People forget Evan was probably 18; he was a senior in high school. I've seen plenty of seniors who look much older than they are. From trailers, Ben Platt looks really young- and it'd be difficult to have a movie without it being *his* voice. He takes the role so well, and there's something undescribable about it. People are just too picky.

"the fact that ben sounds 10x better live" i mean, yeah, but i think we have to remind ourselves that he (and practically all musical actors) are literally paid to sound better live. they deserve so much respect, killing it 8x a week, "sounding better live" every day. can't wait to see the movie

I just saw Dear Evan Hansen the movie yesterday with my brother and mom, it touched very close to home because I deal with social anxiety, regular anxiety and sometimes suicidal thoughts.. I often feel like I'm alone and have to hide things, and I wish I could tell people but when I try I start to tear up, but I found it easier to write and then give a note to a parent or guardian. Dear Evan Hansen has made me feel not as much alone, my family just doesn't see that I need help, but I don't blame them because I don't really shoe. Im often very happy and joyful but on the inside I sometimes just feel like disappearing. I often try to help my friends with their mental state, but I don't help mine, lots and lots of people feel like this and people really should know that they aren't alone. This movie makes me able to find something that I can really relate to. Its an awesome movie and I really think this will help some people!

Ikr, when he's voice cracks it still sounds gud, what da heck😭😭😭

Ben is the only one who can sing this song. Anybody else isn't the same, doesn't even come close and doesn't have the same impact.

Absolutely agree. Came back to hear this again and forgot how insanely STUNNING it is. He sounds so much better than he did during the Bway run, if that’s even possible!!? Not straining at all, it sounds healthy and unbelievably perfect. 😭 he is a god.

The way he acts, the way he sings.. Perfect❤

That run at 3:46 sent chills down my spine. I was pretty much jumping up and down the whole performance. This was a literally perfect. Masterclass on how to sing live. That was impeccable👏👏❤️🔥🔥

I thought the same. He carried off leading the ensemble and didn’t get lost or drowned out- you could always hear him. (Obviously the sound mixing was great too)

Ben simply justified the choice they made with him as Evan. Criticism doesn't affect him at all. Hero.

I showed my dad the trailer for the movie and we almost started crying and he said he would take me to see the movie when it comes out!

No matter how many times this hits my home page, still watch it again. As live performances go, this is absolutely one of the best I've ever heard, on a talent show or otherwise, Ben Platt absolutely bloody KILLS it here. Phenomenal talent!

What would life be without Ben Platt. He's a star, so humble and passionate about what he does. I love his acting too.

He has the most incredible voice I have ever heard.. someone who can sing so amazingly LIVE??? He’s 26! There have been waaay older ppl that have played high schoolers! Ever watched “Glee”? Cory Monteith was 31… but Ben playing Evan pisses you off? Ben brought Evan to LIFE. If anyone else played Evan I wouldn’t watch.

One of the most underrated vocalists

I’ve been listening to this song every day, never gets old!

i cannot wait to see dear evan hansen although i know i will get super emotional as the topic hits very close to home. i deal with depression, anxiety, loneliness and suicidal thoughts and i have been on a very very bumpy mental health journey and still am. i feel like this movie is needed by many. i'm just so happy to see mental health getting more recognition even if it is just through a movie. ❤️ and this song breaks my heart in the best way possible.

You should read the book. The musical is absolutely amazing for obvious reasons, but I think the book will help you deal with your inner demons as well. Keep going mate! I managed to escape the dark hole of depression myself, so I know the struggle, but you can do it. And as they sing in the song as well: “You are not alone!” ☝️😘

I can never relate to people who deal with this, and part of me wants to be able to understand how it truely feels, but the other part of me knows this isn't something I should hope to relate to. So all I can do for you is tell you that the fact you are still here, it is proof you are a strong person, and absolutely a fighter ❤️

This is the best I’ve ever heard from him. Those riffs are so smooth, and his upper range sounds effortless

God I was such a theater kid. I remember being obsessed with this soundtrack, especially in my darkest and absolute lowest. I wold play this exact song. Dear evan hanson thank you

I honestly think this is one of Ben's best performances. His vocals were crazy good in this performance it's like he wasn't even trying!

I don't care how old he is, his acting is outstanding and a lovely voice to go with it. Ben Platt has always been one of those actors and voices that always, how do I put this, makes me cry? I don't know but I could always feel and hear the emotion in his voice.

When he sang Zoe Murphy's part at 3:25 and hitting THAT high note... I felt CHILLS. I love you, Ben. This is an absolutely beautiful and amazing performance!

arguably his best live performance. absolutely stunning.

I keep coming back to this, because I can't shake the feeling that this performance is special. We've seen Ben sing this as a kid, timid, where the words are hopeful but unsure. This Ben is older, more confident, and he's singing with more conviction, no longer hoping, but knowing that you WILL be found.

Who else remembers watching Ben Platt sing in “Pitch Perfect”? Such an amazing singer, actor, and role model! 👏🏻❤️

He’s beautiful.

I will NEVER tire of hearing Ben Platt sing Dear Evan Hanson songs. The tone, the emotion? 💯 unmatched.

He made it a solo, and yes it might have lost the magic of the original recording, of the ensemble, but it gained a whole new magic and feeling 🥺 I mean, have him sing the phone book and it'll be a hit 😭

Please tell me no one had to perform after him because ...how could you? That was sheer mic drop perfection. Ben Platt has the most spectacular voice. I wouldn't want to be the one to sing after him... especially since I would be balling in the corner from listening to his beautiful voice.

Wdym hes sang this like a thousand times

I went and saw him on tour for his album Reverie and honestly was one of the most beautiful performances I have ever witnessed. His voice is perfect and he shared stuff about the songs and it was beautiful. I had the chills for at least half of the performance. It was concert I was ridiculously loud at just because I wanted to hear his voice. I love Ben Platt and his music, it has gotten me through some of my worst depression spirals. His song "Dark Times" will always be my go to when I'm not myself some days.

My favourite singer, what a voice, such emotion, flawless performance.

I was in the audience! We had to watch him sing it five times and it was amazing!

2:07 is a CLEAN riff
