He was also slated to be a cast member of the revival of the musical The Color Purple. On August 29, 2015, a day after departing Les Misérables and two days after his final performance as Valjean, he tragically passed, after accidentally falling from a fire escape in Brooklyn, New York.” Scholarships in his name exist at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School and at Baldwin Wallace University. For group ticket sales: bhennes@gmail.com
