Les Misérables (London) - Bring Him Home - Killian Donnelly

First performance ever. He's a swing, basically emergency cover - not Valjean understudy or anything at all.

Killian sounds great as Valjean, but in about 15-20 years, he'll sound even better.  His voice just needs to deepen.

@lilsisasu Yes, you're right about that! Still, bearing in mind it was his first time playing the role, and that without much preparation...

I love Killian as Enjolras. Its my favourite role and Killian is my favourite out of all the actors I've seen in it.

But WOW!! The disappointment I have now experienced from hearing this and never seeing him as Valjean! That was amazing!

He is so incredibly talented. I can't wait to see where his career will take him.

He's still a young lad so maybe one day he'll step into the shoes of Jean Valjean full time.

Thank you for this :)

@GGray1986 You're welcome. I certainly hope he will take over as Valjean in the (relatively near) future. Enjolras is my favourite role, too, and I have to say that I've seen better performers in that role than Killian, but he sang the role of Valjean with such ease and played him so naturally and well that I would love to see him full-time as that character instead.

I saw it a few weeks a go - he was really good as Enjolras.

[hoursofpallor]

@bookworm266 I have no doubts of that, I saw him as Enjolras when he was still understudy. It's almost a pity he's tied down to one role now, though, he was a brilliant swing.

So beautiful!

[Casutama]

oh my goodness, although alfie boe will definitely remain my favourite, Killian is like WOW!! and if this was the first time he's ever sung it... I wouldn't have guessed! thanks for putting it on!

[MissMiserables]

I underestimated you, Killian! Brilliant!! Thanks for the upload :)

[canitbechristine]

I don't normally like young actors as Val Jean but Killian sounds wonderful. I can only imagine how awesome he'd be in the role down the road when he's more 'age appropriate' for the role. I hope he at some point becomes a lead Val Jean.

I can't wait until some bootlegs of him in Phantom show up.  He's got the perfect voice for a Raoul right now. *languishes in the States*

Only two words to describe this... and they are this:

OMFG WOW!!!!

[HowItFeelsToFlyx]

I saw him perform Bring Him Home in Direct From The West End in York and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! I'm now a huge fan and I'm sure he's better than Alfie Boe!!! Much love to you, Killian - all the best :) xxx

Considering the circumstances, this is amazing! Even NOT considering the circumstances, it's still amazing!

[thebluroommusical]

Killian Donnely is amazing. Not as great as Colm Wilkinson and Alfie Boe but definitely he's got the chops!
