I saw him his first weekend (only his third performance), and wasn't too thrilled at the time, but you could tell he was just getting into it. He even flubbed up a line or two. However, he showed several signs that he'd eventually grow into a good Thenardier, which if it were to happen, I'm sure has happened by now. I remember he did yell a lot of lines rather than sing them, but that's his choice.
And yes, he does SD (or at least he did that first Saturday).
