All the Evan material tbh. I really want to hear his YWBF and he would kill For Forever and Words Fail and yeah just all of it. You have convinced me that I need this now
I skipped that time and started playing it unfortunately it's the middle of the night and my mom walked past my room and I think she heard and was very confused 😂
If anyone else I’m obsessed with sings this song I will spontaneously combust!!!!! Aaron! Jeremy! Michael! And now Ben!!!!!!! Like....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 petition for every Broadway babe to sing this; get Jenn Colella on it I would soooooo watch that!
Seriously, i wanted to read the comments but couldn't tear my eyes away. I watched it through and rewinded my favorite parts. 🥰🥰🥰😇😇🥴I'd be speechless if I coupd meet him
I shouldn't watch Ben, or really any broadway vocalists, so early in the morning because I'm always unprepared and start freaking out and crying within the first 2 seconds THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BELT I JSUR DIE
They need to realese a version of him singing this either on an off Broadway cast album or if it ends up on Broadway he needs to be in the original cast and on one of those albums. Please it is needed
Let me catch my breath. This is really hard. If I start to look like I’m sweating That’s ‘cause I am. I’m not good with words. But that’s nothing new. Still I have to try to explain what I want to do With you… With you. Run away with me. Let me be your ride out of town. Let me be the place that you hide. We can make our lives on the go. Run away with me. Texas in the summer is cool. We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac Looking back, Sam, you’re ready, Let’s go Anywhere. Get the car packed and throw me the key. Run away with me. Sam, I know it’s fast. I’m in love with you. Sam, it’s crazy but Sam, I’m crazier for you. I have these plans. Sam, I have these plans Of a house that we build on a bay When we run away. Let me be your ride out of town. Let me be the place that you hide. We can make our lives on the go. Run away with me. Alabama heat - sign me up. We’ll be on the road like some country song. Won’t be long. Sam, you’re ready. Let’s go Anywhere. Get the car packed and throw me the key. Run away with me. I’m not trying to make you a wife here, I’m not trying to tie you down. I’m just saying there might be a life here - A new one as soon as we run, Just as soon as we run. Run away Let me be your ride out of town. Let me be the place that you hide. We can make our lives on the go. Run away with me. Mississippi mud - watch me slide. We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac, Looking back. Sam, you’re ready, Sam. Let me be your ride out of town. Run away with me. California dreams, here we come! Romeo is calling for Juliet. Ready, set, Sam, you’re ready. Let’s go Anywhere. Say the word and I’m already there! Run away with me.
i'm 100% in love. this is one of my all time favorite songs and ben's voice is my favorite ever and how have i not seen this yet i'm outraged my heart is pounding
Avadno Saile you do realize Ben Platt was the original actor for Evan and he’s 25. Ben Fankhauser is 29, only 4 years older. Not that much of a difference and regardless of his age, he looks young enough to play Evan believably.
Ben Fankhauser, along with the other Newsies, have ruined my expectations for any boy. Like, if you can't belt out Santa Fe, sing The poOR GUYS HEad is SPINning, sing like angels, or dance like a bunch of newboys, you ain't gonna get me
I looked this musical up on iTunes and it had ONE REVIEW. And on that same page it said that there weren’t enough reviews to present an average. I’m definite going to ask my parents to buy. This deserves more love
My name's Sam and this song freaks me out lol I'm not used to hearing my name in a love song and he just keeps saying Sam and I'm dying in the best way
This is pure perfection because you see that moment in his eyes the first time he says “run away with me” of oh my god I actually said it, ok I’m going with it now. And again right at the end his face changes like he realises he’s said too much.
I just love him so much, you can tell how much he owns this song and his vocals are as impressive as ever… I am going to pretend he is signing this to me even if my name sounds nothing like Sam and I do want him to make a wife out of me
Is it me or is the volume on some of these recent Playbill vids very low? I have to turn up the volume on my devices up really high when watching. Maybe it's just my laptop...
"Hi, I'm Ben Fankhauser. Welcome to heaven"
Pipa Vazquez ACCURATE
"Hi my name's Ben Fankhauser and *I'M A PERFECT ANGEL THAT HAS COMPLETLEY RUINED ARIANA'S EXPECTATIONS FOR MEN WITH MY PERFECT PERFECTION* "
Ariana Castaluccio-Vilani I
I r e l a t e
AHAHHS ME
"I'm not trying to make you a wife here" I love when he says that
Really bc I'd love a proposal from him lol
Yeah, I was like "umm, ok, why not".... :D
Anna-Sophie same
i always forgot how in love i am with ben until i watch him perform again and then i’m like damnnnnnnn
K Corona oh my me too for sure
what a mood
SAME
LITREALLT SAME
anyone else wanna hear him sing waving through a window ?!
Beatrice Zilén yes yes yes yes yes yes please
OMG I WANT THAT SOO BADLY
All the Evan material tbh. I really want to hear his YWBF and he would kill For Forever and Words Fail and yeah just all of it. You have convinced me that I need this now
@@esteraulrich-oltean2162 he sang you will be found! as a mashup with halo with natalie weiss!
2:38 is the same note as poor GUYS head is spinning!!!! i’m screaming he’s still got it!!!
Natalie Galvin wait what?
I skipped that time and started playing it unfortunately it's the middle of the night and my mom walked past my room and I think she heard and was very confused 😂
@@faithsouthwell2936 lol she was graced with bens beautiful vocals lol
It is LOL
The close-ups of his face and his eyes got me wanting to insert the "I saw a man so beautiful I started crying" post like wow look at my mans go
MY SKIN IS CLEAR, MY CROPS ARE THRIVING, MY DEPRESSION IS CURED, THE SUN IS SHINING THANKS TO THIS VIDEO
😅
Ben’s version of this song will always feel like home
His vibrato is the reason I live wtf
And him
2:37 the poor GUYS head is spinning
Sarah Knuckles Omg it is the exact same note!
Sarah Knuckles yes!
If it was hard for him to do the little short note, just imagine what it must have felt like then when he had to belt it out
i love how we universally can recognize that note now.
If my future man doesn’t sing this to me then he can consider himself fired
fr hahahaha 😂😂😂
Let’s be honest ben’s setting our standards for men waY TOO HIGH
especially considering my name is Sam ... 1000%
If anyone else I’m obsessed with sings this song I will spontaneously combust!!!!!
Aaron! Jeremy! Michael! And now Ben!!!!!!! Like....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 petition for every Broadway babe to sing this; get Jenn Colella on it I would soooooo watch that!
6 seconds in, music hasn't even started, and I'm already shook
Seriously, i wanted to read the comments but couldn't tear my eyes away. I watched it through and rewinded my favorite parts. 🥰🥰🥰😇😇🥴I'd be speechless if I coupd meet him
I shouldn't watch Ben, or really any broadway vocalists, so early in the morning because I'm always unprepared and start freaking out and crying within the first 2 seconds THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BELT I JSUR DIE
Glad to know Ben’s still alive. Thanks, Playbill.
They need to realese a version of him singing this either on an off Broadway cast album or if it ends up on Broadway he needs to be in the original cast and on one of those albums. Please it is needed
Morgan Boyd this comment aged well
Dream cams true
Every time he says run away with me it makes me wanna cry more
when he puts his hands over his heart even HE knows that he is an ANGEL
Let me catch my breath.
This is really hard.
If I start to look like I’m sweating
That’s ‘cause I am.
I’m not good with words.
But that’s nothing new.
Still I have to try to explain what I want to do
With you…
With you.
Run away with me.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Texas in the summer is cool.
We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac
Looking back,
Sam, you’re ready,
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
Sam, I know it’s fast.
I’m in love with you.
Sam, it’s crazy but Sam, I’m crazier for you.
I have these plans.
Sam, I have these plans
Of a house that we build on a bay
When we run away.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Alabama heat - sign me up.
We’ll be on the road like some country song.
Won’t be long.
Sam, you’re ready.
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
I’m not trying to make you a wife here,
I’m not trying to tie you down.
I’m just saying there might be a life here -
A new one as soon as we run,
Just as soon as we run.
Run away
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Mississippi mud - watch me slide.
We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac,
Looking back.
Sam, you’re ready, Sam.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Run away with me.
California dreams, here we come!
Romeo is calling for Juliet.
Ready, set,
Sam, you’re ready.
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Say the word and I’m already there!
Run away with me.
Dan Gorman you’re an angel
merci beaucoup
yey
He does this little tounge thing and it kills me. Also in the beginning he is figeting and just yes.
Everytime he says "run away with me" I have to stop myself from saying "okay!"
The clarity of this video... the emotion he puts into everything he sings.... HIM... I think I've died from sheer amazement
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS. MY HEART IS POUNDING.
Anya San Nicolas the pOor GUYs HEAd is spiNning
Whenever I hear Ben, Aaron Tveit, or Jeremy sing this song I may or may not imagine them singing it about me☺
I will run anywhere with you, Ben Fankhauser 😍😍😍😍😍
I think I passed out. BEN AND THIS SONG?!? It’s my fave! He’s my fave! What is oxygen?!
i'm 100% in love. this is one of my all time favorite songs and ben's voice is my favorite ever and how have i not seen this yet i'm outraged my heart is pounding
Ben, you’re wonderful. But, your pianist really makes it happen. I’ve heard many versions, and his accompaniment is stellar!!
I love how he sings the country song line. As a true southerner, I appreciate the lack of jokery compared to other renditions.
Wait
WHy hasn’t he played Dr. Pomatter yET
Michael Adkins HOLY CRAP YOURE SO RIGHT BYE JASON MRAZ WE NEED THIS TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY
Because that'd be my death
Michael Adkins because he's too damn beautiful and perfect
I think he’s a little young. Maybe in 5-10 years.
The funny thing is Jeremy Jordan is now going to play Dr. Pommater
One of my favourite songs and one of my favourite humans... perfection
Wow, amazing job. This acting is honestly so believable, I'm impressed.
The moment I watched Michael Arden sing this a few years ago I knew I wanted Ben to sing it so my heart is melting
2:44 i felt my soul leave my body thanks ben
I've watched this at least twenty times at this point
this is my everything song. I have cried, screamed, silently listened, and sang to this song. This is my song. I have never heard a song like this.
3:01 that growl tho 😍😍
Just discovered this guy TONIGHT!!! My friend wanted to watch “Newsies” so we did & I fell in LOVE 😍
HOLY CRAP. That note...this song... wow. Pure perfection
"Hello, I am Ben Fankhauser. Welcome to heaven."
Jesus Christ I love this man
why isnt he playing evan hansen
Ben would be amazing as Evan! Now I want to hear him sing Waving Through a Window!
Too old. They cast very very very young people to play Evan. On broadway 40 years can play teenagers but not at Evan Hansen.
Avadno Saile you do realize Ben Platt was the original actor for Evan and he’s 25. Ben Fankhauser is 29, only 4 years older. Not that much of a difference and regardless of his age, he looks young enough to play Evan believably.
okay i soooo totally agree a year ago, but you HAAAVE to check out the current evan...😍
@@stella1146 Ben platt wasn't 25 on dear evan hansen, he started doing the show at 19
I had been waiting for this ever since it was announced he was taking on the role ... thank you. my life is complete.
ooooh, well done. Vocal dynamic is absolutely wonderful!
Ben Fankhauser, along with the other Newsies, have ruined my expectations for any boy. Like, if you can't belt out Santa Fe, sing The poOR GUYS HEad is SPINning, sing like angels, or dance like a bunch of newboys, you ain't gonna get me
I have the opposite I live in a very talented musical theater centered community and all of the guys are way out of my league 😭😂
Ha same
👏THANK👏YOU👏
For real, same
his tone is as CLEAR. AS. A. FREAKING. BELL.
and that tight frickin VIBRATO!!!
***dramatically waves self***
listen i am an og aaron tveit fan and michael arden is my KING but ben adds such emotion to this song that i’ve never seen in any other rendition.
I LOVE BEN FANKHAUSER!!!
my heart MELTED
I could listen to bens voice all day 😍
This song gives me butterflies. Its so beautiful. Ben sings it so good!
I was not prepared to hear Ben sweetly singing my name. My heart stopped!
You are wonderfully talented Ben! I'm going after those riffs you did sir! My favorites were at 2:07 and 2:44
I looked this musical up on iTunes and it had ONE REVIEW. And on that same page it said that there weren’t enough reviews to present an average. I’m definite going to ask my parents to buy. This deserves more love
His voice is so beautiful I can’t stop playing this damn song
My name's Sam and this song freaks me out lol I'm not used to hearing my name in a love song and he just keeps saying Sam and I'm dying in the best way
i've loved this song for months and to hear one of my favorite voices sing it is a dream come true! ngl i cried
This is pure perfection because you see that moment in his eyes the first time he says “run away with me” of oh my god I actually said it, ok I’m going with it now. And again right at the end his face changes like he realises he’s said too much.
the way he sings this always makes me say “DO IT SAM JUST FUCKING DO IT I DONT EVEN KNOW THE STORY BUT GOSH U HAVE TO WHEN HE SAYS IT LIKE THIS OMG”
It's illegal for someone to be that adorable. It has to be.
I just love him so much, you can tell how much he owns this song and his vocals are as impressive as ever… I am going to pretend he is signing this to me even if my name sounds nothing like Sam and I do want him to make a wife out of me
Gosh , what a beautiful voice !
I love this so much. Ben is incredible 💚💚
Gives me major "if I didn't believe in you" vibes and I'm in love
such a unique voice with superb technique. perfection
this is still my favorite thing I’ve ever heard
This is my favorite version of this song like aahh i have goosebumos everytime i watch it (which is like 1000 times, so far)
Here I am sitting willing my tablet to not die so I can finish the song... I love this! Beautiful!!
I just got backs from seeing "The mad ones" live and I saw with Jay Armstrong Johnson playing Adam, both sound amazing though.
Please. Put. This. On. Spotify.
The fact Jeremy’s sang this too makes it better but Ben 😍
Amber's Rainbow YEAAAHH that was what I was thinking
Amber's Rainbow someone has to edit them together, it’s peak Javid content!
I do love it. so much emotion explained. you're such an talented.
I crieeeeeee he's so good ugh
Gives me goosebumps every time
man crush for life! i love seeing him again.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SUCH BEAUTY
this is so beautiful
This was amazing! Michael Arden's version is like the gold standard for this song imo and this is tied with that.
why have i watched this so many times i love him
I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR A MEME AND I FOUND SOMETHING EVEN BETTER
What Ben says: Hi, My name's Ben Fankhauser and...
What I hear: Hi, My name's Ben Fankhauser and I'm the purest person in the world
::screaming internally:: ive missed you ben !!
screw my parents, my name's Sam from now on.
Simon M Me right now. Lol
oMg we have the same name!! What a cOinCidAnce
This is a very fine rendition of the song. I thought is was tastefully presented! Bravo!
BEST SONG EVER
Never disappoints😘😍😍😍😍
RUN AWAY WITH ME INSTEAD BEN ❤️
Ok I'll run away with you. Now???? I'm ready now.... Holy crap Ben. Do you know I'm gasping so hard. BOY!!
It's 11:17pm I have school tomorrow Ben gave me a heart attack and that pianist killed me BOTH SO FUCKING AMAAAIZIING I CRIIIIEDD😂💟💟💟💟💟💟
Been waiting for you to do this song for a long time, worth the wait
i am so happy he's back
Well, it just doesn't get any better than that, does it? This is a complete master class in how to sing to the cheap seats.
2:47 was when the goosebumps hit
This will be on repeat until the day I die
Jeremy Jordan sing this song too. I can't tell which one is better because both of them sounded very amazing. They could sing this song together.
If they sang this together we'd all die from the awesomeness of it :)
Hell yes! That's one way I would love to die of awesomeness from their beautiful singing voices.
2024 and it's still Jeremy's version I love ❤
IM DECEASED
i'm dying. i'm deceased. tell my family i love them.
Is it me or is the volume on some of these recent Playbill vids very low? I have to turn up the volume on my devices up really high when watching. Maybe it's just my laptop...
It's not you. I have the same problem.
Not just you it sucks
Mines fine... just saying 🙃
i'm suddenly so blessed that my name is sam
