Date: 2015-10-28 05:06 am (UTC)The next one is great but also sad. I think this was the first Ham4Ham performance I was aware of.
August 2015 features Kyle Jean-Baptiste, who had recently made history by being the first African-American and also the youngest actor to perform Valjean on Broadway. He and Lin-Manuel sing Confrontation (Lin is Javert).
Two weeks after this was filmed, and 2 days after finishing his run with Les Misérables, Kyle died in a tragic accidental fall.
The entire cast of Les Mis "auditioned" for Hamilton as a way to welcome them to Broadway (and to 46th St). Kyle appears at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe8iDLHcs60
