ahh i love this question, thank you!!! 🫶 i'll list my top 5 faves!

1.colm wilkinson & terrence mann. they'll probably always be my favorite duo. it may be a basic answer but the obc was the first recording i listened to besides the movie soundtrack and i just fell in love with their dynamic (even just through audio!). i had the chance to watch the proshot at the new york public library last year and oh my god i can't begin to describe how good they are. if i lived in nyc i'd be going at least once a month to rewatch.

2. john owen-jones & earl carpenter. i think they were the first full bootleg i watched since there was one easily accessible on youtube for the longest time. it's funny, i wasn't that crazy about earl's javert at first, but he's really grown on me and is now one of my favorites. and i think joj is hands down one of the best to ever play jvj.

3. peter lockyer & jeremy secomb. unfortunately i haven't seen a ton of clips of them, but i absolutely love their vibe together. i would probably love jeremy with anyone though tbh, but lockyer has such a nice voice so that's a bonus. plus, they gave us a valvert kiss.

4. alfie boe & michael ball. a duo that REALLY took time to grow on me. they're not my favorite singing-wise, but they have such great chemistry! michael is such a pathetic javert and alfie has a good amount of quiet rage simmering underneath.

5. colm wilkinson & philip quast. i mean, this is the most popular duo for a reason. i do think quast is a bit overrated, but i can't deny that he's an excellent javert, and colm is my favorite valjean of all time. i think if i were to suggest someone getting into les mis to watch any performance, it would be the 10th anniversary.

special mentions:

-colm wilkinson & roger allam - i need to go to london to watch that proshot someday because im solely working off just audio and like 5 photos but i love roger's voice so much

-ramin karimloo & will swenson - not a fan of ramin's hyper aggressive valjean but they were a really gay valvert duo. definitely toxic yaoi vibes

-nick cartell & nick rehberger - i saw the us tour 3 times and they 100% had the best chemistry out of the duos i saw

We all have to make sacrifices. If I have to be the world's whipping boy to secure our salvation, then that's my sacrifice to make.

"You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion."

[ID: Digital illustration of Granada Holmes and Watson lounging together on the sofa, each reading a book; Holmes is laid, head propped on a pillow resting upon Watson's lap, who is sitting upright and cross legged. Theres a variety of plows and blankets in different patterns on the sofa. Holmes is in his nightshirt, long grey robe and purple scarf while Watson is in his thick brown robe, white shirt and brown trousers. A table is in front of them, littered with clutter; papers, a teapot, Holme's pipe, a crystal vial of wine, a magnifying glass, Holme's deerstalker hat and two ashtrays with put out cigarettes among it. It's a very domestic scene. / end ID]

I really like leclerc actually. A climatologist whos lifes mission comes crumbling down with nothing but the sound of distant thunder... 🤕

Not much would have changed. The only things the cat can't do is smoke and make sarcastic remarks out loud..
