Top 5 Javert Actors: 1. This guy 2. The guy from the 10th Anniversary Concert 3. The guy from the Complete Symphonic Recording 4. The guy from the 1992 Manchester Cast 5. The guy from the Hey Mr Producer concert
@@Mcfads999 he was. I’m not totally sure but I think Geoff Layton played JVJ and Ruthie Henshall was Fantine in that production. Geoff definitely JVJ in the 2000 production. The tour finished its run in Manchester with about a months run,. I had returned to uni as a mature student and worked at the Palace. It was an amazing experience. The year after Miss Saigon came. A real gent called Leo Valdez played the Engineer. He was as flamboyant in real life as he was in the stage ;-)
I love how he goes from almost reciting the lyrics as a poem to singing. It shows that his emotions get stronger and harder to suppress as the song goes on.
OMG !!!!! ... I was in the audience at the Albert Halll for the 10th Anniversery Concert - THE DREAM CAST - and had the privilege to hear Philip sing 'Stars' ... What a STAR.
Shivers up and down my spine! My favourite performance of stars from the original and best Javert. even though he’s not in costume, he just embodies Javert and knocks it out of the park with all the emotion. Nobody else compares.
Listening to him is like tasting a beautifully aged bottle of bordeaux. Certain elements have mellowed but the deep luscious notes have gained immesurable complexity. This performance is special for almost the same but also entirely different reasons... Breathtaking!!!
This masters performance of Stars is the single greatest rendition of any song I have seen in theatre and I have seen hundreds. An utterly astounding delivrry
By far the best Javert ever! With age his performance of 'stars' even became more beautiful. Full of the experience of life and the toughness it has to offer...
By far Mr favorite show and have seen it many times with many different performers. For years my favorite was Colm Wilkinson singing “Bring Him Home”. But since hearing Quast sing that in the. 10th Ann. Celebration, perhaps my favorite not just from Les Miz but of all Musical Theater. Powerful and emotional.
SUPERB! "As time goes by" but still the same. Beauty, feeling, power........and without a vibrato. Many younger singers should see, listen and learn!!!
Oh my goodness I didn’t know this existed, The Voice is still amazing!Also, just wanted to say I love the piano playing as well, what a tremendous performance
I saw them perform this version in Sydney in March 2023. The pianist is Anne-Maree MacDonald, a gifted performer in her own right. They teach at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney but have performed together a few times. PQ calls her his collaborator and has said he wouldn’t perform without her.
Remember at age 5 seeing the 10th anniversary concert performance and then again had the honor of hearing him sing this at the royal albert hall when he was in the 'Night Of 1000 Voices'. Incredible performance and so wonderful to see that he is still as amazing all these years later. The Best!
She is Anne-Maree McDonald, an accomplished singer as well. The co-teach at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. PQ calls her his collaborator and has said he wouldn’t perform these shows without her. I saw them recently (Mar 23), as part of a run of 6 performances only called The Road I Took, where he sang and spoke about songs that had influenced his life.
Not only his singing is amazing but his mannerisms of looking upwards toward the stars and showing his admiration for them.. comes off in so many different powerful ways. Philip Quast has leave a lasting impact on my soul.
Oh my god! The very best (in my humble opinion ) He can never be beaten My skin goes into goosebumps mode when I see him sing Stars He is truly amazing when he sings it Full of passion I respect all the others but to me, he's the one xxxxxxx

umm.. your no 1 and no 2 are the same... Philip Quast portrayed Javert in the 10th anniv.
don't forget
6. Phillip Quast
Saw him in the 1992 Manchester tour - sent a shiver down my spine in row D of the stalls.
I can’t believe he came to Manchester and I had never seen Les Mis before so I missed him. The best by far

“Javert... After all this time?”
“Always”
Ok that was just too good 💖
Perfect! ❤️
I love how he goes from almost reciting the lyrics as a poem to singing. It shows that his emotions get stronger and harder to suppress as the song goes on.
OMG !!!!! ... I was in the audience at the Albert Halll for the 10th Anniversery Concert - THE DREAM CAST - and had the privilege to hear Philip sing 'Stars' ... What a STAR.
Jealous!!!! Best cast
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it.
To say I’m jealous is a gross understatement
@@alyssairisss Same here!!! We just have to pretend we're there while we're watching it 😆
Omg all this time and he hasn’t lost it. This guy is amazing.
Absolutely!
His performance still gives me chills.
‘After all this time?’ ‘Always’.
Shivers up and down my spine! My favourite performance of stars from the original and best Javert. even though he’s not in costume, he just embodies Javert and knocks it out of the park with all the emotion. Nobody else compares.
He owns the role of Javert. No one comes close to playing this role so well as Philip Quast.
He is only six years older than Russell Crowe, they should've so casted him in the movie.
He would have been a million times better than Crowe.
@@nicolepatras3927or anyone!!
I got to see him do a private concert when I was studying at his old school. It was for the resigning Head. He was SO amazing.
He is still the one and only Javert to me, age has only made his voice even more powerful.
I cannot find enough words to describe this man’s greatness.
Never has a voice been as well matched to a song as this. An absolute masterpiece
@1:30 the way he speak the line "returns and return" always give me goosebump. Old but gold, Quast is the Javert king
Agree
Totally! And also "and so it is written..."
It is amazing to see how a good singing technique can maintain it in good shape! His voice is almost the same as in the 10th anniversary concert
I think he sounds even better
Listening to him is like tasting a beautifully aged bottle of bordeaux. Certain elements have mellowed but the deep luscious notes have gained immesurable complexity.
This performance is special for almost the same but also entirely different reasons...
Breathtaking!!!
Stunning talent! I could listen to him over and over!
@@Ayyeliki : I DO listen to him over and over!!!
@@bombsingaza same here. This is why ‘God Bless TH-cam’!
He is my absolute favorite Javert. His voice is incredible and goes right through me.
I saw Philip Quast as Javert in 1992 in Manchester. I had goosebumps then and no one else comes close. So happy to hear how good he still is.
His voice is the same. OMG!! so amazing. After so many years, his singing technique remains stunning as the first time I heard him.
He's amazing!
His voice is still incredible!!!.. Javert comes to life everytime he sings!!! 💖💖💖
I was so afraid to watch this because his "Stars" in 10th Anniversary is perfect. But this is just lovely. Incredible talent.
OMG he was the first Javert I saw and he will always be the BEST. Magnificent👏👏👏👏❤
Fantastic Lesley thankyou sweetheart.
He will always be myJavert. Absolute perfection.
He’s the guy I always recall as the best Javert, with or without his costume, I could tell it’s him solely because of his voice, Philip Quast!
There is no one else who does it as good as he does. Just perfect for this song. Absolutely beautiful singing.
Absolutely incredible. Philip will always be ‘JAVERT’. Effortless and powerful.
This masters performance of Stars is the single greatest rendition of any song I have seen in theatre and I have seen hundreds.
An utterly astounding delivrry
at 28 seconds ''he knows his way in the dark". You immediately know it is Philip Quast.
Saw him do this in Melbourne last year. I'd go again in a heartbeat.
I envy you.I want you to be able to travel abroad as soon as possible.
Oh did you get the chance to see him at stage door?
This voice! This rendition! And this unforgettable smile to the stars after 1:23! Philip Quast will always be the best!
Could I say - his delivery is ever as strong as when I first saw him as Javert in 1985. Brilliant.
Which is even more amazing considering he first played Javert in 1987!
He has a richness of tone that nobody else can dream of
He is the best Javert, he has the best voice have ever heard forever. And to hear his voice once again brings tears to my eyes
I was in the room for this - have genuinely never felt a more electric inhale from an audience as he began ❤ flawless
Masterclass on how to sing Stars. The one and only Javert.
I first saw him on Les Mis 10th. anniversary Concert. He is, and always be my Javert!
Absolutely stunning. The one and only Javert. What a master!
In case anybody needed reminding
Sit back and listen to the undisputed master
He is my Javert, Always.
He is absolute perfection. The one and true javert
I'm so happy to see he hasn't lost it - the greatest Javert ever!
The best Javert - the best voice - wow - rich and golden, full of passion.
He is still after Val jean!! Lol you are amazing Phillip
Phillip you have the amazing memorising voice such a talent. You and you are alone will always be javert
He's still got it, all these years later! And shout-out to the pianist, love this accompaniment 🎹
The one and ONLY Javert. Simply magnificent
By far the best Javert ever! With age his performance of 'stars' even became more beautiful. Full of the experience of life and the toughness it has to offer...
What a beautiful voice... now and then ❤❤❤.. What a gift.
Absolutely amazing. The best Javert. I love how he sings all the words and sounds the last letters with such conviction.
By far Mr favorite show and have seen it many times with many different performers. For years my favorite was Colm Wilkinson singing “Bring Him Home”. But since hearing Quast sing that in the. 10th Ann. Celebration, perhaps my favorite not just from Les Miz but of all Musical Theater. Powerful and emotional.
Saw him at The Concert Hall in Brisbane in June last year- such a beautiful voice.
Just saw this live yesterday...WOW!! Full-body chills!
SUPERB! "As time goes by" but still the same. Beauty, feeling, power........and without a vibrato. Many younger singers should see, listen and learn!!!
The definitive Javert. Nobody comes close.
Perfection. My favorite Javert
Oh my goodness I didn’t know this existed, The Voice is still amazing!Also, just wanted to say I love the piano playing as well, what a tremendous performance
I saw them perform this version in Sydney in March 2023. The pianist is Anne-Maree MacDonald, a gifted performer in her own right. They teach at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney but have performed together a few times. PQ calls her his collaborator and has said he wouldn’t perform without her.
Another stellar part of the early casting for Le Miserables. Powerful!
10주년때 콘서트 형식으로 부른 것도 정말 좋았는데 이건 더 좋네요 ㅠㅜㅠㅠ
Remember at age 5 seeing the 10th anniversary concert performance and then again had the honor of hearing him sing this at the royal albert hall when he was in the 'Night Of 1000 Voices'. Incredible performance and so wonderful to see that he is still as amazing all these years later. The Best!
I love Norm's version too but this is a step above professional. It's legendary.
Legend, what a voice gives me the chills. My favorite of all time.
Never lost a beat. incredible
Wow gosh he is still amazing
He is soooo wonderful-the best. I get goosebumps.
Absolutely wonderful. He plays this character so unbelievably well. He is a master

Still the finest ever Javert.
Timeless brilliance
Even after all this time Philip still sounds great

Are you kidding me? He is just so amazing. His voice is gold!
He is still the king! What a voice!!!
Oh what a voice , amazing , I have never heard one so powerful and controlled.
Incredible voice. I love his voice!
Brilliant. And the accompanist is superb.
Yeah, she saved his ass ‘cause he was racing.
What a legend. Beautiful voice.
Like good wine, he only gets better with age.
This musical soliloquey still gives me that same goosebumps I first had when I listened to that younger Philip Quast
A true master! What a pleasure to see him again!
Could muleteer
Y magnificent. The best Javert ever, so completely enthralling, riveting performance. Will never ever be beaten.
He’s still got it, best Javert ever!!!
I love Philip quast so much man, I cant tell if I prefer this version of the song, or the normal 10th anniversary version?
Can we get some props for the accompanist here? Amazing
She is Anne-Maree McDonald, an accomplished singer as well. The co-teach at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. PQ calls her his collaborator and has said he wouldn’t perform these shows without her.

62 years old. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what proper and secure vocal technique looks like. The voice is essentially unchanged from the 1990s.....
for it is written, that Philip Quast is the one Javert
Stars is Javert. Quast is Stars. Quast is Javert!
Still my favorite Javert.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Not only his singing is amazing but his mannerisms of looking upwards toward the stars and showing his admiration for them.. comes off in so many different powerful ways. Philip Quast has leave a lasting impact on my soul.
Thank you Philip.
Absolutely amazing, there will never be a better Javert.
Thanks for sharing. Still the best Javert ever.
Philip Quast is the BEST Jalbert ever!!!! His voice is incomparable and force unto itself!!! Love him!!!!!
I mean just look how far away he is from the mic. It's incredible!
Amazing !!! Don’t stop singing …
