What's amazing is that this incredible recording still doesn't do the live performance justice!

[@ilikecrab111]

Saw him last night in Iowa and that song light made me cry form how beautifully he sung this. Truly one of the best voices on Broadway

[@ChrisE-kz2bi]

Was also at the Iowa show. Nick and this cast are mesmerizing. Stunning. Wish I’d gone more than once.

[@kericockey8482]

Best Valjean ever!

[@zelimircabraja7529]

Of course not

[@sandimil1289]

Just saw Les Miserables this weekend. Absolutely fantastic! Multiple people wiping tears from their eyes. This song was amazing. Put a spell on the audience.

[@alanshore17]

I saw Nick as Valjean. Incredible voice, truly. I’d also really like to see him perform as Phantom, bc his voice would be perfect for that role too. Thanks for posting.

[@BubblyBubblyBubbles]

I agree 100%.

[@lisademattia6299]

he’s my new favorite performer

[@scottwallace1]

I saw him in Seattle. The sense of the audience falling perfectly silent and in awe of the beauty they were witnessing was incredible. The only other sounds were some sniffles, some ‘wow’s, and the sound of tears hitting the ground. It was amazing.

[@julie2839]

Just saw Nick in Portland, OR and it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. There are no words to describe it. I’m currently looking for tickets to experience it again somewhere else. I hope this cast has a live recording?

[@scottwallace1]

Seeing him in Seattle years ago….I have never FELT an audience become transfixed and hypnotized like they were there by the awesome beauty of Nick’s voice and performance. I don’t expect to ever experience a more moving musical experience. And that’s ok. It’s nearly impossible to imagine that being topped.

[@ElizabethJManoukian]

Hi Nick! I was a camper at Greasepaint Theater summer camp back in AZ back in ‘99 or 2000 when you were working at the theater. You were Curly in Oklahoma that summer and I was in the camp production of 3 Little pigs as the Norma Desmond-esque Big Bad Wolf 😂. I remember seeing Oklahoma that summer and being blown away by your voice the moment you started off the show with “Oh What a Beautiful Morning.” My Mom recently sent me the AZ republic article on AZ actors who made it to Broadway and I recognized your name! I’m so incredibly happy for you and how wonderfully you are flourishing in your career. It’s so well deserved. I wish you greater and greater success. Keep making beautiful music for the world to enjoy!

[@barbnauman705]

I saw Nick last night in Kansas City. The entire audience was spellbound by his brilliance! God speed, Nick! I hope you pass through KC again soon!!❤

[@ryuinz]

Saw him in DC at the National Theater. I've loved this show since I was a little kid, have seen it multiple times and enjoyed it most every time, and the revival show at the National was good, but nothing amazing...until this song. Nick singing this live was the best version of this song I've ever heard, bar none. It was as close to perfect as I'm like to ever see. So thanks Nick, being that close to perfection is always something special :)

[@tailhookmd2546]

Saw this at the kennedy center… I was taking to my wife and friends at intermission about this song. I’d never seen him before…. Needless to say he blew everyone away, there were two ovations…. Greatest live tenor performance I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot!!!!!!

[@traveltounwind3490]

Why is there only like 307 views on this....This is amazing. I saw you in Cleveland on tour and was completely blown away. This version captures that. Listening to the other version "Bring Him Home" from a couple years ago, and then hearing this version really shows how your voice has matured fantastically. It's just so beautiful. Dayumn.

[@psackett8]

This man sings with his heart and soul.❤️

[@scoobstopb]

That "bring him joy" was on point.

[@lloyderosa]

Saw this gem last night in Tulsa at Les Mis. Sir, you blow Colm Wilkinson out of the water!!!

[@jessicawurm23]

I saw him in Tulsa on Saturday! His "Bring Him Home" is transcendent!!

[@juliaellegood7631]

I got see him in Portland, OR in June of 2018. Nick was outstanding, as well as the entire cast.

[@skbeardsley]

We were near the back in the balcony at opening night in Chicago. From the start of the show to the finish, Nick was amazing. I saw the show for the first time when I was 9 and it was awesome to bring my 10 year old to see it with me this week. This song in particular, every note was perfect and I have never heard it sung like that. Thank you! you reached everyone in that audience.

[@musical_merri]

Just saw him in OKC, and his voice was outstanding! Just beautiful.

[@octopiRsmart]

We saw our first Les Miserables performance at the Fisher Theater in Detroit on New Year's eve (matinee). We were so lucky to experience Nick's performance. Although we were in the upper balcony, the music reached our souls. I scoured the internet for other Les Miserables performances and I have concluded that I was lucky to experience the very best.

[@amandaolsen8555]

I saw him a few nights ago! I have never heard that song sung better. My mom has seen it 12 times and she said Nick did it best.

[@JessicaTayB]

We saw you perform this piece in OKC last night! It was the last night of your show. A truly outstanding and perfect performance.

[@ginag1682]

Saw him in Le Mis San Francisco July and he and entire cast were wonderful. Was so moving my friend and I were in tears.

[@tamrahouser732]

His performance has grown so much since the previous one posted a year earlier. Interpretation much more believable, breath control better, his voice has matured to fit Valjean's age. Maybe it's the room and acoustics, but overall he sounds like Valjean now. And I'm spoiled by Alfie Boe's performances-25th Anniversary on the West End, Broadway, many others.

[@traveltounwind3490]

Can't wait to see him again in a few weeks..I agree his growth in this role has shown such an emotional connection to the song.

[@TheSatisfiedPig]

Boe's kinda meh

[@sportsguy23]

I just saw this man in Fresno last night, and it was an amazing show

[@danadams1427]

Along with the singing you do, the acting you do with this song is incredible.

[@ArchieYFC]

God on high Hear my prayer In my need You have always been there He is young He's afraid Let him rest Heaven blessed. Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home. He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son. The summers die One by one How soon they fly On and on And I am old And will be gone. Bring him peace Bring him joy He is young He is only a boy You can take You can give Let him be Let him live If I die Let me die Let him live Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home.

[@Sarah4382]

I saw Les Mis in Tampa yesterday. This was the best performance of this song i have ever heard. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@mollyreimer395]

We saw him on tour in Spokane. Angel voice and gorgeous vibrato. Best version of this song! Tops Alfie and Ramine who are also fantastic.

[@ginag1682]

Just saw les mis 1st time in sf 2 days ago. Wonderful. Thank you and the entire cast. It was so beautiful my friend and i were brought to tears.

[@PhantomofDB]

Wow. Genuinely one of the best I've ever heard

[@Cat-bt7wy]

10/10

[@610luna]

This is perfection. Got to see you in New Orleans last year and I was blown away.

[@jediconnor9349]

Les Miserables is coming back to New Orleans in late January 2024 on the US Tour again.

[@annmariegayz2973]

This is so powerful and moving. Beautiful!

[@abigailserrano7971]

I so wish I could have seen this show! Too bad I live on the other side of the continent 😝

[@maritazoto9788]

Absolutely amazing! What a voice!!!

[@speecher1959]

So perfect in Seattle's production!

[@carinnaybor8653]

Just saw him in nashville…. The live performance was complete perfection.

[@ginag1682]

Was wondering if there is cast recording or cd available. We would purchase it. So beautiful.

[@ginag1682]

We maybe getting tickets to see in sacramento as well.

[@archiezelisdedal5570]

Just saw it last night in Sacramento. One of the best productions I've seen. Nick was a standout. His voice gave me chills. So grateful I was able to see him and the rest of the talented cast.

[@zelimircabraja7529]

With all the respect, nobody can replace Colm Wilkinson, nobody.

[@ginag1682]

Unable get tickets to Sacramento 😢

[@mad000]

i saw this just a few nights ago at opening night in chicago. i was frankly disappointed in the broadway recording. it does not compare this nick's, i'm sorry.
