this is some racist bullshit, and even if you're not into les mis, this needs to be spoken about.
the 40th anniversary album of les mis pre-order is out, and on this, jordan shaw (the black actor playing enjolras) has been replaced with a white actor. the entire thing is directly recorded from the stage 40th show, and yet they've cut out jordan and replaced him with james gish. ONLY jordans songs have been changed!! no shade to james because he's also extremely talented but hes not jordan? he didn't play enjolras in the 40th? and the fact that only jordans songs have been changed makes this just UGH. this is terrible and we need to do something about it
i am also not the type of person to say "we need to do something about this" and stay silent, so do something! I sure as hell am!!! make a fuss about this!! post about it and yell about it and find the "contact us" page on the distributor form, and if you're feeling kind, shoot jordan a kind word on insta at jordanshawuk. this is bullshit and something needs to be done.
jordan did am AMAZING job in his role and truly captured tje joy and passion that is our enjolras. its meant so much to so many fans to see a person of color playing enj who rarely see themselves represented in such ways. so. throw a fit. make a fuss and yell about this <3
