Absolutely heart-breaking. I haven't seen Les Miz in 20 years, but after seeing his performance with LMM, I've been wanting to go back. 21 is much much too young. I don't even understand how something like this happens. So sad.
WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?! I really wish I had not read these. The man is dead. It was an accident. Yet somehow he committed suicide/gay guys and fire escapes don't mix/he was pushed? I really should quit the Internet.

I'm pretty sure half these people don't know what they're talking about. A comment said Les Mis is apparently closing, and it's because they hired a black Valjean which "hurt ticket sales". Uh, WTF?
Oh my. When I first saw the headline I thought there was some kind of mistake or even a hoax. It's shocking that, as so many have already said, a freak accident ended the life of someone who had solidified a spot in Les Mis history mere months ago.

Oh, I am sure you are correct and these people don't know what they're talking about. But it just makes me sick that people feel the need to make his death about his sexuality or his race. (I'm not sure whether he was gay or straight but WHO CARES?!?!?!) I should really know better than to read these comments.
He was a human being who died far too young. Period.
Ramin's speech as beautiful. I truly don't know how he (and the whole company) made it through the performances today.
I recently started following him on Twitter - I am so shocked. He made such an important impact on Broadway. His legacy will never be forgotten. I'm so sad. He was so young and talented.
Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.
I am so shocked at this news! When he performed at Ham4Ham I was like "wow, he is so talented" and I just watched his performance of Bring Him Home and it moved me to tears. He without a doubt would of had an amazing future ahead of him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and the production of Les Mis
Is there another way to link the Les Mis curtain call and speech that doesn't require signing in to Facebook?I'd love to see it but I'm not on Facebook.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I am reminded of a poem by the great Maya Angelou, entitled "When Great Trees Fall." This is but a part:
And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.
Wouldn't it be great if Broadwayworld.com could somehow "dim its lights" as a mark of respect too? I'm a web-building novice so I don't know how, but it would be nice if the site could honour those who pass from the Broadway community.
"When he shall die take him and cut him out into stars and he shall make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun."
I always think of this Shakespeare when a bright, young life is lost. Kyle's light is gone far, far too soon. How heartbreaking for his family, his friends and castmates.
