Shavua Tov! He crawl. Various Phantoms around the world absolutely mopping the stage. Army crawlers only. Not a speck of dust left. Roomba the heck out of that lair, my sewer man.
Featuring (clockwise from left): Ben Crawford (Broadway, 2022), John Owen-Jones (West End, 2004), Jon Robyns (West End, 2023, @shakeatradefeather, master), Ethan Freeman (Essen, 2006)
the theme for @valvertweek, “between dog and wolf” immediately made me want to do something with the song “i’m your man” by mitski. so i put together some collages with the lyrics and some brick quotes.
caps are from a west end bootleg featuring earl carpenter as javert and john owen-jones as jean valjean
This September 25, 2010 Les Miz London performance has JOJ (my favorite Valjean and arguably the best of all-time) and Earl Carpenter (my favorite Javert).
In addition to being an excellent video of the show, the YouTuber has included THE COMPLETE LYRICS (as subtitles). So if you are unsure of the full lyrics of The Confrontation, One Day More, etc., this will add to your enjoyment of the show!
The special finale of John Owen-Jones’ concert in London on Sunday 18th September. The five Phantoms are John Owen-Jones, Earl Carpenter, Ben Forster, Scott Davies & Tim Howar.
A genuinely very emotional moment getting to see these guys sing this song on the stage at Her Majesty’s again!
