generally i'm still pretty anti-singing live for movie musicals just bc filming schedules are generally so gruelling that even pro theatre performers would find it grueling however. the stark difference in quality between les mis and wicked actually so insane.

#a lot of it comes down to the post-production and a LOT more vocal production was done for wicked. however at the end of the day cynthia and #ari are just house down pros whereas the main cast for les mis was. vocally speaking. not #and ik hugh jackman has a huge theatre resume. however him saying he didn't drink water for 36 hours so he'd look emaciated just shows a #clear lack of understanding of the vocal mechanism and imo a lack of care abt the sound #maybe he was going for a more emaciated sound but that's not the point.#like the only people who sound good in the les mis movie are the barricade boys and sam barks #but even then i didn't even like her on my own that much. but that's not on her as much as the multiple hours of shooting in the rain while #singing live. like no wonder she mix belted instead of full belting the woman was exhausted. but it just loses its power and makes her seem #defeated when she's really quite angry. and i've HEARD her full belt the climax of it and it's so much more moving. idk #les mis movie they'll never make me glad it was sung live
