Why did you feel the need to type that all in Caps Lock? Seriously, what the heck?

Randal Keith (period) He is brilliant in the role and BY FAR the best to sing to date.

Why are you yelling at us?

I like both Colm and Takeshi Kaga, from the Japanese Red Cast (of course, in Japanse, he's 24653, but that's beside the point).

Randal Keith was an amazing Valjean.

Colm Wilkinson hands down

Craig Schulman is amazing as well.

Randal Keith.

Also, I wouldn't type in all capitals here if I were you.

Colm Wilkinson...totally.

BUT, I also love the Australian cast's Anthony Warlow - he is brilliant, though I have only heard parts.

COLM WILKINSON.

But I've only really heard him and Gary Morris and um... yeahhhhh... XD

Over here we use that one too, Zoneace, but we just say 'YER MA'. It adds the 'knacker' effect.

And I don't get the 24653 thing. Was that a joke of which I missed the point or is it actual Japanese numbering?

Colm Wilkinson.

Or in your language: COLM WILKINSON!

[Alex LaVelle]

They changed the number in Japanese. It's ni yon roku go san, which translates as 24653. My guess is its because the "ah" in san is not nearly as rough on the throat as trying to hold the "ee" in ichi, which is 1.

On that note, I also need to throw in that I'm looking forward to Gemignani as Valjean.

I loooove Colm but think I prefer Gary Morris

In high school, my school ID number was 24601.

So I say me.

Honestly, I havn't seen one bad Valjean in my multi-times viewing of the show.

Sideshow Bob! On The Simpsons, he's prisoner 24601.

Seriously, both Colm Wilkinson and Randal Keith are great, but Randal's the only one I've seen live (and his singing voice is amazing - his supposed baritone makes you think he won't hit the big notes, but then he does beautifully/powerfully and you're blown away), so I'll go with the latter.

Randal Keith. :dies:

Colm Wilkinson. I too am excited to see Alex in the role. I saw the other day and I held myself back from talking to him about the show.

Posted: 8/2/06 at 8:29pm

I love Colm Wilkinson but I saw Tim Shew in the part and he was pretty dang amazing.

[Me2]

Posted: 8/2/06 at 8:32pm

Randal Keith was amazing.

[DezBryner]

Posted: 8/2/06 at 8:46pm

Another vote for Randal Keith

Colm.

His "Bring Him Home" gives me chills.
