It’s fine having actors that may not be the best singers, but probably not a good idea to continually put those actors in direct comparison to those that are because it highlights the major difference in ability, pulling you out of the immersion. Javert is Valjean’s foil, so there’s going to be constant and direct comparison between those two. You need to have the two actors on par with each other.”<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
