Well, I read your post...Oooh, I love long comments!<br />Well, I read your post about getting to see the show live and ever since I've been meaning to look up Andrew Varela. I haven't actually gotten to do it yet, but I'll let you know what I think when I listen to him. :)<br />Heehee. That sounds like fun. You and Petie's Michael Ball posts is one of my favorites ever. :)<br />Well. I actually don't think that Kaho Shimada did a better job than Lea or Samantha. I do really like her voice and portrayal, but mostly I stick with her 'cause she was my first Eponine and I'd never be able to decide which Eponine I liked better out of Samantha and Lea otherwise.<br />I'll try to listen to Jason Forbach and let you know what I think, but I do really, really like MM's portrayal as well.<br />AARON TVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT!!!!!!!!!!!! *melts into a puddle of fangirlism*<br />Hehehe...who doesn't love the barricade boys?? ;)<br />Thanks for commenting! :)Miss Jane Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990860661370730793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977260245567214734.post-2572343904695353342013-09-28T18:21:33.764-05:002013-09-28T18:21:33.764-05:00"Colm Wilkinson just seems to be Valjean in a..."Colm Wilkinson just seems to be Valjean in a way no other Valjean has." BRAVO. YES. Very true. :D I don't particularly care for Gary Morris on the CSR (I think he was trying too hard to sound like Colm) but I do like Alfie Boe and Hugh Jackman for various reasons, and John Owen-Jones on the 25th Anniversary Cast Recording is realllllly good too.<br /><br />Philip Quast is THE Javert. Yes. World without end, amen. However, you should get yourself to YouTube with all possible speed, m'dear, and listen to a recording of Andrew Varela's Stars and Suicide. He is PHENOMENAL. Definitely my second favorite (and a pretty high second at that). I had the privilege of seeing him live in January and he was hands-down the best performer in the show.<br /><br />Anne Hathaway is great. Totally deserved that Oscar. Yes.<br /><br />Love your ranking of the Cosettes and YES about Amanda's singing-- but she did indeed add depth to the character. <br /><br />MICHAEL BALL MICHAEL BALL MICHAEL BALL! *fangirls* Haha, I clicked the link thinking it was an old post of yours I hadn't seen yet... and then I was like, "ohhhhh, this is familiar." Heehee. <br /><br />Okay, I have to disagree on Kaho Shimada's Eponine... I think she's way too whiny for the part and makes Eponine sound like a brat some of the time. But Samantha Barks and Lea Salonga are indeed great. :D<br /><br />AAAAAAAARON TVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT.<br />*falls into a heap of fangirly feels*<br />I agree with all your ranking except I'd put Jason Forbach as third because he was My Enjolras in the show I saw and he was just SOOOOOOOO GOOD.<br /><br />And I seriously agree with all the other choices. To a T. I have a hard time choosing between Hadley and George for Grantaire too, but ultimately you're right, George is closer to brick-Grantaire. Always a good thing. :D And Combeferre is definitely my favorite barricade boy.<br /><br />Sigh. I love the barricade boys. <br />But... I think you already knew that. <br />;)Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977260245567214734.post-41590995834359320002013-09-25T12:38:19.591-05:002013-09-25T12:38:19.591-05:00Thank you!
