a personal request, cast the whole of les mis but just with male actors who are 40 and over
valjean - matt harrop
based solely on him being a massive dilf as andre in phantom.
javert - scott davies
ok this is the one serious casting. imagine that tiny little unhinged man singing stars and the suicide.
fantine - joj
look you need someone to sing the most iconic number of the show. joj is the man for that.
marius - cameron blakely
you’ll understand this once you see my eponine casting.
enjolras - jeremy secomb
he’d be the most terrifying and unnerving enjolras of all time. they’ve all followed him to the barricade cause they’re scared to say no.
eponine - earl carpenter
he’s got the vaguely pathetic vibes nailed and he’d die so prettily x
cosette- simon bowman
idk he just has a cosette vibe. won’t be elaborating.
gavroche- simon bailey
reprising his first les mis role almost thirty years later cause why not.

The Les Miserables Changelog Part 10: 1997-2001 West End variations
Hello, everyone! This is the latest edition in my attempt to chronicle all of the musical and lyrical changes which the show Les Miserables has undergone over the years. This time, we're going through the production-specific differences between the official 1997-2001 libretto and the West End production of the era.
As had been the case prior to 1997, the West End production was willing to shake things up relative to the official libretto, especially compared to American productions. The West End show continued both to add new variants not heard anywhere else, and also continued to hold on to lines that had been changed officially. As was previously the case, the West End show also made these changes very frequently, so numerous variations during this era exist. If I'm not mistaken, a few things were changed with each cast change! Without further ado, let's begin.
Circa 1997-1998 variant
Even after the second round of official changes, the prologue still uses the pre-Broadway lines:
I'd like to help you really
All I want is to be fair
As opposed to the post-Broadway ones:
I'd like to help a stranger
All we want is to be fair
In “Lovely Ladies”, the sailor still sings “Seven days at sea” instead of the official post-1997 “Seven months at sea”.
During "Fantine's Arrest", Bamatabois without exception uses the "ugly slut" line instead of the "little whore" one in the West End post-1997.
A new change can be heard later in the number. Usually, Valjean sings "I will see it done" three times in response to Javert's protests against helping Fantine. While the first and last ones are maintained, the second is replaced in this era with a spoken "Take her to the hospital!" It sounds slightly awkward, but otherwise I really like it. It makes it clearer to Javert where exactly Valjean wishes Fantine to be, and makes his lines less repetitive as well.
During "Who Am I?" the West End production without exception does NOT use Valjean's "You will find me at the hospital!" This is interesting since it was once one of the very few productions that did have him speak after the number in the show's early days!
Everything goes as usual until the preamble to "Master of the House". The original lines were as follows:
Landlord over here
Where's the bloody man
One more for the road
One more slug of gin
The 1997 libretto slightly edited the sequence into this:
Where's the wretched man
Landlord over here
One more for the road
One more slug of gin
The West End production maintained the original order, but did change "bloody" to "wretched" so that the sequence goes as follows:
Landlord over here
Where's the wretched man
One more for the road
One more slug of gin
The next change occurs during the Well Scene. Instead of just saying Cosette's name after she reveals it, Valjean proclaims, "Come my child, I'm taking you home" afterwards. I really like this bit; it makes him appear far warmer right from the get-go.
During "Look Down", the beggar's pre-Broadway "Something gotta happen, dearie" line is still being used!
As had long been the case, the West End production used the variant of "Stars" introduced in the Australian tour, with "Fallen from God", the lack of conjunctions, and "And so it must be!"
"The Attack on Rue Plumet" still has the pre-Broadway "To watch a cat and its father" instead of "To see a cat and its father".
Everything in Act Two plays out as usual.
Circa 1998-1999 variant
This is almost identical to the 1997-1998 variant. The one exception: Prior to "Drink with Me", Enjolras' "For tomorrow's fight" is reverted to the pre-1997 "For the final fight".
Circa 1999-2000 variant
This is also very close to the 1997-1999 versions, with the exception of finally adapting to many official libretto changes. The prologue, "Look Down", and "The Attack on Rue Plumet" are at long last all sung as officially written! The "Master of the House" preamble is now fully in its official post-1997 state.
Moreover, "Drink with Me" is slightly edited. Grantaire's post-1997 line was officially as follows:
Will the world remember you when you fall?
Can it be your life means nothing at all?
Will your death be one more lie?
This version changes his last line to:
Is your death just one more lie?
This is something of a callback to the pre-1997 show, in which Grantaire sings "Is your life just one more lie?"
Circa 2000 variant
This is yet again very close to the 1999-2000 show, with a few changes. Firstly, Valjean's remarks after the Well Scene become "Come Cosette, I'm taking you home" instead of "Come my child". I have no idea if this is a personal change on Simon Bowman's part or one decided upon by the company.
Additionally, "Drink with Me" is now totally reverted to its pre-1997 self. Instead of Grantaire singing:
Can it be your life means nothing at all?
Is your death just one more lie?
He once again sings:
Can it be your death means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?
Circa 2000-2001 variant
This is also very close to the 2000 show, once again with a few differences. Valjean's "Take her to the hospital!" during "Fantine's Arrest" is again changed to the official "I will see it done!"
Additionally, Valjean no longer has any remark after the Well Scene aside from his usual statement of Cosette's name.
That just about sums this part up! If I missed anything feel free to let me know, as my goal is to create a changelog as thorough and complete as possible. I plan on making more parts in the near future covering all the changes that have been made in the show up until this day (discounting concerts). Any feedback and constructive criticism is very much appreciated.
As a side note, both for this project and my own enjoyment, I want as complete a collection of Les Miserables audios as possible. I already have most of what’s commonly circulated, but if you have any audios or videos you know are rare, I’d love it if you DMed me!
Until the turntable puts me at the forefront again, good-bye…

Open for bootleg trading~
Hello all! I am posting my bootleg list here for now as a temporary list until I get my website up and running- I am open to trading! I’m mainly looking for any Cats production- preferably English or Dutch but any musical would be nice to have and expand my collection. 
Addams Family - Broadway - March 12, 2010
FORMAT: .VOB w/o smalls
CAST:Nathan Lane (Gomez Addams), Bebe Neuwirth (Morticia Addams), Terrence Mann (Mal Beineke), Carolee Carmello (Alice Beineke), Kevin Chamberlin (Uncle Fester), Jackie Hoffman (Grandma), Zachary James (Lurch), Wesley Taylor (Lucas Beineke), Krysta Rodriguez (Wednesday Addams), Adam Riegler (Pugsley Addams)
NOTES: Video quality isn't the best, and audio is sometimes on the softer side. Still a very entertaining show.
Anastasia - Broadway - September 6, 2017
FORMAT: (VOBs w/ smalls)
CAST: Christy Altomare (Anastasia), Derek Klena (Dmitry), John Bolton (Vlad), Ramin Karimloo (Gleb), Caroline O'Connor (Lily), Mary Beth Peil (Maria Feodorovna), Zach Adkins, Sissy Bell, Lauren Blackman, Kyle Brown, Janet Dickinson, Constantine Germanacos, Wes Hart, Ken Krugman, Shina Ann Morris, James A. Pierce III, Molly Rushing, Nicole Scimerca, Johnny Stellard, Allison Walsh (Ensemble)
Aladdin - Broadway, 2014-Nov-05 (SunsetBlvd79‘s master)
Format: VOB + smalls (7.58 GB)
CAST: Adam Jacobs (Aladdin), Courtney Reed (Jasmine), Merwin Foard (s/b Jafar), Michael James Scott (s/b Genie)
NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of latest Disney Broadway offering. Great to see the changes from the Toronto tryout. Michael and Merwin do terrific jobs as Genie and Jafar.
Beauty and the Beast New Zealand April 2006 - Proshot
Format: .VOB w/ smalls
Cast: Jade Steele, Russell Dixon, Glen Drake, Rob Ormsby, Gladys Hope
NOTES: Only the first act & first part of act two! 
Beauty and the Beast (Disney) - Broadway - July 27, 2007 (Unknown's video master)

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

CAST: Catherine Charlebois, Thaddeus Pearson, Johnny Stellard, Steve Hitchcock, James Beaman, Katie Banks-Todd, Karen L. Robu, Lexis Danca, James Heinrichs, Timothy W. Robu, Tanner Pflueger, John Boldenow

If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me! Like I said I would love any cats bootleg- especially the older ones in English and Dutch from like the 80′s till the 00′s. I am also looking for more diversity in my list- and I’m also looking for the classics- Dear Evan Hansen, Falsetto’s, some more Phantom Of the Opera, Mean Girls, Legally Blond, etc...

“In My Life” and “A Heart Full of Love,’ London, 2000. Zoë Curlett as Cosette, Simon Bowman as Jean Valjean, Niklas Andersson as Marius, Joanna Ampil as Éponine.
For Cosette Appreciation Week.
Zoë is a lovely Cosette. Her light, crystalline soprano voice is beautiful, ladylike, and effortlessly scales the high notes. She must have been an excellent Christine in Phantom. She offers an endearing characterization too: warm, gentle, dreamy, earnest, quietly dignified, and yet with moments that reveal the excited, passionate teenage girl within her. I love the little humanizing detail of her playing with a curl of her hair just before Marius’s arrival surprises her, the way she presses her hands to her mouth in shy, barely-restrained ecstasy after telling him her name, and her gentle stroke of his hair after “This is a chain we’ll never break.”
Simon’s Valjean makes a fine impression too, showing just the right concern and tenderness toward his daughter (the nose boop is always adorable) and thankfully not being too stern in dismissing her pleas, delivering “Truth is given by God to us all in our time” as a reassurance, not a shutdown.
Niklas’s Marius strikes the perfect balance between dignified young gentleman and exuberant, ecstatic boy in love, and his interactions with both Éponine and Cosette are so sweet. It might not be in character for Hugo’s Marius to hug Éponine, but it is touching – I can only imagine Éponine’s bittersweet feelings in that moment. And then he does some classic adorable Pontmercying when he throws his arms wide on “A heart full of light...” and then runs so exuberantly to kneel in front of Cosette.
By the way, Cosette’s repeating the same gesture to beckon first Valjean, then Marius toward her, and first Valjean, then Marius kneeling before her in the same spot, is a poignant parallel. It seems to highlight that within three minutes, Marius has replaced Valjean at the center of Cosette’s life.
Joanna’s Éponine is touching in her understated pain and yearning, and her straightening Marius’s hair before he goes to meet Cosette is a sweet detail.
An excellent performance by all.

I found someone with a Les Mis audio dated 15/11/1996. Do you know if Earl is on it? Here's the rest of the cast
Robert Marien (Valjean), Michael McCarthy (Javert), Ruthie Henshall  (Fantine), Frances Ruffelle (Eponine), Norman Bowman (Marius), Annalene  Beechey (Cosette), Chris Langham (Thenardier), Mandy Holliday (Mme.  Thenardier)
hey, so that sounds like the 96/97 cast to me, which would mean earl had left the show by that point. i actually just had a quick look at the programme i have of the cast he was in and most of the names don't match up.
i am a little unsure about when cast change actually was back then (if anybody knows please lmk!) but if you're searching for an audio that might contain earl i would aim for anything from the last half of 95 to the first half of 96?

It probably took everything in Cosette to not steal one of the owls from Transfiguration
