- We welcome three of the stars of “Dear Evan Hansen”: Ben Platt, Jennifer Laura Thompson and Rachel Bay Jones. They discuss the process of creating this original new Broadway musical and the powerful sentiments that infuse it and have led to its success. Co-hosted by producer Susan Haskins and guest Jesse Green.
Taped: 01-27-2017
Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.

who else is marathoning ben platt interviews
dogsdogsdogs17 this
You'd be surprised by how many times I always end up doing this tbh
And performances
Meeeeeeee
Meeeee!
I have to say, as a single mother, with a high functioning autistic son with anxiety and depression, So Big So Small was so overwhelming. It felt like they wrote my exact life with my son, who is now 17. It's an odd kind of thing, too, because I personally have crippling anxiety and depression, and a lot of self esteem issues, and I relate so strongly to Evan and his mom, equally. I feel like those characters are me, and I am them. It's written so amazingly well that so many people really do have that sense of identity with it. It's beautiful.
Ben Platt is too precious for this world
Catie Lee I’m so happy I get to live in the same universe at the same century with him 😭❤️
They need to do an interview with all 8 cast members! Will, Mike, and Kristolyn are barely ever in interviews!
don't forget laura as well
and micheal park
you forgot Connors father
nicole m im pretty sure will does the most interviews
Niether are Laura
i wanna see will get interviewed, anyone have some links?
I seriously thought he studied people with extreme social anxiety..... He developed those gestures and the way he talks all from nothing? How is that even possible.... The ticks are so specific, detailed, and natural jeeezz
Cocoaron K well he does have his own issues with anxiety (has spoken about them, does see a therapist, does need to take medication to fly). He also has stated that some of his physical activity for Evan came from thinking about flying.
Cocoaron K I have social anxiety and while it's not as extreme as Evan's, this musical describes my emotions and that's why I love it so much
It makes it more authentic. Instead of him giving Evan someone else’s ticks he has his own. It makes it more real and authentic. It’s not Ben playing Evan being someone else it’s just Ben bring him to life and I love that
I didn't like the hosts. That woman spoiled that the secret of their relationship got out and they both acted like they knew more about it than the cast. The cast was great as always though!💖
When was that?
There's not a lot of people in these comments but I just wanted to say I LOVE BEN PLATT VERY DEARLY
Hi! :D
Suzanne Grassi OUR DEAR CINNAMON PLATT

bellica bean platt ben plant
Cocoaron K b e a n p l a n t
Is it me or do these hosts just get on my nerves? The actors look pretty uncomfortable ;-;
Zero dislikes. I have faith in humanity once again.
Because things can change in an instant: At the time I'm typing this, there are still 0 dislikes.
Justa Guy still 0!
any video with ben platt has zero dislikes
Now there's one :"(
You jinxed it.
Ben Platt's hand movements are amazing xD
Me: Hmm... What should I watch on RUclips toda- OH MY GOD... *OH MY GOOOD!* IT’S BEN PLAT! THIS! I’M WATCHING THIS!
I. Love. Them. All.
There wasn't enough comments
"What doesn't work on your voice?" 😭🤧❤ ...couldn't have said it better myself.
I was shooked for 3 days teary eyes after watching a bootleg musical. I can't imagine them doing every night
This interview is fantastic, and the way Ben talked about whether or not he developed his character with the autism spectrum in mind warms my little autistic heart! Him taking care to make sure that everyone can see a piece of themselves in Evan is so amazing.
What I didn't like, however, is the host immediately spoiling it by going "we're ALL on the spectrum", because no, not everyone is. The spectrum part of it is to make it clear that everyone with the diagnosis is different, not for neurotypicals to go "everyone's a little bit autistic". You either are or you're not, and I wish the hosts would have read up on the diagnosis and the proper way of discussing it before throwing that question out to Ben. But I really applaud Ben for handling it well and being respectful.
for how much she acted like she knew more about the musical than the actors- the interviewer should've at least known the song's not called "wave through the window" like c'mon i-
I LOVE BEN PLATT!!! He is so good! I wish I could have seen Dear Evan Hansen while Ben was still in it! Now it’s too late and if I ever do get to see it, I won’t get BEN! I love him so much and he is so talented and beautiful and such a good person. I would love to meet him! 😄😃😀😁☺️😊🙂😅😛😍
That guy was a very good interviewer.
Today I was casually driving in my car belting You Will Be Found and spontaneously bursted into tears. So yeah. That's the impact of Dear Evan Hansen and it's profound.
23:53 pause it. i’m crying.
Broadway musical theater gets blessed with a perfect marriage of talent, character and performance once or at most twice in any given generation. Its incredibly rare. Ben Platt and Evan Hansen is one of those marriages. Its up there with Zero Mostel as Tevye, or Merman as Mama Rose, or Christine Ebersole as Little Edie, or Yul Brynner as the King. The original creation of the character leaves such an indelible mark on the imagination, it becomes very hard to separate them. It makes life complicated for future actors trying to re-envision the role and tailor it to their skillset. But its virtually impossible for the actor to get that lucky again. These men and women went on to do great work in other vehicles, and they extended their careers and tested their creative juices after they 'divorced' from these roles, but never again were they able to find such a perfect match again. Its rare enough to get one role like this, but to expect another is pushing the boundaries of fate too far.
There needs to be more comments...YAY BEN!
The interview lady with glasses looks like Edna Mode
I can't believe I took this long to binge Dear Evan Hansen interviews. I love this show and I love Ben Platt ❤
Madison Mejia ikr it makes me sad i’m soooo late to seeing dear evan hansen and ben platt as him :,(
10:28 is so Intense LOL
Bring in Laura dreyfuss 💯🆘❤️
the reason i'm so obsessed with this musical is that Evan is so relatable to me, so job well done Ben!
17:29
ben: *gay panic*
I’m binging Ben. He’s just so amazing. No wonder he has so many specifics to maintain his performance, it’s amazing.
i know this is weird but i love bens shoes
27 minutes of ben platt? Yes please.
AG Fruitpunch hah i love your pfp i found that on pinterest and saved it
Me: i soo want to watch this and it's coming to london!
Me also: it was suicide and inuendos and your 12 it will be too awkward
Me: true....but i like the musical....
hmmm.....
Aquamarine I don't see why it would be awkward tho,,
idk but if i had to go with my parents and there was sincerely me it would be very uncomfortable
Thats the same problem I have, I want to go see it when it comes but the awkwardness of seeing it with parents...
@@shhdhdhd-t1t What about Dead Girl Walking from Heathers. Also, as someone who did Sincerely Me for Karoake in front of my parents, it's okay as long as you're at least 16.
this is so amazing
This interview makes me fall in love with theatre!
omg words fail Yes 18:35
I love Jennifer Laura Thompson, Ben Platt, and Rachel Bay Jones.
Great video~! Subscribed.
hard to understand why Ben is not doing 'west side story' for spielberg. when Big Ben sang 'somewhere' at the Grammy's, I sobbed.
The three dislikes are 3 people who were mad at the ending lmao
