Kyle Jean-Baptiste, the promising young actor who died August 29, 2015, in a freak accident just weeks after becoming the youngest actor and first African-American actor to play Jean Valjean in Les Misérables on Broadway, is being remembered October 23 in a benefit concert in Cleveland, Ohio.

Serving as understudy to Ramin Karimloo in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables, Jean-Baptiste went on in the leading role for the first time on July 23, 2015. His life ended just over a month later when he fell from a fire escape at a friend’s apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
