I was lucky enough to see his performance this past March just before everything shut down and he was awesome ... wish he would have had the chance to play the role in the movie.
Saw Sam last week on the stage of Noel Coward Theatre in London: He was absoutely brilliant and his whole acting was breathtaking. Do not miss to see him on stage !!!!!!
Sam not only sings this wonderful song to perfection but, he's acting the part at the same time and his expressions are simply perfect too. I will certainly be following his career in the future. A true new talent,Sam will, I'm sure be a very successful actor/singer for many years to come.
One of the things I love so much is every Evan I've seen performing live always goes into character whether it's during the stage show or during a standalone performance like this.
Someone should produce a split screen of Sam Tutty’s performance with Ben Platt’s. The two of them are so emotive when they sing in this role. Impressive performance, I hope to see him perform live someday.
It's a bit unfair to compare anybody to Ben Platt as some are doing here. He is a beast. Were he alive and reaching his peak during the Golden Age of Broadway musicals, his legend would be vast and his haul of award statues would need an 18-wheeler to move. I mean it. Go back and listen to lead male vocal performances from that period. Ben blows all of them away. Now to Sam. Younger singers have a hard time in Broadway musicals because the male singing voice doesn't begin to even knock on the door of being peak until the late twenties. In this regard, Ben Platt is an absolute freak of nature. Sam has a great voice and he uses it well. Importantly, from what I've seen in the few clips, pirated and otherwise, that I've been able to watch, Sam does a fantastic job of acting the part of Evan Hansen. His approach is different than Ben's, but that's what happens when a new actor tackles a roll. What Sam seems to bring is something different yet incredibly credible and sincere. It's a bit underplayed as compared to Ben. And that is something that I would probably enjoy more.
This mans voice is beautiful however I do believe Ben Platt was perfect for the film, his voice is powerful, strong, and moving and just was perfect for a film
100% agree. I never write comments on RUclips but this guy is so off pitch. Completely butchered the song. Saw him live in March and he wasn’t any better
@@lanac1403 oh my god girl, youre my new spirit animal. It's like ppl can't hear the tones he's totally missing and goes offkey with his falsetto. I didn't want to be that one guy to ruin this but blindly saying he's amazing while ppl have no notion about what they're talking about gets to me very easily.
@@TheMasterwitcher me too! I was looking in the comments in disbelief reading all that praise! his voice would literally get swept away with a slight breeze because its so weak and offkey! Bens voice cuts through everything - can't wait to see the movie with Ben Playing Evan! =)
Not tone-deaf at all but hearing something with a close listen that you seem to not be tuning into. And that's okay because we all look for something different in live or live to tape musical performances
Sam is such an underrated Evan. He can sing so good, and his interpretation of the character is just a masterpiece
Sam is excellent.
But I don't see how you can say he's "underrated," when he won the nation's highest possible award for his performance.
@@messy10 I mostly meant in the DEH fandom, people often forget about Sam. Compared to the other actors who played Evan, he’s not talked about a lot..
He is not underrated at all. He is rightly one of the most highly rated performers on the west end right now.
He can sing so WELL...
sam tutty is my teacher's son! :D
This was just a vocal performance but we all can see he was 100% in character of Evan the whole time. Just Amazing
Yes, those facial tics were amazing.
Beautiful performance. Evan Hansen's uncertainty and fear shows through Sam's voice and mannerisms. Let's hope he can return to the stage soon!!
I just watched him perform Dear Evan Hansen and can guarantee he’s still just as great! Even better I might say haha
Mate i got to see him in dead evan hansen just a week or two ago and he was so amazing. Wouldntve been the same without him
Saw him yesterday…… literally changed my life
@@britishboy2757 How could you see him if Hansen was "dead"? 🤔😉
@@l.a.3479 …no comment…
His facial expressions are just perfect 👌🏼

Saw Sam last week on the stage of Noel Coward Theatre in London: He was absoutely brilliant and his whole acting was breathtaking. Do not miss to see him on stage !!!!!!
When did you see it?
Sam Tutty is on another level as an actor, his portrayal of Evan in brilliant
*is*
Sam not only sings this wonderful song to perfection but, he's acting the part at the same time and his expressions are simply perfect too. I will certainly be following his career in the future. A true new talent,Sam will, I'm sure be a very successful actor/singer for many years to come.
Acting comes naturally for him. He is even in character even though he is just standing there.
He was totally in character during this performance. Bravo.
The fact that he did this at like 8 oclock in the morning is just amazing...this guy is a super human. How does he do it!!
One of the best vocal performances of this song I’ve seen. The way his belts almost surprise him is perfect for the role of Evan.
He's an incredible performer. He blew me away in the "Four Evans" video.
No words except PURE TALENT
Enjoyed how he played with the phrasing.
Absolutely wow. Nailed it Sam!!! 😮
2:22-2:28 - great expression of despair and sorrow that comes with loneliness
I saw him from the front row and he is the most authentic by far.
Saw Sam as Evan last week. He was incredible 🤴🏽
Could listen to this all day, Sam is so talented, and he’s so good as Evan Hansen! I absolutely love him!💕
even his eyes are freakin' talented!
This gentleman is brilliant! Great Interpretation of the role! Bravo!
Best Even. Period.
Sam *is* Evan Hansen. There are some great Evans, but Sam absolutely is the best, no question.
unfortunately ..yes ..thats pretty much right 😒
I love Sam as Evan. So much emotion in his beautiful voice!
I watched the show a few days ago and WOW he is such a talent, perfect for Evan!!!
I´ve just seen Sam live. He was stunning! I fell in love with his performance. The whole West Ende cast ist just amazing
I live in America and wish I could fly to England just to see Sam’s performance.
When did you see him?
One of the things I love so much is every Evan I've seen performing live always goes into character whether it's during the stage show or during a standalone performance like this.
His emotions broke me, I am crying😭😭
I watched his show in London last August. Hope to watch more of his work when I get back
Someone should produce a split screen of Sam Tutty’s performance with Ben Platt’s. The two of them are so emotive when they sing in this role. Impressive performance, I hope to see him perform live someday.
Best performance I've ever seen live. Well deserved.
Holy cow! He smashed it.
Him fidgeting with his hands really puts him in even
He did such a good job! Congrats Sam! 💙
Sam Tutty is brilliant in this role 👍🏻❤️👌
So freaking good ... Well Done Sam 👏🏼
What an incredible performance, I could listen to this all day 🥰 Sam is so damn talented
Amazing!! Congratulations, Sam! 👏
This guys is the close nemesis of Ben! ❤ he brings a different flavor!
he has my whole heart
I desperately want to watch this musical on stage
It will make you choke up and laugh so much, its amazing.
Agreeeddd definitely do it it’s worth the money
hes my favourite evan for sure
I love this! It's the only key I can sing comfortably in
What a beautiful voice and it’s a great song because i love the way that he sings that song so well
I saw Sam when I saw DEH last year! Fantastic performer
Wow what an inspiring song on the steps of the worlds top theatre The London Palladium.
I love how he's actually acting nervous :)
What a performance
I love his voice 😍 I’d love to see him as Orpheus in Hadestown on the west end!
He is one of the most believable Evans.
Amazing thanks 😊
He is amazing 😍💙
Sam is such an underrated Evan.
First on my list, when theatres are open again. 🎵❤
this and hamilton
He should've played Evan in the movie. So talented!
Yeah and he doesn’t look 35
@3:05 gave me goosebumps
Fabulous want to see this once life returns to some kind of normal
Very good performance!
Wow, just WOW
one of my favourite evan’s!!!
Great job!
WHOA... HAHAHAH It was premiered on my bday, amazing performance
wow this song is sooo hard to sing and he did great!! wish I could have seen him in this but I'm american lol
So good.
Well done!
i think sam tops ben for me now i never EVER thought i would say that.
Awesome ❤❤❤
AMAZING ❤❤
His whole body is acting!
It's a bit unfair to compare anybody to Ben Platt as some are doing here. He is a beast. Were he alive and reaching his peak during the Golden Age of Broadway musicals, his legend would be vast and his haul of award statues would need an 18-wheeler to move.
I mean it. Go back and listen to lead male vocal performances from that period. Ben blows all of them away.
Now to Sam. Younger singers have a hard time in Broadway musicals because the male singing voice doesn't begin to even knock on the door of being peak until the late twenties. In this regard, Ben Platt is an absolute freak of nature. Sam has a great voice and he uses it well.

Actually, in the show, Ben is underplayed as compared to Sam.
A duet with Sam and Ben would be 😍
Not me having a massive crush on Sam Tutty that brought me here lol 💋✨
Amazing! The best Evan!🤩 sorry, Ben Platt.😞
God how I wish I could fly to London to see him perform as Evan
God has nothing to do with it.
Sam is by far the best Evan Hansen yet.
This mans voice is beautiful however I do believe Ben Platt was perfect for the film, his voice is powerful, strong, and moving and just was perfect for a film
Great
It’s his EYES!!!!!!!!
His facial tics are incredible.
Why didn't they do a UK tour with Sam
Bro why couldn’t he have been cast in the movie 🥲
Probably because Ben's father was one of the producers of the movie
Sam is a great singer. But I really missed the strings in this performance. And I felt like there was something off with that guitar...
Ikr...
Is there a live recording of the production he was in?
No
Keep coming back to this because a West End cast recording was never done. Sam is better Evan than Ben was.
should have been evan in the film
Brilliant performance but does this dude blink?
💐💐💐👌🎉
I wonder if he will get a to perform the role on Broadway
Those 2 dislikes doh. Why
They’re just jealous
He is not Sam Tully. HE IS EVAN HANSEN!!!!!
Is it just me, or does that guitar sound out of tune?
Oh look if hollyoaks fans have noticed its the creepy timmy from that program
UWU
20 people can't wave through a window.
He’s very emotive, but the singing is high school musical level. Good but not great. Especially when I can’t help but compare to all the iconic Evans.
Give the guy a break. This performance happened in a middle of a pandemic and no performance on West End at all. I think he is just a bit rusty.
Well sung and lovely acting. But boy...this song ist not a race. Sadly lost to much emotions. 😢
I'm sorry he's nowhere near as good as Ben Platt. He'll always be the one and only Evan. Plus half missing tones. I don't know if ppl are tone-deaf.
100% agree. I never write comments on RUclips but this guy is so off pitch. Completely butchered the song. Saw him live in March and he wasn’t any better
