OLC recording


Does Marius sing in 'Look Down'? None of the voices sound like Michael Ball.

I'm not familiar with the OLC recording, only the International Cast recording.
Marius's first line in Look Down *should* be "Only one man and that's Lemarque speaks for the people here below" closely followed by "Lemarque is ill and fading fast, won't last the week out so they say." (The lines opposite these are sung by Enjolras, or at least that's been the case any time I've seen/heard it.)
Ball has such a distinctive voice. I reckon you'd have recognised it if it were him.

Actually, in the OLC, Combeferre (Paul Leonard) sings, "As for leaders of the land/As for the swells who run the show/Only one man - and that's Lamarque/Speaks for the people here below," to which Feuilly (Gary Huddlestone) responds, "Lamarque is ill and fading fast./Won't last the week out, so they say./With all the anger in the land./How long before the judgement day?/Before we cut the fat ones down to size/Before the barricades arise!"

Interesting. I really should get hold of the OLC.

Thank you for the clarification, Marius!

For anyone interested, I found the OLC at my local library.
