wait, no it's not written that way

javert's role is famously quite low (lowest note, iirc, is a fucking *bottom f*); it's at the very least a true baritone role

i have no clue what you're talking about re: lyric tenor, but i might hazard a guess that you are not familiar with the show?

in conclusion, russell crowe just didn't have the voice for the role, period. what he did sing - the transposed-higher version - was not great; what he should have sung - what you're claiming he "could have sung" (the iconic baritone role) - he apparently wasn't able to sing, based on the fact that they seem to have *had* to bring the role up for him.

I am familiar with the show.

But tbh, I was not paying too much attention to exactly which notes Crowe was aiming for because I was distracted by the quality of his voice which I was not a fan of and other things. I was mostly just like "YIKES THIS DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT" and uh thus idk I didn't think beyond that to really notice that part of the reason the whole part sounded off was because they had transposed the role to be higher for him.

Also I never claimed that he could have sung the iconic baritone role???

I've read interviews, brosis. They initially chose him for his baritone. Which is why it baffled me as to why they bumped the song up to tenor, and the lady even admits they had trouble getting him up there despite complimenting his low baritone. So I am utterly baffled by the choice, and it's like they were setting him up for the strain.
