GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:

THEY 👏FINALLY 👏SAID 👏A 👏TEEN 👏WITH 👏ANXIETY 👏AND 👏NOT 👏A 👏SHY 👏TEEN 👏
Sugar the Idiot OMG YAASSSS
Sugar the Idiot someone in a PBS video called it a "high school musical" and I wanted to fucking die
Sugar the Idiot god bless
They even said crippled too👏🏽👏🏽
I feel so strongly about this comment
observing Ben platt in his natural habitat...”listen, you can hear him vocalizing!”
Dear God when you here him vocalizing through his door, chills
I heard it and was like, "Oh my God, perfection."
Okay but is no one going to talk about Will Roland, Mike Faist and Michael Parks suddenly becoming fashion experts
I love how they were like "btw, I'm a fan of your jacket 💁🏻♀️"
Yesh queen
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!
I loved him in the Pitch Perfect movies and I never realized he was that talented. His dad should cast Ben in one of his upcoming projects like the Wicked movie.
My sister in law hosts at an upscale resturant he frequents in NYC and she has said many times that he is one of the kindest celebrities that she has ever met there. He even takes the time to learn the names of the people working.
Elizabeth Marie Like the character of Dolly Levi?
musical theatre is breaking the internet
thatlit theatregeek and i couldn't be happier
Me neither. I have been into musicals since High School Musical debuted on Disney Channel 12 years ago
Musical theatre is breaking my heart over and over again
And my heart
FINALLY! A trend I can relate to!
“All of us have felt moments of isolation”
People in 2020: lol
At least i still live with my brother and parents
We wish it were a moment...
Peoplenin 2020: *Am i a joke to you?*
But all joking aside, Holy crap i wanna read the book, but im 11 lol
I see you in EVERY comment section 🧍🏽♀️
@Maybell Eddy harmony
That's what we need: a an HD close up filming of the show. Like they did recently with Newsies.
Jamie_Jewel Someday maybe
Funny, cause Mike Faist(Connor) was in the Ensemble of the original Broadway cast of Newsies.

@@manuelorozco7760 I WANT THIS AAAAA
@@daneyyp3328 Beautiful show
That’s why I love Starkid. Why can’t deh be from Starkid?
What Ben says at 6:05 is absolutely amazing. Love him.
"Kinky!" -Jared ❤
rin matsuoka IM SEEING SO MANY CHATS IN THE COMMENTS
OKAY WE SHOULD TOTALLY BE FRIENDS WE BOTH LOVE MIRACULOUS LADYBUG AND DEH
I would totally like this- but it’s at 69 likes
eight actors... that is amazing
The last musical I saw with a minimal cast was Next to Normal which has the same director Michael Grief. Must be worthy of the Tony wins
Eight actors. All great actors
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'm obsessed with this show; this was the 2nd of many shows I've seen, the other being Aladdin, that I say it's better than Rent
CAUSE I'VE LEARNED TO SLAM ON THE BREAKKKKKKSSS, BEFORE I EVEN TURNNN THE KEYYY
lilvanz22 BEFORE I MAKE A MISTAKE, BEFORE I LEAD WITH THE WORST OF ME
I NEVER LET THEM SEE THE WOOOOORRRSSSSTTTTT, OOOOOOOF, MEEEEE
lilvanz22 cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew
Would they like what they saw?
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... :))))))
Lindsay Zhang that is exactly how I feel, spot on. Except I also like heathers and be more chill
Lindsay Zhang meeeetoooooooooooooooo
same, but my music teacher introduced me to hamilton 😂
SAME I was never into musicals and then Hamilton/DEH/Heathers/BMC just happened... it’s like making a new friend and being welcomed into the whole friend group (sorry if I bothered u since this comment was like an year ago but I just relate to this too much)
Lindsay Zhang OH MY GOD THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! This is exactly how it happened for me too I started with Hamilton too. I just feel like I’ve found my community. I’m 30!
"A teen crippled with anxiety"
MEE
ALSO
IM GLAD THEY DIDNT SUGAR COAT THAT SHIT AND SAY "A SHY TEEN"
Yea. I have social anxiety like him. This is hard to send this reply. I am not shy?
I love their excitement over the jacket
These clips give me hope that they’ll professionally film the entire show & release it one day
PBS should do it
Catie Lee - Here you go:
variety.com/2018/film/news/dear-evan-hansen-movie-universal-1203048797/
Let's hope they get the entire original Broadway cast to do it!
That would be the most amazing thing! It's sure as hell deserving of it
tux Sf OH MY GOD, IS THAT FOR REAL???? THATS AWESOME
@@s-h7015 - Yes, the movie adaptation of "Dear Evan Hansen" starring Ben Platt and produced by his father Marc Platt and Adam Siegel has been announced as of the end of November 2018. , However, it is not clear when the work on the movie will be scheduled, since Ben has been busy with his debut solo album "Sing to Me Instead" and will be starring in the new Netflix series "The Politician" with Laura Dreyfuss.
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.
“i feel like we’ve all felt feelings of isolation”
covid-19: hold my hand sanitizer
Awww man, I want to see this so badly!!! :'(
ProdigiousHdawg omg me too my cousin saw it she is so lucky
vaseline lip therapy Where tho??
I
Want
A
MOVIE!
I'm going too see it next year
Kinda wish they can record broadway musicals like that for people who are unable to go see it
Apparently Ben and most of the cast is leaving
My heart is broken ;w;
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!
I know they got 5. I missed the first few hours of the show though so IDK.
randomgirl L yes. They got 6! So happy for them! Totally deserved 🎉❤️
I'm fully devastated that I'll never see the OBC of DEH - they are all in their own ways absolutely incredible
Saskia At least I will see the touring cast on Saturday
I really, really wished I could have seen the original cast perform.
@@camilascatonebedin3002 me too man
They won best musical
Krishiha Sabendran did Ben platt not also win best actor?
Wow, spoiler man.
Before it passes by... 2 yrs later and it's still known as one of the best on Broadway
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.
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...
there is a recorded version of this with original cast on RUclips now
I legit got goosebumps when there was the clip of Ben singing waving through a window, it’s so beautiful.
It's at times like this I hate being Australian
Mickydees me toooooo
Oof. This is too real
Me too... It really hit me after going to New York
1:12 ever since this role I ADORED him, his voice is so unique, and he conveys emotion so well.
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.
Boy, she called it. “And the Tony goes to, Ben Platt”, 👏👏
And she was right!!! 🙌👏👏 congrats to Ben and the crew 👏👏
Woah, I got chills during all the people singing waving through a window
I'm literally in love with Ben Platt lol help
Mood girl...mood
Looks like the dude from Pitch Perfect. I got the magic in me!!!
Oh shit!!!!
John Smith lol he revealed he is really done with that song but yeah
Benjamin Applebottom
I'M A TEEN FROM UTAH AND I LOVE BEN PLATT
Abram in Wonderland me tooo
SAME
Same!
I'm a 12 year old from England that also loves Ben Platt
beep beep I’m a 16 year old from England who loves Ben Platt
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.
Carolyn Heinzer I’m seeing the national tour next month in Costa Mesa
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.
The anxiety relates to me too. I have mild high functioning autism actually
I can’t put into words how much I love this show
WAIT
THERE IS A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING OF DEH
OK I WILL SELL MY SOUL FOR IT
I wish I could have seen Dear Evan Hansen with Ben platt 😩😩😩 I love him so much and I’m such a huge fan
AAAHHHH I'm subbed to their RUclips 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.
same
I relate with the anxiety too
I never realized how deep Ben's natural speaking voice is
Did you have to show so big/so small?! why!
TheNeon Scorpion it's an important number just as every number in DEH is
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 wish i had a lot more time for TV between homework. But i saw some good movies and musicals back then. One example In the Heights which was LMM's breakout before Hamilton i saw when i was about to enter 11th grade.
"we're a tight-knit family" was that a falsettos reference
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
omg i need to know where all of those clips from the show are from.
I just can't believe Ben platt is gone. 🙁 Also my grandma saw this show with Ben platt in it! So jealous! 😡
lolipop fandom gone?
I just saw him in NYC on Saturday night? He was there:D
lolipop fandom He's not gone yet, after Nov 19th he will be tho
Tyler Stein Why?
*Holy crap dear Evan Hansen gives me LIFE*
How does the cast do it....they are THAT good!!!!
Best Musical for all people
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
I really hope you get better, just remember the key message of the musical; that you are never alone, there's always someone looking out for you, and people worldwide who feel the same. You are never alone.
i relate to both connor and zoe most. but evan too. (now that i’ve read the book i know for sure i relate to evan)
Do you know who Jesus is? I used to have anxiety. I hear people say that anxiety never really leaves, you just manage to handle it better. But I believe Jesus has taken away the anxiety I used to experience. I hope this helps you. Things will get better. Jesus loves you!
H L I say it was God's doing because anxiety didnt leave me until I found God. Could I have done it myself? Maybe, but whether I could or couldn't do it with God, I did do it with Him and that's why I give Him the glory. Thank you for your reply, God bless you!
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!
When ABC News doesn't correctly capitalize their title.
BEN PLATT IS SO SWEET
Sooooo glad he won
I'M CRYING COZ I CAN'T SEE IT LIVE😭😭
Sofia Rivera sameeeeeeeeeeeeee
ben platt you are so talented and you inspired so many people!!! I love you so much!
His last message just made me tear up big time. Omg.
I love him he makes me feel like I’m not alone
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I saw it on Wednesday night for the first time and absolutely loved it!!!
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 :)
I LOVE THIS MAN
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’m so sad that ben isn’t doing the show anymore;(
"Are you ready to hear, 'and the tony goes to Ben Platt'?"
"Well, I mean..."
WELL THAT SURE AGED WELL
why am i crying at an interview
I am so glad they both won.
i really love their songs i wished i could watch the show
I saw the national tour nearly a year and a half ago
I added this to my private youtube library named "to cheer up"
Ben's face when he laughs gives me joy.
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.
I CANT BELIEVE IM GOING TO SEE THIS OMG IM SO HAPPY
Such a great interviewer! Great interview!
I cannot believe it has been over a year since I saw DEH. This was one of few videos that convinced me to invite my cousin as a belated Xmas present to me.
GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICALL-
Ben killed this role
I just saw it this year and was like WHY WASNT I APART OF THE HYPE! 😭
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. :'(
Playing this masterpiece once is already challenging. Doing this everyday is a whole new different level.
Pretty crazy for an emotionally intense musical
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 ;)
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.
Oh, I'm 100% agree with you - I'm from the other country and it's so bad that I would never be able to see this musical (with the original cast)
I love Ben
BEN IS MY HERO!
Awwwwwww aaaaahhh Ben is talking so fast at the beginning aaah
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
lol me and ben are same i dont talk to anyone like that before going on to save energy lol
We have tickets in January... and I have no doubt that I will be sobbing through the entire show...
How was it?
WHEN MIKE APPEARED ON STAGE I WAS LIKE M I K E
Love
He better be in the DEH movie
Duncan Donuts That would be so cool
I NEED TO SEE SINCERELY ME!! (That only part of the show 😂😂) UGH I ONLY SAW SO LITTLE I LOVED IT THOOO
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!
*cries knowing there is no way I can see it live, even without the original cast, because I live in China*
Dear Evan Hansen must be worth the hype! I do hope to see it when the national tour arrives in Los Angeles this coming fall.
Ben!!!!!!!:D
