'Dear Evan Hansen' star Ben Platt on how he, the cast perform emotional musical | ABC News 

THEY 👏FINALLY 👏SAID 👏A 👏TEEN 👏WITH 👏ANXIETY 👏AND 👏NOT 👏A 👏SHY 👏TEEN 👏

observing Ben platt in his natural habitat...”listen, you can hear him vocalizing!”

“All of us have felt moments of isolation” People in 2020: lol

Dear God when you here him vocalizing through his door, chills

Ben Platt is such an amazing actor and individual. He grew up in an upper class family (his father is a big time Broadway and Film Producer) and has remained very humble and grounded! Kudos to his parents for raising such a fine young man!

Okay but is no one going to talk about Will Roland, Mike Faist and Michael Parks suddenly becoming fashion experts

musical theatre is breaking the internet

That's what we need: a an HD close up filming of the show. Like they did recently with Newsies.

What Ben says at 6:05 is absolutely amazing. Love him.

CAUSE I'VE LEARNED TO SLAM ON THE BREAKKKKKKSSS, BEFORE I EVEN TURNNN THE KEYYY

"Kinky!" -Jared ❤

eight actors... that is amazing

Dear Evan Hansen is such a fucking gorgeous show, the emotions that rush through everyone who watch it is so raw and real and I feel as if all these characters are so real.. The music is so good I can honestly talk about this show for ever.. Its just fantastic and 500% worth the watch.

I never thought I would be obsessed with anything or anyone EVER, and then musicals where thrust upon me, introducing me to Lin, and Hamilton- WHICH LED ME TO ALL MUSICALS- WHICH LED ME TO DEH AND BEN PLATT. his VIBRATO GIVES ME LIFE- and I mean, his existence... :))))))

These clips give me hope that they’ll professionally film the entire show & release it one day

Awww man, I want to see this so badly!!! :'(

"A teen crippled with anxiety" MEE ALSO IM GLAD THEY DIDNT SUGAR COAT THAT SHIT AND SAY "A SHY TEEN"

I'm fully devastated that I'll never see the OBC of DEH - they are all in their own ways absolutely incredible

I love their excitement over the jacket

Beautiful cast. Beautiful interview from Ben and Rachel. Both amazing actors and people. ❤️ #youwillbefound . I hope Ben and the cast gets all the 9Tony's lol! , so deserved! Even if not, the show will live on!

Mike, Will, and Michael being so wonderful to her and complimenting her jacket as she spun made my heart all fuzzy. also, words can't even describe Ben and how much I love him. I think everyone feels that way. I'm so glad Broadway and Broadway performers are becoming more accessible and appreciated (being on big news outlets, etc). this beautiful message and story deserves all the love it's received.

They won best musical

“i feel like we’ve all felt feelings of isolation” covid-19: hold my hand sanitizer

It's at times like this I hate being Australian

Apparently Ben and most of the cast is leaving My heart is broken ;w;

I legit got goosebumps when there was the clip of Ben singing waving through a window, it’s so beautiful.

I really wished I could've seen the musical.. I unfortunately dont live in america but when I will I swear that the first thing I do is watch this with or without Ben! This musical has helped me so much...

I feel like whenever I watch this musical I'm going to cry. It talks about topics that I can relate to (suicide and anxiety) and the acting is just great.

Before it passes by... 2 yrs later and it's still known as one of the best on Broadway

I went to see it and the ENTIRE audience was sobbing at the number with Evan and his mom. I hope they win the Tonys because jesus no other show has affected me or an entire audience for that matter like that.

Looks like the dude from Pitch Perfect. I got the magic in me!!! Oh shit!!!!

I'M A TEEN FROM UTAH AND I LOVE BEN PLATT

I'm literally in love with Ben Platt lol help

Boy, she called it. “And the Tony goes to, Ben Platt”, 👏👏 And she was right!!! 🙌👏👏 congrats to Ben and the crew 👏👏

1:12 ever since this role I ADORED him, his voice is so unique, and he conveys emotion so well.

Woah, I got chills during all the people singing waving through a window

I saw DEH on national tour today and it was draining watching it. My eyelashes literally had salt on them from crying so much. I’ve listened to and memorized the soundtrack for over a year now and this show just means so much to me I couldn’t believe I saw it live.

WAIT THERE IS A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING OF DEH OK I WILL SELL MY SOUL FOR IT

AAAHHHH I'm subbed to their RU-vid channel, their music is amazing, and I relate to Evan's character with my own anxiety issues. Ben Platt is also amazing as Evan Hansen.

I just can't believe Ben platt is gone. 🙁 Also my grandma saw this show with Ben platt in it! So jealous! 😡

omg i need to know where all of those clips from the show are from.

I was bullied In episodes from 1-9 Grade better In 8. And 9. Grade I am In 11. Grade and everything is grate but I dont trust my friends yet I have some lack Of trust In me and scared for social interactions. I was just diagnosed with social anxiety And I have depressive episodes I relate to Evan and Connor

The anxiety aspect of this musical relates to me so much. I love this show so much. Everyone who has ever been in/worked on this so is so amazingly beautiful and talented. This is such an amazing musical and is really important to me and so many others.

A lot of the art that is coming out these days, be it musicals, movies, tv shows, etc it's truly showing me that I'm not alone and I wish I had then when I was going through high school. Sure I had some good outlets but nothing with the kind of representation that is showing these days. It's really a beautiful thing.

I never realized how deep Ben's natural speaking voice is

I wish I could have seen Dear Evan Hansen with Ben platt 😩😩😩 I love him so much and I’m such a huge fan

Did you have to show so big/so small?! why!

I can’t put into words how much I love this show

The last question and Ben's answer about 'not being hard on yourself' made me burst out in tears. This cast and show really speaks to so many and helps many more xx

"we're a tight-knit family" was that a falsettos reference

*Holy crap dear Evan Hansen gives me LIFE*

I'M CRYING COZ I CAN'T SEE IT LIVE😭😭

How does the cast do it....they are THAT good!!!!

I’m so excited to see this bc I’m really hoping it’ll teach me how to deal with my own anxiety and the music is amazing. Heck, the entire thing is amazing!

Dear Evan Hansen is truly a wonderful musical. It showed me that I am not alone and I can reach out to others even in the darkest of times. I have depression, not as strong as connors... but this musical really helps me and when im in the darkest of times, you can sometimes hear me singing you will be found while im crouched on my school desk with my hood on. I have amazing friends who know what i am going through. Some of my friends even battle the same thing as me. We help each other out and this musical taught us that we can inspire others to not let them experience the same thing thats happening to us: the fear of being alone and nobody cares about you. Remember... Someone will reach a Hand to you.Thank you Evan Hansen. #YouWillBeFound (Plus I have the biggest crush on Mike Faist aka Connor so....yay!) If you are one of those people who toke the time to read this comment... thanks :)

BEN PLATT IS SO SWEET

ben platt you are so talented and you inspired so many people!!! I love you so much!

Sooooo glad he won

His last message just made me tear up big time. Omg.

When ABC News doesn't correctly capitalize their title.

I love him he makes me feel like I’m not alone

I saw it on Wednesday night for the first time and absolutely loved it!!!

He is so cute. He looks like a teddy bear that was made human. Adorable.

Thank you legend Ben Platt for being this and being there for people like me. We love Dear Evan Hansen And Ben Platt!❤ Ben does the best descriptions I HAVE TO SEE IT and love this!

YESSS and he got his freaking tony 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Best Musical for all people

I probably won’t be able to see the musical but I’m listening to the audiobook of the novel and I’m loving it.

Ben Platt is the KING! King of Broadway, I tell u. He's. so. freaking. CUTE! And I love how humble he is. That's the best quality in a superstar actor. I love my Benny Boo. lol

I added this to my private youtube library named "to cheer up"

i’m so sad that ben isn’t doing the show anymore;(

I am so glad they both won.

why am i crying at an interview

"Are you ready to hear, 'and the tony goes to Ben Platt'?" "Well, I mean..." WELL THAT SURE AGED WELL

i really love their songs i wished i could watch the show

I LOVE THIS MAN

I CANT BELIEVE IM GOING TO SEE THIS OMG IM SO HAPPY

Ben killed this role

He better be in the DEH movie

Ben's face when he laughs gives me joy.

I just saw it this year and was like WHY WASNT I APART OF THE HYPE! 😭

GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICALL-

Such a great interviewer! Great interview!

lol me and ben are same i dont talk to anyone like that before going on to save energy lol

I love this show so much. It means so much to me. My moms not a huge fan of it but still let’s me listen to it. She doesn’t see (probably cuz she hasn’t listened to the entire thing) the message behind the drugs and suiscide but she know that I love it and enjoy it so she lets me listen to it. The show just has such a amazing message of your not alone in your struggles we all go though ruff times. I wish I could talk about BMC bu I 100% know that if she listened to like any of the songs she wouldn’t let me listen to it anymore. But once again with BMC the message is so strong I’d be yourself don’t change who you are as a person to fit someone else’s viewpoint. Musicals mean so much to me even more so with DEH and BMC

I love Ben

Awwwwwww aaaaahhh Ben is talking so fast at the beginning aaah

I've begged my mom days on end to get me tickets and when she tries, they're sold out all the way til december, and ben leaves in november. ive never been genuinely sadder that i won't be able to see the show that saved me. :'(

I cried throughout the whole show from start to finish. No wonder they had tissue boxes at the entrance

"We're all a tight knit family" nIcE fAlSeTtOs ReFeReNcE ;)

We have tickets in January... and I have no doubt that I will be sobbing through the entire show...

Playing this masterpiece once is already challenging. Doing this everyday is a whole new different level.

It’s a shame this wasn’t recorded live for mainstream release. This is such an impactful show, and so many people will never get the chance to see it. From his very first song... I felt it in my soul... and cried understanding tears throughout. And no one can ever beat the original cast, especially when it comes to Ben Platt’s Evan. It’s so, so beautiful. This show, and really all shows, should be shared with the rest of the world... people of all ages... those who can’t afford to travel and see it live.

BEN IS MY HERO!

WHEN MIKE APPEARED ON STAGE I WAS LIKE M I K E

Where can we see those snips they used? :((( like the waving through a window one at 0:42??

1:05 Is this part of Sincerely Me sped up or something? It's like crazy fast!

I love Ben's laugh and the DEHfamilies all over the world! I love the jokes and BHTS Love Ben just isolating to be Evan!

Ben!!!!!!!:D

Love

Does anyone know if there is a full HD recording (like the one they used here) of the show?
