Devastating. And so horrifically soon after he made theatre history.

Oh my god! That's horrible! What a tragedy. I was just listening to an audio of him as Valjean the other day, and thinking what a bright future he had ahead of him. I'm speechless.

Holy sh;t...my heart just sank a little--a young, talented person who was doing what they loved and on the road to being very successful. Never met him or saw him live, but he was just so young.  Thoughts, prayers, and positive energy to his loved ones.

21 is too young for someone to die. Especially someone who could've gone to bigger and greater places.

It's in the article on the top of BWW.

It's in the article, but it seems he fell off his mother's fire escape. 

 

I haven't seen any news to the contrary, but I'm assuming the cast is on stage right now for the matinee? I don't know how they are doing it if they are performing. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

On Instagram he's been getting ready for his next show, he even got the contract, I wonder what show it was.
