I find it utterly amazing that he can maintain his voice and pitch ALL while running around and dancing on poles. Seriously one of my favorite people in the world.
During "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" he just jumps through the window and starts belting it out. Marius has no idea what the hell is going on and flips his shit.
i'm so glad that they changed some of the lyrics when it moved to broadway. it kinda seemed like he was having trouble getting some of the words out and staying on beat at the same time. GOSH I LOVE AARON.
It must of been fun seeing the show in a different language! And yes, he has been in more musicals! He was Fiyero in Wicked, Link Larkin in Hairspray, he originated the role of Frank Abagnale Jr in Catch Me if You Can on Broadway, he was Roger in Rent. He was also on TV is gossip girl and howl although i've never seen either. Now he is filming a movie version of Les Miserables, playing Enjolras, and I think he will do the musical justice, and I hope the rest of the cast does too :)
Amazing song! This was the first song i heard on itunes and after hearing it i knew i had to buy the soundtrack, and i wasn't disappointed. All the actors are amazing with wonderful voices.
i saw n2n today for the second time. the first time kyle played the role of gabe, but today it was aaron...he's just amazing! i'm glad i got to see it before he left. you can tell from the video just how much energy and passion he puts into his work. it's an amazing sight to behold in person. keep up the great work aaron!
Ya, know. It's pretty fun playing this at the same time as the original cast recording youtube video. There are some differences in the song - including the pacing and pauses for other characters, but it sound pretty cool to hear Aaron duet with himself. :)
yah it was a lot of fun .....they chose perfect people for each and every part and Gabe's part was played by exactly who I thought would play that part -he was the exact type for everything that Gabe does :) I'm planing to go see it again 'cos the story touches me more than any-other show I've seen...
ok thanks , good to know his name ...:) and yah I know you only know the name at one of the last song -saw it in hebrew I wonder if Aaron Tveit played in more musicals ....what a voice ...
@Muziekvrouw the way i see it is .... that's what the mother hears in her head...she can not let go of her dead son ...so she keeps him alive inside of her...he died as a baby but, she sees him growing up....and this is how she sees him at age 18.

He plays this role so provocatively considering that his character is dead. I love it.
Pretty sure that was the whole idea.
Can I also add it's amazing he never fell off the top of the set doing all those stunts?
how does he not run out of breath!? running around and singing like that! this seems impossible. he must be in AMAZING shape!
During "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" he just jumps through the window and starts belting it out. Marius has no idea what the hell is going on and flips his shit.
and suddenly i'm picturing him pole dancing on the barricade and singing this to Javert 😂
oh my god :DDD
This is the best comment on this video :DD
Love it! LOL. 😊😊😊
Hi, I would like to audition for the part of one of the poles.
3:04-3:06 HOW IS THAT NOTE SO PERFECT?! There's no shakiness, and he's frickin' swinging around on a pole! He even vibratos it! JESUS I LOVE THIS KID!
He's so perfectly gorgeous, how do creatures like him even exist?
What fine marble!
he IS gabe. nobody can ever compare to him. he is perfection.
Eventually somebody will.
i'm so glad that they changed some of the lyrics when it moved to broadway. it kinda seemed like he was having trouble getting some of the words out and staying on beat at the same time. GOSH I LOVE AARON.
I’m rewatching this for the first time in a long time. I agree. Some of those original lyrics were very clunky
I love how Aaron bumps his shoulder on 2:50 and recovers quickly. I would've been coughing from getting hit.
Only Aaron can do this song justice... Oh how much I love N2N and Aaron
If I'm hallucinating Aaron Tveit I would be happy. Like, come on,it's AARON TVEIT!
Can you imagine after Enjolras' death at the end he just comes back singing this?
god he gives me chills.
this song is incredible.
and then he just makes it.
i love aaron .
he was terrific in Wicked too. i love his voice!
I can't stop to imagine Enjolras singing this... "Les undead Miserables" o.o
He's so so so passed the level of "sexy"... He's worth having a nose bleed over. ;D But honestly, I do admire his energy and astonishing voicals. :D

He's so frickin amazing! His voice is incredible.
This musical messes with my mind in so many ways

God id be exausted after this song! Hes sounds amazingfor running around and dancing!
It's weird that I first Aaron as Enjolras, and then this!
This show was fantastic on broadway!
Im so excited that it is coming to SF in January!
Such an amazing show! I am sooo glad I was able to see this on Broadway!
Amazing performance!! I just saw this show tonight though, with Curt Hansen as Gabe, and he was beyond incredible, too.
Ya, know. It's pretty fun playing this at the same time as the original cast recording youtube video. There are some differences in the song - including the pacing and pauses for other characters, but it sound pretty cool to hear Aaron duet with himself. :)
Ahhhhhh I love him!(:
this song is so great and aaron is so cute
yah it was a lot of fun .....they chose perfect people for each and every part
and Gabe's part was played by exactly who I thought would play that part -he was the exact type for everything that Gabe does :)
I'm planing to go see it again 'cos the story touches me more than any-other show I've seen...
i wouldn't mind aaron haunting me in my dreams...
"I'm Alive" ...also known as Aaron's pole dancing song.
I kinda like these lyrics better than the Broadway version
I REALLY like these lyrics.
He’s everything
Amazing :D We're doing this play for out school concert :D I wish we had this hottie( the guy that plays Gabe) for our concert. :3
OMG I love this song and I love the musical and I especially LOVE the actor for the son!!!!!!!!! hehe ; )
I have this odd urge to like chase him through this set... like up the stairs and down the poles lmfao
wow that voice
I love him I love him I love him!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU. God, I worship this guy. :)
Thanks for posting these! I love seeing how the show has evolved through time.
yes, i believe just like Spring Awakening
he sounds so great alive, not like others....
Perfect....
Oh my gosh. He's like a mischievous, sexy, young Phantom of the Opera.
My loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Aaron!! ♥♥
Nothing beats the original cast. Woo. Also, go Alice Ripley. This made me feel better.
Yep, Aaron Tveit (Tah-Vate). He plays the dead son, Gabe, although you don't know his name until one of the last songs in the show.
BRILLIANT!!! :-)
*drools* he's amazing
2:43 is definitely my favorite part.
okay this is proof that lyrics are never set in stone
He's SO talented. Kinda a shame that his absolute gorgeousness makes some people overlook his voice!
I love you. That reference just. I love you.
Pure theatre magic.
THAT BOY IS FINNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
jesus he's beautiful.
lolol. at 0.46 he does this little shoulder thing. its cute.
this is great!
i love that thing he does at 3:10 where he is like "oh come on!" hahaha he is so fucking hot!
This song reminds me A LOT of BBC's Sherlock's Moriarty.
DAMN!! I love Aaron
If you listen closely at 2:50 you can hear a tiny tremor in his voice from when his shoulder hit the pole
I think Enjolras's part is in good hands.
i love you Aaron.
This song is so high.
"Warning: Aaron Tveit's singing may cause women to become impregnated."
Sweet.
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!
Me: im gonna ace this maths test, what could go wrong
Enjolras: i'm alive
God, Gabe is amazing...
7 people have no soul.....Aaron is a GOD.
That move at 1:29 is HILARIOUS!!!
aaron is how i pictured a perfect prince charming! :D
THIS. LOOKS. SO. FUN.
ok thanks , good to know his name ...:)
and yah I know you only know the name at one of the last song -saw it in hebrew
I wonder if Aaron Tveit played in more musicals ....what a voice ...
My friend showed me his voice. I was like there is no way his hotness can match up to that VOICE. And then it did. .... :/... :).... :D....XD XD XD
yea, i noticed that. but, wow, he is stil really good
Things I don't mind: Aaron Tveit on a pole. ;)
Guys, Aaron Tveit can pile dance. My life is complete.
Maybe Aaron was Spiderman in another life :) He is so flexible AND man he can sing. Such an amazing tenor. Mmm. Sing it, boy.
@elphiegreen I absolutely agree. His expression at that part is PERFECT, just like the rest of him.♥
VOICEGASM
its like if you watch somebody and there wonderful your like oh my god i gotta be this guy and thats how i reacted
Does anybody have this show in full?! I'd bloody well love to see it. Aaron makes my life complete.
@Muziekvrouw the way i see it is ....
that's what the mother hears in her head...she can not let go of her dead son ...so she keeps him alive inside of her...he died as a baby but, she sees him growing up....and this is how she sees him at age 18.
YUMM!!
this was on my THIRD birthday
