It’s never too early to start getting into Broadway musicals, as we’ve learned from this toddler named Koen.
Watch this three-year-old musical aficionado deliver a passionate rendition of “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from Les Miserables. He does this while standing atop a piano bench and appears to have a broken arm, but that doesn’t stop him from giving it his all.

Koen may not know every word, but he comes quite close. Plus, it’s really his commitment to the craft that matters most here.
