@@rideoutsean One of the greatest voices ever to grace a stage anywhere. "Bring Him Home" wouldn't exist without that golden tenor voice. Thank you, Colm Wilkinson.
The second we left the cinema my whole family said "who the hell was the police officer, he had the best voice of everyone". Makes total sense now it's Hadley.
This must be the first time I've ever heard Hadley speak as himself and not as a character because that is NOT the speaking voice I expected to come out of him. I really don't mean it in a bad way, but as deep and powerful as his singing voice is, I didn't expect him to sound so normal and unassuming when he spoke. I actually like it a lot.
I know right?!? He has such a soft, calm speaking voice, yet when he sings his voice is so powerful and rich. I'm always amazed when I listen to the contrast.
Hadley may not be the best singer in the movie, but he surely is better that most of the main cast... The best singer in this movie would be mr. Colm Wilkinson, who sadly was playing only the role of the bishop
I agree on him being the best singer in the movie, what an amazing voice, i've been rewatching that scene over and over just to listen to it! However I don't mind that it was so short, he sang in the musical, this is the movie, they don't have to be exactly alike. And even if the actors here weren't as good singers, some were still great.. I actually really liked the singing of Hugh Jackman, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit and many of the students who had like one or two lines
Hadley sings this with such emotion. His gorgeous baritone in 'you have no chance no chance at all' gives me goosebumps every time. Such a shame they felt the need to cast famous Hollywood actors as the main parts. Maybe they could remake the film for all us West End fans.... I can imagine what a superb cast they could have
Sarah Woolley I agree but also I mean like the movie was still pretty good in my opinion; I think what it did was prove to the "normal" part of society that isn't obsessed with musicals that musicals can actually be cool 'cause they're like, "Oh there's somebody famous that I already like and they're doing a musical so now I think musicals are cool!" And it also gave those actors a chance to prove that they were able to do different stuff than they usually do. But I agree that it's not the best version. :/ ~:~
Natalie Harshman I hope you're right - yes it does make a musical as intense as Les Mis more appealing to non musical fans. Maybe they all watched it and thought 'Crowe and Jackman couldn't sing but that Army Officer.......'!!!
Haha I was like 'whaaaaa????' when he started talking cause I'm so used to hearing him with a deeper voice in the Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables on stage.
If it helps, that Hadley's Grantaire was shot as well, so they've all been killed. It's just one of you babies pretended to be on the opposite side, probably so he wouldn't have to die again.
Holy crap! One of my fav parts in the movie was this one scene where the officer sings "you have no chance...no chance at all! Why throw your lives away?" I hear it in the other versions and it still didnt hit me the way this scene did. And I never knew it was Hadley!! Wow!!
Hadley Fraser had to audition? Now that's funny! He should be performing the role of Javert rather than Russell Crowe, who just crowed the songs! Fraser is so good!
Hell, he could have played more or less ANY part in that trainwreck better than the Hollywood names that were cast! Can you say Ramin Karimloo as Valjean and Hadley Fraser as Javert?!? With Colm Wilkinson, who will always be the original Valjean giving his blessing as the Bishop? HELL YEAH!!! Dream team!
@MEanME If it's a musical, then YES, it's all about the fucking *MUSIC!* They need to cast actual *stage actors* if the morons in Hollywood want to keep making movies of big musicals and have them not suck! Because your movie *will* suck unless your entire cast is able to sing and act at the same time, at the highest level of excellence. If you want big Hollywood names, prepare for a piece of shit movie that theatre fans will actively mock.
I originally watched this movie because of Hugh Jackman. I watch it now because of Hadley, Killian, Fra and the rest of the barricade boys. I also love the 25th anniversary concert with the exception of Nick Jonas. I wish they had picked a better Marius.
+Sarah Woolley because he was Nick Jonas. The star power he had back then was INSANE!!!! And I'm sure a lot of the people that watched it back then watched it because of him.
shinryuken0 I watched it BECAUSE of him. I think a lot of people hate because he doesn't have a "musical theatre" voice. Which is funny considering he started on broadway.
I watched the Les Miserables movie months before I found out who Hadley Fraser was (I fell in love with his Raoul in the 25th POTO anniversary and have been actively fangirling ever since) and during the barricade scene I remember being like, “woww this army general guy is overqualified…and really handsome” lol. Although he had such a minor role in the movie (and although I believe he should’ve been casted for a larger role!!), his scene was one of the most memorable to me. Really goes to show how talented Hadley is, singing-wise AND acting-wise.
The movie was my first acquaintance ever with the musical. And I absolutely seriously had been convinced up until Hadley's few lines that the whole cast were great singers. I was speechless when I first heard him. I don't mean they are horrible. But they just are not anywhere near this level
Did anyone notice he also played a certain "Vicomte de Changy" in a certain 25th anniversary of a certain musical that has run just as long as this certain musical
before I even knew the extent of Hadleys talent I remember seeing him in the film and thinking damn he sings better than anyone else in the whole thing......
When I first saw this movie, I thought oh my God who was that guy who was the police officer. I immediately fell in love with his voice and he is so incredibly handsome. I started searching for information on him and I still can't believe I had never heard of him. Hi voice just resonated deep and I just love hearing him sing.
I can remember that girly screwm that I did in the cinema when his scene came! I was like "That's Hadley!!!!!"..and then I was like.. "Why isn't he Grantaire!!!or Marius!!!"
Hollywood asked them to audition for Les Miz movie?!! Are they #$&* kidding me? These musical theatre stars can outsing the actors and actresses who played the roles. The only people in the movie who deserved the roles are Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne and the great Aaron Tviet. Of course, Colm Wilkinson as the Monsignor was a great tribute to the fact he was the first Jean Valjean!
@@g2growcya I wasn't at all fond of the style of vibrato she chose to use for this film, though. I didn't know she was classically trained. That kind of makes me even more dissapointed.
i particularly noticed his expressions as he sang, the first time watching the film (before i was garbage) and now i can't help thinking it's (the expression he makes, the guilty, sad one) because he's been in the exact position before.
well,maybe because the requirements for movie and musicals/anniversary concerts are different. While in musical, the voice is the most important, in the movies, it is the face, since their voice are mostly added on later during editing. Of course,the actor still requires to have a good voice,but it is considered less important. The face though is quite important,and they have to find actors with the suitable face for their role. For example,Ramin and Hadley may be perfect for their voices as the role of Enjolras and Grantaire,but they do not look like teenage boys who just are in university.
***** I have got to agree! Ramin is my favorite Enjolras by far. I was watching him and his acting and voice made me say put loud "yeah, I would totally follow you to a battle." Luminous is the word I've heard a lot about that performance by him
Couldn't Hadley have got a bigger part? I mean, come on, the male singers were not strong in this movie. Hadley and Aaron were the only males who I was very impressed with.
Unfortunately if they had cast the likes of Hadley, Ramin etc the general public wouldn't have heard of them whereas bringing in the big names like Jackman and Crowe got the crowds into the cinemas.
AmyNikita Ugh I'm so cross about them casting him. That 25th anniversary concert would have been sheer perfection if they had cast ANYONE instead of Nick Jonas. I'd have loved Craig Mather or Rob Houghton (spelling???!!!)
the smaller the part, the better the voice. Not including Hadley and Colm, I think that by far the best voices were Samantha Barks and Aaron Tveit. The roles of Eponine and Enjolras were not as big as the role of Javert which was played by Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe's singing was horrible, and yet he still played such an important role
I'm not sure if this a different take than what was in the movie, but the kind of growl at "barricades" "have no chance" and "throw" make this sound so much more intimidating. The movie version sounded so much more sincere and cautionary. Both are AMAZING though.
It must be so painful to see that the army officer is better than the main cast, who are actors but not singers at all. It just pisses me off to see the producer having Hadley Fraser in their hand, and just relegate the poor man to a secondary roles.
I like that hadley has the most beautifullest voice of all of them but one thing i dont like is that he plays the army officer and yea he should have been one of the barricade men or Graintaire.
Like everyone says Hadly sings better than any other actors in this movie, but he is not movie star. If I were a producer, I would not choose him as Javert. Don't take me wrong. I really love his Raoul de Chagny in theatre.
Oh Wouldn't it have been amazing if Hadley actually DID play a major role in the movie, like Javert or Marius? I don't know the whole of the story as to why the movie didn't quite deliver a successful performance. Still, after watching it more than once, I feel like the cinematography itself was really powerful, to the extent where had they casted actors who could really sing, it would have been critically acclaimed and revered so much more than what it turned out to be.
You can tell the final movie version was much less powerful than this version, probably due to the director knowing that his singing sounds so much more powerful and professional than the other Hollywood actors. Story as old as time, when the real talent is asked to hold back in order for the less talented but have better connections or status to shine instead
*When the studio tells Hadley to hold back on his belting because he has the most powerful voice out of the whole cast.*
Thatperformer387 they said the same to Samantha!!
And I think Aaron Tveit
Woah really? Can you link me to a video or article? Id love to read it
And Colm

When Grantaire, pretending to be a soldier, shoots Grantaire...
Grantinception mate.
this makes me so emo
This made me laugh way too hard
Also Hadley was Marius and he probably shot people on the barricade who played Marius
He also got the role to be Javert too soo..
@Shin in the end grantaire shot everyone
Hadley sure knows how to make a small side character very memorable
Grantaire killing Grantaire is a quite good summary of the character
sToP

this 3 year old comment really got me, huh

SAMEEEE!!! Didn’t not expect that at all. Love it though
Same with Alfie Boe.
The best singer in the whole movie and only appeared a few seconds... something must be WRONG!!!
Colm Wilkinson was there too :>
Tbh my opinion is that he's not.

they had him in the cast... and russel crowe sang Javert... I am judging them so hard right now.

“Why throw your lives away” gave me a quick phantom of the opera flashback.

It ran longer on Broadway!
In which he also said something about not throwing your life away…

But sadly, they cast Luke Evans. We shall see....
What’s the plan here, making Gaston attractive and dreamy ? 🥲
God this part from Hadley gives me chillllsss ughhh please remake the movie..
Omg i always loved his part in the movie when I was 10, but I didn’t knew him back then. Now I do and I found this video. It all makes sense now

As much as I love and adore George Blagden why the hell didn't they cast Hadley for Grantaire??

Katie Hall, Gina Beck, and Hadley Fraser. A few lesser known (in the Hollywood/movie world) Broadway babies were all in this movie! :-)
I THINK I saw Katie Hall. I've only seen this version once. But where was Gina?
The problem with casting an actual west end singer as a minor character is that he upstages everyone else.
Couldn't Hadley have got a bigger part? I mean, come on, the male singers were not strong in this movie. Hadley and Aaron were the only males who I was very impressed with.
Unfortunately if they had cast the likes of Hadley, Ramin etc the general public wouldn't have heard of them whereas bringing in the big names like Jackman and Crowe got the crowds into the cinemas.

Y so cute
The ensemble was the best part ( +aaron tviet and samantha barks)
definitely not in the movie but the stage musical, I feel like the army officer or "loud hailer"/warnings (US/London) is SO underrated
Wow, his speaking voice is of a much higher pitch than I expected! Not a criticism at all, just an observation
I'm not sure if this a different take than what was in the movie, but the kind of growl at "barricades" "have no chance" and "throw" make this sound so much more intimidating. The movie version sounded so much more sincere and cautionary. Both are AMAZING though.
How can his singing sound better here than in the actual movie?
I thought exactly the same thing! Think it's because he was singing to the backing track here whereas he sang unaccompanied in the movie
Aaron and Hadley as E/r would have ROCKED
It must be so painful to see that the army officer is better than the main cast, who are actors but not singers at all. It just pisses me off to see the producer having Hadley Fraser in their hand, and just relegate the poor man to a secondary roles.
