    To all those who have said such nice things about my performance - thank you very much. To those of you who had issues with it, I'll try to do better for you. :) So come on out and see Les Mis one more time. Also, this was my first time singing this on TV with a camera about 3 feet from my face, so I was a bit nervous. Maybe I can do it better now. ;)

      I loved it. I saw you yesterday in Chicago and the show was outstanding. You are indeed a wonderful Javert. Great voice!

      I had the privilege of seeing you two weeks ago in Chicago, and I honestly was blown away by how amazing your performance was.

      I am going to see the tour again this year but wish you were still in it. You put so much passion and acting into it the way it SHOULD be!! Keep doing your thing. such a great performance!

    I just saw this guy in Charleston play Javert and he is absolutely amazing. Wonderful performance.

    I love the way he holds those long notes toward the end! It sounded even better in the show with a full orchestra! I hope he reprises his role when the tour comes back around!

    I saw him in San Diego last May and this man brought me tears when he sang this on the stage. When I met him after at the stage door, I nearly started crying while telling him how much I already loved Javert but how he made me love Javert even more and that he did this role I love so much justice. He thanked me profoundly, shook my hand, and introduced himself like a perfect gentleman and I was SOLD on him as an actor and man immediately.

      Rebecca Radillo I met him as well and he’s so humble and kind ! You’re right he was so incredible and made me feel sympathy and love for Javert to an extent I never felt before .

    I agree that this does not do him justice. I saw him in Syracuse last night and he was absolutely amazing. His voice is so powerful!!!

    This performance does not do him justice. Saw him in Cleveland and he was AMAZING - he was so much more dynamic then this. Trust me, go and see him!

      This comment was made a year ago. All i am saying maybe he sounds different is because this is only sung with a piano instead of orchestra. The room in this video has enough sound...maybe

      Sorry but that title has to go to Philip Quast. Just saw the new production and Davis is pretty good.

    • @chrispowers5063
      @chrispowers5063 6 лет назад +2

      I'm not sure how long he will be on tour, but I hope that he's that for your stop! This Les Miserables tour appears to be a limited run tour with a set amount of stops, and with tours like this, they usually have the same cast throughout.

      I saw him at DPAC last month. My friend and I were completely enraptured. He was a PHENOMENAL Javert.

      Came to find him because I just saw his Javert in Connecticut and was BLOWN AWAY. Third time seeing it and he just OWNED the role. Wonderful! Will be looking out for him in the future. ADBL

    One of my biggest issues with a lot of Broadway singers is that they use such heavy vibrato you can’t even tell what note they’re singing sometimes

    • @tianajoiner7852
      @tianajoiner7852 5 лет назад

      Ben F I know, it’s aggravating. Another reason why I love Philip Quast’s Javert so much - he just sings it straightforward and can actually hold a full, steady note.

  • @nikobutterbar928
    @nikobutterbar928 5 лет назад +1

    I gotta say, I saw him live and I didn't like his rendition of Stars. I just think there was too much vibrato, and the technique took over for the actual acting that I feel is supposed to take place. Watching this video I feel the same. He's a great performer technically, and his other numbers were grand. But I played Javert and researched his character and, while the character is open to interpretation, I just feel like Josh didn't get the emotion across that Stars needs to be a truly great number.

  • @anon201
    @anon201 6 лет назад

    He was so good I just wish he wasn’t so sharp in his lower register. The entire first act he didn’t sing a single low note correctly.

    • @MrSean24601
      @MrSean24601 6 лет назад

      Anon you might have seen him on an off night, because when I saw him he hit it all out of the park. Especially his low F in “Confrontation.”

    • @Mia_Buchignani
      @Mia_Buchignani 6 лет назад

      I really don’t know if he hit one note correctly in the first act last night in SF.

    • @joshuadavis6574
      @joshuadavis6574 5 лет назад +3

      @@Mia_Buchignani I'm pretty sure I hit at least one note correctly. :) But I agree, doing the show 8 times a week for almost two years now, sometimes it's easy to drift away from the score. I recently revisited the score again and spent some time with all those notes Id missed ;) - Thanks for coming to see the show!

  • @justis2061
    @justis2061 6 лет назад

    I saw him tonight in Les mis. It was the worst portrayal of Javier I've ever seen. Hell I'd rather watch the movie version. He ruined my night. Please add some emotion. Too robotic.

    • @markbockenstedt136
      @markbockenstedt136 6 лет назад +8

      Jeremiah Justis he played javert not Javier. There isn't even a character named javier

    • @haleymcoyle
      @haleymcoyle 6 лет назад +15

      Weird, I thought he was the BEST Javert I’d seen live. He was perfect. Stoic, imposing, silently intimidating. This guy nailed the novel Javert to a T. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it.

    • @justis2061
      @justis2061 6 лет назад +1

      Mark Bockenstedt I'm so sorry that my small mistake confused you so much. It must have taken hours for your brain to figure out that I meant Javert. Either way it was a horrible performance in my opinion.

    • @katrenakeys2290
      @katrenakeys2290 6 лет назад +4

      I thought he was the best Javert that I have seen. In fact I am impressed with the whole cast. Musically, he nails the part and thought his portrayal fit the character perfectly.

    • @Mia_Buchignani
      @Mia_Buchignani 6 лет назад

      I was thinking the exact same. The entire first act: “what key is this dude singing in?”
