You have great taste, Eleanor!  :-)  

Readers -- there is a rationale circulating out there (via my sister and others on the internet) that it's not fair to compare Nick to Michael, as Nick is 18 and Michael is an experienced singer.  But Michael was only 23 when Les Mis opened in London!  And the girls who played Cosette and Eponine in the 25th anniversary concert are very young and appear to be around Nick's age.  They have phenomenal voices and could also act.  So that argument is officially dead.
