Kyle Jean-Baptiste in Les Mis — Page 2

Also, why is LightsOut90 acting like Lea Salonga/Joanna Ampil/Shanice/etc.'s Eponines never happened, Melba Moore's Fantine never happened, Edward Baruwa/Shaun Escoffery's Enjolras never happened, etc...? (Yes, I'm purposely naming people from productions well before this one.)

Call_me_jorge, Nathaniel Hackmann kind of was, so I'm guessing Kyle is too.

"while this is nice and all, how does this make any sense story wise?"

how do I insert an eyeball gif on here

Probably John Owen-Jones, who was the alternate (?) at 23 many years ago.

You're welcome! It's unusual enough; even Ramin was on the young side for Valjean when he started.

"i just feel like, wouldn't it be nice to push for more original organic work for diverse performers?"

Yes... but what's wrong with "diverse performers" as you're putting it playing established, beloved roles? There will always be more original work being created for people of all backgrounds, but if you grew up loving a role, wouldn't you want to play that role regardless of race or any other differences you have between you as a person and the character?

I have tix to see Les Miz #17 in Sept specifically to see Alfie Boe and Earl Carpenter, but I won't mind if I see Kyle as JVJ!!
