"Portraying Crutchie in An illegal production of Newsies. Just a bunch of ten year olds running around singing Carrying the Banner."
"In an illegal production of newsies" oh my gosh haha
I just saw him last Saturday in the Fathom Events screening of Newsies that he did with some of his fellow OBC members.
leviOsa My first theater experience was playing Race in a illegal production of Newsies😂
Is it normal to have a crush on a newsie
@@kareyonnadavidson6661 yes
My brother was trying to get my attention while I was watching this and my response was, "But, Ben Fankhauser."
Sami Popcornpup actually me😂😂😂
Sami Popcornpup me 😂
The only reasonable excuse. XD
IF Davey was alive today, I would honestly date him
Me too
Fight for him deal
bestie same
bro same
I like Crutchie more honestly.
He is so gorgeous....and straight....and has a perfect voice....please marry me.
Not a common combination, that. Whoever does marry him will be very lucky. Lol.
Kri S any source? I wanted to check that
I'm pretty sure he is?
@@ashtenwall4657 his Facebook says he likes girls 🤷♂️
I met him at my summer camp, he taught a master class. He truly is the sweetest nicest person on Earth and he has the utmost amount of humility. I can't wait to see him in the rest of his endeavors, because you know he's gonna be a huge Broadway star and win lots of awards. And we the "Fansies" are gonna watch it all happen.
Dorothy Anne Douglas we have to Seize the day and watch what happens
I actually met Ben! He was SO NICE!!!! :)
MusicalFanatic04 YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD OMG
YOU-YOU LUCKY PERSON. so, do ya wanna trade lives?
MusicalFanatic04 lucky......
**laughs in plain out jealous*
To all the people saying “lucky” that’s a lie you can’t be “lucky” he chose to meet him... that’s not luck dumb ass
OF COURSE BEN CAN PLAY THE PIANO HE CAN DO EVERYTHING HE IS PERFECT
He's such a cutie, but the fact that he plays piano makes him even cuter ahaha
Ben Fankhauser; The definition of growing into your looks
Ugh he's so adorable and such a sweetheart! I saw the show this past Friday, and met him afterwards and he's even cuter in person... didn't think it was possible.
Oh my god the illegal production of Newsies made me die holy crap
ugh I had never even heard of Newsies until I saw it with a school group in nyc on broadway and that was literally the happiest i was on that trip it was so amazing. and i love how after the show they all come out to meet you like good luck to the girls waiting 12 hours in line at a justin beiber concert to have seats a mile away i'll go see newsies, have amazing seats, and meet the entire cast after.
Ben Fankhauser is awesome and I like Carrying the Banner from Newsies as well like him. He is to cute. I would date him!
Honey we would all like to date him. Nay, we would all saw off our right arm to date him.
My sister just walks up while I'm watching this and she says "Stop watching Ben Fankhauser for one minute.." I was watching with headphones....She knows me so well
Don’t listen to her, he is amazing
Ha! At 1:03 you can read Tommy's (right lips) "Nah nah nah that's bulls***t" LOL!
Tyler Henson LOL THATS RIGHT
the fact that he's hot, and straight, and perfect, and amazing. he is literally a godsend, but he's like 26 so it'd be illegal😭😭
I wish I mean 15 years is not A big difference right
Am I the only fansie of legal age here?!?! What the heck!
Kayla M Cook lol! Nope, I'm actually quite close to Ben's age - a couple years older. The fact that we're both pianist-singers might help... LOL. Joking aside, he's super awesome and a looker too! A perfect Davey.
Well I'm glad I'm not the only one, even though I'm about seven years younger! Lol.
Hey, I'm only 2 years off.
My son was just cast as Davey. He's very excited. My other son is a pre-professional ballet student so he's helping out with dance prep.
Im playing Davey in my school musical as a female. This video is rly helpful for analyzing a character especially coming from the og actor himself. Wish me luck :)
Ben seems like an awesome guy! He must be so lucky to have been part of the show's success
DAVEY IS MY FAVORITE FIGHT ME
Davey: collective mom of the newsies group
First time I saw the musical, I decided that he was my only crush 💓💓💓💓
I met Ben! He's seriously so down to earth and I just love his enthusiasm. Plus me and him LOVE Beyonce lol =)!
“Above the fold!”
Nowadays we got Illegal Heathers
But the OG.....Illegal Newsies 😂
Before he was a big star Ben preformed in my tiny little community youth theater! i didnt really know him too well back then but now he's our success story lol
"Something that helps relax me and get me into gear is play a little piano"
A LITTLE PIANO???
Literally just imagined Ben sitting in front of a small piano. I don't know what you were getting at with your comment, but that's what it made me think of. XD
Kayla M Cook Lol! I think what LA Comet is referring to is that he clearly plays more than a little- his technique as shown by that brief sample is rock solid and Carrying the Banner isn't exactly easy to play, what with all those octaves and rhythmic stuff. Kudos to him for keeping that up, and how sweet that he volunteered to play the warm-up for all the other newsies.
I kind of thought this comment was about his piano skills, though as a very literal thinker, I thought my image was humourous. I don't play piano, but it does sound quite difficult. He is an amazing pianist and singer -- and actor, of course! -- and you're right, he's a very sweet guy.
omg I didn't realize he was playing Carrying the Banner until I saw this!
lol, thank you for that
EXACTLY MY REACTION
My sister thinks he's extremely good looking...and she doesn't even like newsies all that much...I'm converting her slowly 😈😂
I like how he specifies that it was an illegal production of Newsies. Hahaha.
He plays piano to relax too and awww
Oh my lord!! Ben play's piano?!! This boy really is perfect! 😍
Any fansies here from 2019!
Yes absolutely!
Yes definitely also from 2020

mE but i cant cause im doing something important *cough* watching everything that pops up when you type in ben fankhauser *cough*
Did anyone else notice that they use the Newsies movie music in the beginning of some of these?
I think it's because Andrew started making them before the OBC album was made.
The fact that I won't be able to see this on broadway kills me...
I live in Brazil, I promised my mom I would get good grades and now i'm going to ny ti see it!
does everyone go to Stage Crafters?
SO excited to see the show!!!!!!! =)
I'm seeing newsies at the end of June. I really hope Ben will still be there!

Aw, I wish I knew what I wanted to do at that young of an age! Now I'm too old :'(
Is that the 1992 movie version of seize the day in the background???
Gah, I know what you mean... he's incredible... his riffs when he sings... *thud* :P Hehe!
