Lol, my theatre teacher talks about how disciplined these folks are and this really shows it. From how quiet Ben speaks to how he doesn't eat anything "fun" to how he won't sing cuz he has a show to do he shows off his professionalism!
@@lucyh5122 In a later interview he specifically said that he chose not to and he even kinda thinks it was overkill now. He had to lose weight, but dairy and gluten were his choice. Same goes for not singing. He shouldn't, but he was just smart enough to know that
It made me laugh that his neighbors tell him he's loud when he sings in the shower. I would have my ear up against the wall trying to hear him sing!! They should be thanking him!!!!
Ok, his neighbors say his singing in the shower is loud? They are blessed to be hearing such an amazing voice! I wouldn't be complaining about the noise
Its ok, like it is one of the most well known musicals and considered to be one of the best of all time, bur you know it is old so I get it that people dont know about it. Its Gypsy, GREAT SHOW, if you would like to watch it, go to broadwayhd.com and they have the newest London Revival production with Immelda Stauton and it is AMAZING, I highly recommed the rent.
I love watching him then vs now. He's so much more mature after the Politician and his album. He seems so anxious in this and it is truly amazing to see the transformation
the thing that sucks is I never really grew up with musicals and theater im just now getting into it with hamilton, and heathers, and of course dear evan hansen -and a few others- because I always thought musicals were stuffy or had really boring music so I didn't really get alot of what he was saying which really sucks
B-atiful! Ugh same! This is so true! And now of course I haven't been doing theater my whole life and I can't really sing but I want to so badly and its so frustrating😭
It's kind of sad. Almost all of these broadway stars always talk about how they grew up seeing Broadway shows and listening to the soundtracks. As a person who didn't get into musical theatre until I was 13 it's really disheartening, as if i don't have a chance because i didn't have the same childhood experience.
I just want to meet him and give him a big hug. Whenever I see someone really great in a musical I just want to hug the greatness and beauty. I saw Big Fish at a high school the other day and the guy who played Edward Bloom was AMAZING! I didn’t know him and I still have never met him but I just want to give him a huge hug! But still, Ben is always KING!
lily byrne since the show is so vocally demanding, dairy and gluten affect your vocal chords and how you sound when you sing. Eliminating those two groups greatly helps withstand the voice 8 shows a week.
lily byrne because dairy effects ur voice/throat when u sing I know cause I'm my musical theater company a week before a show and until a show is over we can't have ANY dairy😂
Ben has also said that no one working on dear evan hansen made him stop eating gluten and dairy but 1. he said it makes him feel better/ feel like he performs better and 2. he envisioned evan as a skinny teenager and not eating gluten + dairy makes it a lot easier to maintain that physique
Dairy effects your vocal cords, don’t want to get to far into it but it is thick so it builds up in your cords and so it is a thick wall that you have to push your vocal cords harder to get through it, there is also needing to stay active and healthy and cutting out dairy is probably best
Lps Confident As somebody who met him at stagedoor he is rarely allowed to talk at stagedoor, day after Tony's he was allowed (when I went) but most other people said he's not allowed to talk at stagedoor
This is literally the calmest I have ever seen him. Like, *ever*.
Ro Noble he has to save his voice lol
lol
Lol
You speak as if you know him personally and spend a lot of time with him, which you probably don't, so your comment is exaggerated.🙄
"Please come see Dear Evan Hansen!" Oh Ben, if only you knew how hard I was trying...
Mary Catherine Dougherty ME ASF
+Matt Azumachu I live in Germany and I'm sti going to school so I highly doupt I will ever see it, but I want to so bad...
Same
SAME
Same😂😂even now... But I live in Holland soo it wil be pretty impossible😪😉😭😢
ok but who would complain about hearing an angel singing in the shower? Like who has the nerve
His neighbors, apparently
katinstroodle my family 😳
@@corgisrule21 I don't get it. Is he your neighbor or is your family the type to complain? I need answersss
I'm just so in love with this adorable boy
Beth Walker rt
w h o i s n ‘ t ?

I'm falling in love with him just right now! How did I miss this amazing musical till now? 😭😭
Luigi Love - Us people are late to DEH. I only discovered it 2 weeks ago.
I love how hard he blinks
Haha I noticed that too
Maddison Sylvain same
It’s one of the little tics that he’s supposed to do for the show :3
Lol, my theatre teacher talks about how disciplined these folks are and this really shows it. From how quiet Ben speaks to how he doesn't eat anything "fun" to how he won't sing cuz he has a show to do he shows off his professionalism!
Wyatt Brownell I hope to be that professional someday
It's cause he's not allowed. It's a rule.

"You get to be such a.. ham." -Ben Platt 2k16
A. Ham.
A. Burr.
I have the honor to be your obedient servant....
YISS
Part of me feels like that was an intentional Hamilton reference on Ben's part...
The other part of me really hopes it was.
Alexandra Hamilton 😂
That graphic with the star swirling in between every transition is so incredibly headachy
Especially in between each of the "describe these people with one word"! Xx
I was just about to comment this - it was horrible lol!
It made me so sick. Why did it have to spin?
I will gladly relieve one of Ben's neighbors and live next door. I wouldn't complain.
It made me laugh that his neighbors tell him he's loud when he sings in the shower. I would have my ear up against the wall trying to hear him sing!! They should be thanking him!!!!
Exactly right?? It's like getting free tickets everyday
I still can't believe it took me this long to realize Ben and Jonah are brothers...
Abi Alston And Marc Platt, Producer of WICKED is their father. Circle of life.
iiSirLeonard RBLX k how come that never occurred to me?! Come on Bailey you're better than this!
OH MY GOD WHAT HOW DID I NEVER REALISE THIS?!
Tfw
Guess I never really bothered to learn the guy's name
Was the same last name not a clue?! 🤦
Ok, his neighbors say his singing in the shower is loud? They are blessed to be hearing such an amazing voice! I wouldn't be complaining about the noise
"Now I'm hungry thanks for that" *pouts*
Ben Platt as Mama Rose? Why is that not a thing yet, LIKE DO IT NOW.
I'm gonna sound dumb but what show is that from
Its ok, like it is one of the most well known musicals and considered to be one of the best of all time, bur you know it is old so I get it that people dont know about it. Its Gypsy, GREAT SHOW, if you would like to watch it, go to broadwayhd.com and they have the newest London Revival production with Immelda Stauton and it is AMAZING, I highly recommed the rent.
"And I broke one of her foots" 😂😂 he's so pure
2:07 THE CUTEST
y e s
I want to be the next Ben Platt.... He's so inspiring and so versatile.
Michael I. Haber don't we all
There won't be a "next" one. He's an original. 🙄
He just keeps blinking really tightly, it's so cute.
His little stutter at 1:01 is so cute !
SOUL CYCLING I AM SCREAMING HOLY SHIT
AV and EK i know right
No need to scream a profanity...🙄
Anyone else pick up names like "Larry" and "Eliza"?
P.S Ben Platt is so incredible
YEEE
okay lets see if we can do it.
i've learned to slam on the breaks....
before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Cora Fitzgerald before i lead with the worst of me
give them no reason to stare
no slipping up if you slip away
DEH IS THE BEST
I love how he addresses the names of each person who asks the questions :)
I love watching him then vs now. He's so much more mature after the Politician and his album. He seems so anxious in this and it is truly amazing to see the transformation
This dude is so hilarious and he managed to say all of this with a straight face wow.
the thing that sucks is I never really grew up with musicals and theater im just now getting into it with hamilton, and heathers, and of course dear evan hansen -and a few others- because I always thought musicals were stuffy or had really boring music

B-atiful! I wish I started watching musical theatre when I was kid because I am so obsessed to get vocal lessons and actually perform 😭
Ally Lauren I was lucky, I got to see Mary Poppins on Broadway when I was 3, and easily got obsessed with musical theater.
Angelica Hamilton yeah you truly are 👏👏
I WILL PAY MAD MONEY FOR BEN TO SING FEELING GOOD
Ben Platt's highschool self is actually Evan Hansen confirmed
"My favorite musical of all time, 'Sunday in the Park with George.'"
Before, I really really really liked Ben. Now . . . I love him.
I kinda feel like he's sorta in character here. He sits kinda hunched and his hands are under his legs which i think some awkward/anxious people do.
Andi Alberto wait what??? i sit like that all the time???
Ben Platt loving Sara Bareilles??!?!?! YASSSSS
When he said "brother" oml I love him so much
Ben's posture is KILLING MEEE
Why?
HES SO ADORKABLE
BEN I LOVE GAVIN SO MUCH
I just want to meet him and give him a big hug. Whenever I see someone really great in a musical I just want to hug the greatness and beauty. I saw Big Fish at a high school the other day and the guy who played Edward Bloom was AMAZING! I didn’t know him and I still have never met him but I just want to give him a huge hug! But still, Ben is always KING!
You might want to tame that hugging impulse for strangers...🙄
Ben Platt: your voice is unbelievably perfection it's so beautiful!!!
He has three Adam's apples.
thanks
IM LAUGHING
No wonder his vocal range is so damn wide
i CANT STOP LAUGHING
Oh gosh
I don't know if its the way the lighting brings out the color of his eyes, but Ben seems so attractive in this video
this was posted on my birthday and Ben Platt is my hero
AHHHH BEN PLATT IS SO GREAT
He's so adorable ahhh
ok Ben, hear me out. We have the same idols (Gavin and Sara).We should be friends. Just sayin'.
Fred Covers BUT HERE ME OUT AND THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH- sorry...I'll go now...
I miss these videos so much!
LOVE YOU SO MUCH BEN
He is genius
I really want to see this Musical...
I love how when he talks that his eyes scrunch up AAAA
he's so adorable
Cops: What happened?
Me standing in front of the 9 people who disliked the video: They ran into my knife! *THEY RAN INTO MY KNIFE TEN TIMES!*
That transition graphic is all designer ego, no regard for the viewer. To watch this is to ask for a seizure.
Ahhhhh his favorite musical is Sunday in the Park with George!!! IM LIVI N G
Can’t believe he got to play Evan Hansen again in the movie. Never saw it though
His voice....is much deeper than I thought....
i love him so much
I LOVE CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH TOO WE SHOULD BE FRIENDS
Awww love Ben!
i LOVE this dude
God i love him
"I'm very stoked to be here"
Clearly. 😆
Thanks Ben for turning me onto Sara Bareilles!
In more recent interviews the guy speaks so fast. He seemed to calm in this one.
Am I the only that actually enjoyed the edited transitions
Yes...they made the rest of us dizzy...lol
haha the soul cycle my heart is so warmmmm
Anybody else just immediately leave to go get Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
BEN PLATT AS MAMA ROSE IM IN
All I have is the soundtrack, but I want the rest of the story
Yes yes Gavin Creel !!
Sarah b!
JAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHY IS HE SO RELATABLE
Yaaas, Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!!!!!!
A Ben Platt/Cynthia Erivo riff-off would be insane
Continue...
End of May or early June 🌅
This picture-perfect afternoon we shared
@@leilazak8405 Drive the winding country road, grab a scoop at Ala Mode, and then we're there.
ok but i really want to hear him sing Feeling Good now
I SHARE A FAVORITE CEREAL WITH HIM YAY
Just when I was watching the riff offs hahaha.
BEN PLATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pure boy
Dear Evan Hansen is my favorite play ever and he is also my favorite character from pitch perfect! Ugh I love him so much!!
Dear Evan Hansen is a musical, not a play.
"Sunday In The Park With George" is my favorite play, also. I saw it with Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin...... Fabulous!
It's not a play, it's a musical.
playing evan hansen, why wouldn't he be allowed to eat gluten or dairy?
lily byrne Evan is supposed to be a nerdy high school kid, so he needs to stay skinny to come across like one
lily byrne since the show is so vocally demanding, dairy and gluten affect your vocal chords and how you sound when you sing. Eliminating those two groups greatly helps withstand the voice 8 shows a week.

Yessss Cinnamon Toast Crunch
ooooooooooooo he best be evan in the 2019 D.E.H
cinnamon toast crunch for the win!
To the 7 people who disliked this, I'm going to their house to have a talk with them
yes cynthia erivo destroys everyone... we just all wanna watch and cry
CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH WAS MY FAVORITE TO OMG IM NOT CRYING 😂❤️
Calm down 🙄
He’s just the best human beingggg
I got hungry too when Ben started to talk about his favorite cereal. EEEEGH HUNGAHHHH WHYYYYYY
Isn't Hannah his sister(yes,I went on Wikipedia. I am NOT a stalker)
ben & anna doing Sunday in the park would just BLOW MY MIND. In the best way.
Ben and I both love Once; two Bens in a pod
wait wait wait, i know that its 2019 bt im just seeing this now and when asked about ben platt's music idols HE DIDN'T SAY BEYONCE, i'm astonished
Why?
Has anyone noticed that he blends into the chair?
I already love him but any guy that appreciates Sara B and Cinnamon Toast Crunch deserves it.
2:47 his fingers
I'm the first person in 6yrs commenting on this but he crossed his fingers backwards??? How 😂
Is ben still playing Evan?!
OMGGGG i need with all my heart to meet him!!!
Lps Confident As somebody who met him at stagedoor he is rarely allowed to talk at stagedoor, day after Tony's he was allowed (when I went) but most other people said he's not allowed to talk at stagedoor
Omg ben is soAdorable
CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!!!
