I don't think it's silly.
And I don't think Jackman's voice could handle it -- or a lot of the Val Jean score if I recall correctly.
The song is notably more effective in the key it is written in than the one Jackman did it in. And even in the key he did it in, it was still unpleasant and strained.
We aren't talking about him getting through a character number. This is a stunning vocal and musical moment in the show and should be.
But again, I'd forgive his vocal limitations a hundred times for them to have cast a Javert who could sing the role (and act it at the same time). |
