“Requiem” from DEAR EVAN HANSEN performed by Mallory Bechtel | DEAR EVAN HANSEN 

i was nervous about laura leaving but i can see zoe is in good hands- er, lungs

My heart says yes but my vocal range says no

what the crap her voice is so good? she's a perfect zoe. also lets appreciate the peeps playing instruments in the background smiling at her because me too.

i feel like Laura makes her sound more angry, Mallory makes her sound more innocent and hurt.

I just realized that Zoe basically expresses that she is not going to lie about Connor to make anyone feel better, not even herself. That is the total opposite of what Evan does.

Her voice is so... smooth? Perfect?? This is the first time I've ever heard her sing and I'd already die for her.

wait hold up it says she graduated high school three months ago aka she’s 18 aka she’s more successful at 18 than i’ll ever be

WOW SOMEONE WHOS AGE ACTUALLY FITS A HIGH SCHOOL ROLE

She has the voice of a Disney character

Me: *absentmindedly listening to while studying* Her: “you were the flood-“ Me: *is shook* “WHATTTT”

Crops watered Skin clear Depression cured Wig snatched

All I need now is a duet between Mallory and Laura!

I was really nervous about Laura leaving, but I know Mallory is gonna be a great Zoe. Her voice is so _smooth_ and she has that innocent highschool feel that is perfect for Zoe. It's awesome.

I think she actually sounds more genuine as that innocent teenager. Maybe because she actually is one but she has that sweet breathy voice and amazing bird like vibrato. I just saw the show and her and Mrs. Hanson stole it! They were standouts! As soon as I heard her voice, I was like, wow she’s good.

i saw her in dear evan hansen last week, and she was absolutely amazing. i was so stunned by her performance and her voice, and she really came off as an innocent teenage girl. if you're going soon or plan to, you will not regret seeing it. the whole current cast gives you such an amazing feel.

What’s so weird is I’ve been following Mallory on RU-vid for years and watching her videos and always being like “she’s deffo making it to broadway” and here she is

I like how she graduated high school recently because she really had that young Zoe vibe

I love the solo lyrics??? Her voice is perfect???? I'm quaking????????? skdjdhsjsksjdhdjghjd edit: holy hecking frick this got a lot of likes I wasn't expecting that thanks guys

I just realized the writers mentioned one time that Requiem was originally a solo song. This is probably the original version of Requiem with just Zoe which is why it has the changed lyrics.

Okay, she has the perfect voice, the perfect poise for Zoe or highschool student, yadda yadda yadda... But can we take a moment to appreciate the music? Like the 4 men in the background? Especially the viola work... blew me away!

Can anyone explain how she went from high school to Broadway? Like how do you do that? (She 100% deserves it don't get me wrong)

Edit: Thank you all for your gorgeous comments... I'm happy others are able to find comfort in relating to my story

Her voice sounds so effortlessly sweet. Its just so pretty. Its such a freaking pretty voice. I cant handle this

Her vocals sound so effortless, yet are infused with such a perfect emotional arc. I really appreciate her subdued physical acting, as it makes the drama and crystal clarity of her voice that much more striking. Despite her youth, it's a very mature creative choice and a sign of an already seasoned performer. My university sometimes gets comp tickets to Broadway shows, so I've been holding out for Dear Even Hansen (yeah right!) but this broke student may have to just bite the bullet and shell out some dough. It'll be well worth it.

I love how she played this so effortlessly. She didn't 'act', she just played the truth.

She has such a beautiful voice. Also the fact that she’s still so young makes her perfect for the role honestly

Eighteen and on broadway. Wow.

SHE’S SO AMAZING! I was upset that I wouldn’t be seeing it with Laura, but Mallory is so good! She’s a perfect Zoe! EDIT: Thanks for the likes!

I saw her as Elle I’m legally blonde like 3 years ago or something in her school musical and now she’s on broadway. Crazy.

to quote some other comments on here, PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY YOU COWARDS. im so disappointed you didn't add it to the deluxe album.

When you first started singing, I loved the gentle voice you had, thought it went really well with the song; but then when you went into your beautiful falsetto I just melted. And THEN you went and put a ton of bite into your singing, showing the versatility of your voice; never the less I was very impressed. In short, you sound amazing!

You know, Requiem was originally a solo for Zoe. Is this how it went?

She's got such a gorgeous voice! Also, petition for Sincerely Me to be the next song to be given this treatment. I need a video of Taylor, Alex and whoever is the Jared of the moment singing it live.

Why is this not on the deluxe album OR spotify???

This is just the textbook definition of perfect. My dream is to sing like this girl. A perfect voice. A perfect Zoe.

1) i forgot how much i love the solo version of this song 2) Mallory is absolutely phenomenal and i cannot wait to see what she does after DEH

The real question here Are we calling these Hansendrops?

Since it’s a solo piece for her and you might want to use this as a solo cover sometime... [LYRICS] Why should I play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Such a great son and wonderful friend Oh, don't the tears just pour I could curl up and hide in my room There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow I could give in to all of the gloom But tell me, tell me what for Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I start to break in pieces? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight You were the flood that swallowed us whole. Reusing the love we endlessly gave you. You were fire out of control. The blaze that couldn’t be tamed. Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I start to break in pieces? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight Cause when the villains fall The kingdoms never weep No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So don’t tell me that I didn’t have it right Don’t tell me that it wasn’t black and white After all you put me through Don’t say it wasn’t true That you are not the monster... That I knew... Cause I... Cannot play the grieving girl and lie. Saying that I miss you, And that my world has gone dark. I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem Tonight... Oh... Oh...

Alex looks so proud of Mallory, it warms my heart. The glances she keeps giving her radiate pride. He's so sweet.

I love that they're casting actors and actresses who are actually teenagers. They bring a new level of honesty to the show!

Okay, this is great and all, but when are we going to get "Good for You"? We lost all three originals and I want to hear the new actors so badly.

the decision to cast mallory as zoe was sooo good. i feel like she already portrays a high schooler so well (obviously she just graduated, but she has this innocent brightness that makes it really believable). i’m 100% i’m gonna be a huge fan of her when i hear more. she’s so talented !!

[LYRICS W/ "NEW" VERSE] Why should I play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Such a great son and wonderful friend Oh, don't the tears just pour I could curl up and hide in my room There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow I could give in to all of the gloom But tell me, tell me what for Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I start to break in pieces? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight ["NEW" VERSE] You were the flood that swallowed us whole Refusing a love we endlessly have you You were a fire out of control The blaze that couldn't be tamed Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I say I'll keep you with me? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you and that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem Tonight 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white After all you put me through Don't say it wasn't true That you were not the monster That I knew 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem tonight Oh, oh

I think that Mallory's voice kind of brings the more innocent high school girl to Zoe, and Laura has the sort of bitter, beyond her years quality. Both are AMAZING though 👍

Mallory is so talented. Thank you for this upload!

I’ve legit watched Mallory’s videos for forever. Pun not intended

I could die happy getting that smile/nod of approval from Alex Lacamoire

can we take a minute just to think about how this girl only just graduated from high school then landed in a role like this

in my opinion, Zoe is confused. she’s mad because, how she says herself, Connor denied the love that they always gave him and caused a lot of trouble to their family.but even dough she says that she wont play the grieving girl and he’s the villan of the story, there’s still love and pain hidden in all of that anger... that’s so sad

She just graduated few months ago from high school Sometimes I look myself as a failure but nevermind

Sincerely me with the current cast would be awesome.

I would greatly appreciate a Michael Lee Brown and Mallory Bechtel “If I Could tell Her” some time on this channel

I grew up doing theater with Mallory, she was always such a star. Probably once a year on I go back and watch this video and get chills every time🫶🏼

I've listened to this way to many times it's becoming a problem...

okay... i did SO not expect these new lyrics to be added. and when i heard them, my heart stopped for a second. i love these kinds of things when creators make a new version off a song and add new lyrics to it, just like they did with burn and first burn. it sheds a whole new light on the song, and also gives us more of an insight to how connor was in the family. obviously you hear it in the show, but not in the soundtrack, i always felt like it was kind of limited, wich was indeed the whole point of connor’s character but even in requiem, i felt like something was missing, and this just made it so much better. thank you for making this. best of luck to mallory, i hope she has a great time at dear evan hansen.

Is it bad that I kinda like this one better than the original?

My man Lac is JAMMIN back there.

This just destroyed me. Such a beautiful, pure, powerful performance. And a stunning arrangement by Mr. Lacamoire. (Also love Lac just smiling in the background at how awesome Mallory is at 2:08 :D)

My heart says yes....AND MY VOCAL RANGE ALSO SAYS YES!! I feel accomplished! I’m a Soprano with a wide range!!

right so when can i start streaming this on spotify???

One second she's in Hereditary and now she's in one of the best broadway coming of age stories ever and from the look of it, it looks like Mallory is about to become a highly recognizable face in both Hollywood and Broadway and from this video I'm definitely going to be keeping up with her and look forward to see whatever she does next.

I keep coming back because I can't get enough of Mallory. Her voice is so perfect ❤

If Alex Lacamoire is behind the music, you will cry.

This version should have been on the deluxe recording!

i was gonna comment something about her not quite doing it bc i miss laura but fuck me she's actually slaying so hard

Holy hell she's incredible. And those new lyrics? I gasped, this is spectacular.

I saw her on her first night as Zoe and she completely blew me away. What an incredible voice.

Should have cast her for the movie. She's the right age and her voice is absolutely beautiful. The perfect Zoe

Ok but from the side she looks SO much like (a mini) Laura

the new lyrics???? i’m shook

How the heck is her voice SO GOOD!?!? Seriously, when I first listened to this, I cried so much... It's so beautiful. O_O

She's amazing. And she recently graduated high school?! This girl has talent!

Zoe: "I will sing no requiem tonight" Passione: Aight Imma head out now

If Eliza hated Hamilton after his death this would be her song😢

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD it’s also really good to know that Zoe’s in good hands or... lungs in this case I was a little worried and upset when Laura left but I’m really happy with the new Zoe

I have been sung to by an angel. A pure, beautiful, angelic and amazing angel who can sing beautifully. Whenever this angel sings, everyone stops and listens. She gets a standing ovation every show or performance. People get on top of shoulders and clap and cheer. This beautiful person has the most amazing voice ever

“You were the flood that swallowed us whole.” AND I OOP

Every day, I cry because this is not on Spotify

This the best version of the song I have ever heard.

the fact that this version isn't on spotify continues to haunt me

Okay, because of how amazing this is, it is not a song from DEH, it is Mallory’s song. It just is.

This song perfectly captures how complicated family dynamics can be. Probably my favorite song in the whole show! Seeing it in june! 😊

After seeing Mallory in the new PLL I had to come back to this vid, she’s just soooo talented 🤩🤩

Oh my god. This girl has SUCH a BEAUTIFUL VOICE and lovely tone. She can make any part of the song emotional. I am obsessed with her voice.

The best generation, I LOVE THIS 18 AND ON BROADWAY. ILL GET THERE, but for now ill watch this over and over because the musicianship is amazing

Just out of high school!? Her voice fits Zoe perfectly, it's smooth and innocent and her minor acting in this video alone looks effortless. She's the complete package

I wish she reprise her role as Zoe in the DEH movie. Andrew too as Evan. They're the perfect cast.

One of the things that really stood out to me about this play is how Zoe must have felt the entire time Evan was lying. She describes her brother as extremely violent and unloving, so when he dies she basically feels nothing, but in this song she basically decides that no matter what she won’t grieve him. I find it interesting. She must be going through some conflicting feelings already now that her brother is dead, but it must be even worse now that Evan has started lying about their relationship together, thinking, “why wasn’t he like this with me?”

Broadway has given me several songs that hit how I feel right on the nose. This included. Today especially this song rings true with my relationship with my brother. He isn't dead, just toxic but loves playing the victim. I won't feel guilty about keeping him at a distance. Maybe one day I'll play this for him.

Perfect performance, expressing denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance all at once! Well done!

We are living for a survivor calling out an abuser on all their bullshit and owning their silent anger

Mallory: Why- Me: *sobs uncontrollables*

this is a damn neat perfect way this song should be rendered. it starts out sweetly and innocently, showing the high school innocence. the falsetto is soft, like she’s thinking and feeling badly about the way she feels. she becomes angry and belts her voice- and it’s a perfect display of zoe and the way she feels. obsessed.

OHHHHH, those soft, clear high notes. And a belt clear as day. God, I love her.

can someone make an instrumental just for this version? please?!

I'm the biggest Laura dreyfuss stan I know but wow!! this is so good!!! I'm shook

fabulous job Mallory; as a former Houstonian, so proud of you. We'll be there to see your show (again) soon. Would also love to see you sing "Only Us" with Taylor or MLB

This girl is proof that amazing and angelic singing is also the product of hard work, training, and experience, not just talent. She's been training and doing musicals since the age of 4 and she's 18 here. If you watch her earlier videos of her singing, she didn't always have such a clear tone. She was always a good singer, but she didn't sing as clearly when she was younger.

I am truly blown away, that amount if talent she has is astonishing. She did amazing.
