      I LOVE Ben Platt and I DO think he's incredibly talented, don't get me wrong... but this key change is not that difficult.

      ​@@lofttm969 I know exactly what you meant and I still disagree. I also performed this song on AGT and I found that particular key change to be extremely easy even without the backing track as it is simply one step above the previous note (A to F# in a D major scale.) Again, not dissing Ben. He's insanely talented, but I'm far more impressed with his vocal control in the riffs near the end than I am with his ability to perform a simple a cappella key change.

But when we accept that, it opens us to consider how we can help ourselves and where we can find the people we need and want to encourage us to be our best. Know that no one is meant to stay stuck in misery, and that includes you. Keep looking until you find where you belong and with whom. Don't give up. You have what it takes to thrive and be happy. Believe that's for you, even when it doesn't look or feel like it.

      People forget Evan was probably 18; he was a senior in high school. I've seen plenty of seniors who look much older than they are.

    I just saw Dear Evan Hansen the movie yesterday with my brother and mom, it touched very close to home because I deal with social anxiety, regular anxiety and sometimes suicidal thoughts.. I often feel like I'm alone and have to hide things, and I wish I could tell people but when I try I start to tear up, but I found it easier to write and then give a note to a parent or guardian. Dear Evan Hansen has made me feel not as much alone, my family just doesn't see that I need help, but I don't blame them because I don't really shoe. Im often very happy and joyful but on the inside I sometimes just feel like disappearing. I often try to help my friends with their mental state, but I don't help mine, lots and lots of people feel like this and people really should know that they aren't alone. This movie makes me able to find something that I can really relate to. Its an awesome movie and I really think this will help some people!

    I will NEVER tire of hearing Ben Platt sing Dear Evan Hanson songs. The tone, the emotion? 💯 unmatched.

    He made it a solo, and yes it might have lost the magic of the original recording, of the ensemble, but it gained a whole new magic and feeling 🥺 I mean, have him sing the phone book and it'll be a hit 😭

    Please tell me no one had to perform after him because ...how could you? That was sheer mic drop perfection. Ben Platt has the most spectacular voice. I wouldn't want to be the one to sing after him... especially since I would be balling in the corner from listening to his beautiful voice.

    I went and saw him on tour for his album Reverie and honestly was one of the most beautiful performances I have ever witnessed. His voice is perfect and he shared stuff about the songs and it was beautiful. I had the chills for at least half of the performance. It was concert I was ridiculously loud at just because I wanted to hear his voice. I love Ben Platt and his music, it has gotten me through some of my worst depression spirals. His song "Dark Times" will always be my go to when I'm not myself some days.
