Thank you Earl for all these years playing Javert ! Happy trails and on to the next adventure !

Since Earl Carpenter’s my first live Javert, I thought it fitting to commemorate this. I was initially going to do it as a painting, but then decided it should be in harsh black and white, since it’s pretty much what Javert’s world is like. Also, comicbook-like inking is fun. ;)

Earl Carpenter - Les Mis Singapore Interview - by TheWickerMoss
I saw Les Miserables in Manila a few days ago and it was 👍 👍 👍 I’m still in the fever. Then I realized I actually like Javert’s character, he was somewhat “sheltered” in a way and I was very fortunate to have watched Mr. Earl Carpenter play that role, he was awesome! (and I think I even became a fan)
and bec of that I wanna try musical theater, i really doSo here’s a doodle :)

Another of the 25th Anniversary direction that I’m a huge fan of is the big change in blocking during the Confrontation. It’s one of those things where I find the physicality a lot more intense, it visually feels a lot more visceral, I feel more invested in how dangerous a situation Valjean is actually in being literally thisclose to arrest by Javert and then in the end where he almost strangles him but stops himself, with this disgust with himself that it had even come to that.
The other great change that I’ve talked at length about is of course Fantine’s wig in the Finale.
