Javert's suicideHey all,
I haven't heard the score in awhile, and I am desperately trying to recall what did Javert's Suicide reprise.
I believe same of it was confrontation, some Who Am I?
Thanks

It's a reprise of Valjean's "What Have I Done?"
Kind of.

Wot TVAW said. Until the final bit, it's note-for-note the same (except for some bars which are transposed an octave).
The lyrics are completely different apart from a two lines which are similar: "Yet why did I allow that man" compared with "How can I now allow this man" and some that are direct quotations: "I am reaching but I fall", "I'll escape now from the world / From the world of Jean Valjean"
Off topic but the music is CMS at his best, I believe.

Is the melody used anywhere else in the show?

No - I'm fairly sure it isn't.

And the reason for that is Colm Wilkinson decided during his audition (or callback?) to jump octaves. They kept it.

Ooh, I didn't know that. I'm glad they kept it, it's effective.
