. Originally Posted by pollyanna

Not loving Amanda Seyfried's voice, however.
Barks is fabulous as she was in the stage version also. Seyfried is just dreadfully miscast here. She has neither the range, quality of tone or warmth in her voice to do the role justice. What WERE they thinking? It's like she's doing Mamma Mia in a corset and fancy frock!! Why on earth didn't they ask someone like Sierra Boggess who is also a name in the UK due to the POTO 25th anniversary concert where she was so brilliant opposite Ramin Karimloo. And while we're at it WHY is Ramin not playing Enjolras in this film???
Still haven't watched the movie version of Sweeney Todd - it's my favourite show; I performed in a pro version infornt of Sondheim himself so I cannot cope with the totally lame vocals from the principals. I really hope this amounts to more.Inspiring Mirai Nagasu!

Sierra and Ramin
Maybe they are too old for these roles?

He has sung in a few movies. He's not the best singer, but he gets by. I don't know if he has the voice for Stars and Javert's other songs, though.
Give me one more quiet night, before this loud morning gets it right, and does me in.

Trying not to expect too much from the singing so that I won't be horribly disappointed

Aaron Tveit is absolutely wonderful! But he does appear to have bad 80s hair from the footage?
Alan Rickman sings in Sweeney Todd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgUY541koiY
Don't know that he would be the ideal Javert either but
: in that preview Russel Crowe sounds even worse than I was afraid he'd sound.
I don't understand how they got good or great singers for most of the big singing roles - and they get Russel Crowe.

Crowe does sound a bit goofy, doesn't he?

Yes. You can find some of it on YouTube.

I have a very bad feeling about this movie.
I think it is going to be really bad.
I hope and pray not though.

I was trying to get the link to the video of Brian Pockar skating in one of Toller's shows over in the thread at GSD and couldn't get to work, so had brought up the main YT page. Under my recommendations, as I've got the Official Les Mis movie channel as one of my favourites, was this...

Now *that's* one heck of a Wedding Present from your Friends. The guy who does Valjean's parts is really good.
