“Epilogue,” 1st Australian Tour, 1989. Rob Guest as Jean Valjean, Debbie Byrne as Fantine, Marina Prior as Cosette, Peter Cousens as Marius, Silvie Paladino as Éponine.
The recording quality is a little spotty, but this is still a beautiful performance.
Rob’s Valjean has all the gentleness, tenderness and gravitas we could hope for Valjean to have in his last moments. And of course it’s always especially poignant to hear a death scene performed by an actor who has since passed away in real life – RIP.
Debbie’s Fantine is much the same as on the CSR: a voice that might not suit all tastes in the role, but still one that conveys deep feeling and motherly warmth. Marina’s Cosette and Peter’s Marius both sound lovely and appropriately urgent. Silvie’s Éponine is unfortunately drowned out by Debbie’s Fantine, but whether this was the case in person or is just a fluke of the recording I don’t know.
The final chorus is stirring just as it should be.

So tonight I went to a free Valentines Day concert hosted by the City of Joondalup (northern suburbs of Perth). It had two musical theatre performers Silvie Paladino and David Hobson with Perth Symphony Orchestra. It was so good! Silvie did All That Jazz, Memory, On My Own (it actually rained a tiny bit), All I Ask of You (with David Hobson), Defying Gravity (which I recorded and she was amazing!) and a few other songs that I can't remember right now. One of the songs David sung was Music of the Night and he also sang a song from Oliver (which I haven't actually seen) The Orchestra was amazing too, they had a WAAPA graduate come out and sing Tomorrow from Annie (she was amazing too. So much talent in Perth right now!)

No really
I'm gonna need audio of Simon Gleeson and Silvie Paladino's 'You and I Reprise' because it was freaking beautiful and emotional.
Australia, y u rarely do cast recordings?
