      Jasper Tan usually Elphaba is played by a mezzo soprano and Glinda a soprano. And believe it or not but Sierra is actually a mezzo that just has an amazing range. So technically she could play either.

    i love the way she enunciates when she sings. it’s so sweet and beautiful, always
    edit: and of course she went for the high note at the end. i always wonder if the javerts don’t hit it bc they can’t or bc it’s symbolic of javert’s attempts to remain constant like the stars

    I would love to play Javert as a woman... He is such a complex and interesting character and I think that gender swapping him would be a very interesting and haunting way to do it, as Sierra has proved.

    • @melaniemurray6539
      @melaniemurray6539 4 роки тому +1

      It’s funny you say that because I think the total opposite of Javert. Not as a criticism; all the characters in this show are flat. Is there conflict? Sure, but no growth. Javert is a foil to Valjean, the opposite of the good guy. He’s as single minded as they come- he only cares about one thing, he’s a fanatical bigot with no complexity at all. I think that’s kind of the point. Even in his last moments he fails to reflect or learn and kills himself because he can’t stand living in a world where he’s not right. Does his bigotry cone from pain? Sure. Do we pity him? Of course. But he’s about as complex as a comic book villain. He’s as one-dimensional as they come. But again, all the characters are. There’s no time for complexity in most opera. Good is good and bad is bad.

    • @kuromame4762
      @kuromame4762 3 роки тому +1

      I believe there was a high school production that cast a female!Javert, although it was futuristic/steam punk. Some people don't like the idea of role reversal but I think it adds so much more complexity! Especially with Javert, who is pretty simplistic in his beliefs. I've seen some versions explore his character by casting people of color, but it would be interesting to see a woman take on the role in a bigger production!

    • @Grethrey123
      @Grethrey123 Рік тому +1

      @@melaniemurray6539 I think that's the point of Javert though. He is the complete antithesis of Jean Valjean, who DOES go through a HUGE change in character, from bitter ex-con who can't accept a kind gesture without stealing, to prosperous town mayor, to genuinely selfless hero. His greatest asset is his capacity to change and grow, and conversely, Javert is rigid, fixed and unchanging which creates the tension between the two - "men like you can never change/men like me can never change". Then when he sees that Valjean actually HAS changed and has saved another life, he cannot accept that his lifelong view has been wrong, that people CAN change, and that causes him to kill himself - he realises he has wasted his life. But he's certainly not one-dimensional, the whole point is it's not a personal thing with him chasing Valjean, just his obsession with upholding the law. This song shows that - he DOES have a softer side to him that he never shows to anyone.
