I totally <33333 Javert. And it makes me sad that he's the only one that doesn't get to sing in the "yay heaven!" bit at the end. 'Cause, dude, he isn't a bad guy; the only thing he did 'wrong' was not believing Valjean's "hay I'm good now, really", which, y'know, it's not like people try that when they don't actually mean it...
Re ALFoR, that song has been, sadly, kind of ruined for me because the last time I saw Les Miz live? The whole "Eponine, you're hurt, you need some help" etc involved throwing open her trenchcoat (to expose the Lots And Lots Of Ketchup Blood) very flasherishly and overmelodramatically in such a way that it made me want to laugh. Which is kind of not the right mood.
...they did slightly redeem it by the thing -- I don't know if this is in the stage directions, or standard, or just them -- where she's dying and he's all sad and no one else notices for most of the song, just standing around in clumps talking and ... it just made me whimper. In a good way.
I used to have a tape copy of the CSR, but I've lost it :( :( :( I adore the CSR so very much.
