  • Adam Jacobs is currently starring in "Aladdin" on Broadway, but years back he played Marius in "Les Misérables," both on tour and on Broadway. Jacobs reveals the challenges of the role: the super low notes in "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and the flood of Jean Valjean spittle during "Bring Him Home." Seth encourages a demonstration of these challenges for any future Mariuses (Marii?!?) who might be watching.

    "Get into the mood - you're depressed, everyone's dead." Great way to put it

      Oh, sorry, my mistake. I listen to the version with Gareth Gates so.....
      This is all of the notes from different versions.
      1985 Original London Cast:
      Michael Ball - A2
      1987 Original Broadway Cast:
      David Bryant - A2
      1988 Complete Symphonic Recording:
      Michael Ball - A2
      1995 10th Anniversary:
      Michael Ball - A2
      2010 Cast Recording:
      Gareth Gates - Bb2
      2010 25th Anniversary:
      Nick Jonas - Bb2
      2012 Original Motion Picture:
      Eddie Redmayne - Bb2
      So..... There actually are some versions that have a Bb instead of an A.
      P.S. I personally feel the high G4/G#4 is much harder then the low A2/Bb2.

  • @willwalker24601

    When he sang that "Low Note", he actually sang a G#2... the original song requires a Bb2... so he was actually singing lower then Marius has to go.
    Plus then the high note of "CAMEEE" was a G#4, a full note lower then it would have been if he sang in the key they actually sing it in on broadway.
    So tricky...... transposing the song so it fit his range.
    So tricky indeed.

      It’s actually an A2 in the original music. I played that part and it was always my hardest note to hit each night.
