This play is set in the French revolution. This song "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" is about all the friends that used to gather who have been killed in battle. During the height of the AIDS epidemic, this song was a really important song and was often dedicated to all the lives of young actors that died. Today its still sung at charity events and Broadway fundraisers to honor those who lost from HIV/ AIDS . When sung well with all the emotion and vocal power, it should make the audience sob. I give Nick a lot of credit for putting himself out there. I like how you mentioned that we know he had to really train and dedicate time and energy to pull this off. I can't imagine singing this low came naturally to him. Still a great performance, but it doesn't make me sob.

while most theatre fans were pretty unhappy with his casting, this performance is from the 25th anniversary performance of les mis, which you can find for free on vimeo. its my personal favorite cast of les mis. it’s concert style, but you don’t miss the story because it’s a sung through musical. i think you would enjoy it, even if you don’t react to it.
