I feel like he does his scream-singing thing at bad times? Like he starts yelling in parts where it doesn’t really make sense to yell, if that makes sense. It feels awkward sometimes. A very, very stunning performance though!
I was wondering the same. I think it may be that his real emotions are overtaking his characters (being his last night), and it is a way to reset a little bit. Who knows.
@@jenniferjohnson5177i think it was because his character is supposed to be having anxiety and have panic attacks sometimes. And idk if it's just me but whenever i have those two, I tend to can't control the volume of my voice, hence people thought I'm just being a brat and is just having a total moody day instead. Also, my other thought is that maybe because it's a musical and sometimes actors tend to overdo such things at times.. Either for the laugh or just to get a reaction from people. This is just my thoughts tho. I could be wrong so pls don't come at me :3
@@Jae_Lily Your point about panic/anxiety is a good one - but the issue is actually something that I have learned from performing music and musical theater myself - the syllables (iambic and trochaic meter) that he chooses are just weird to the ear. This video is silly, but it can help to understand what I am talking about: ua-cam.com/video/yJRR0fM71uI/v-deo.html. It is important to say though that I think Ben is an absolutely incredible performer and vocalist - he is extraordinarily talented. There's just a few odd choices. "NO CORNY JOKES" is one that doesn't align
I think it had a lot to do with it being his last performance as Evan as well. I saw him perform as Evan twice. It was brilliant and beautiful both times and my second time was much closer to his final performance and the emotions were even more and even stronger than the first time I had seen it several months before. I remember thinking - I can't believe that he can pour even more into this while at the same time I realized it had to be so much more emotional knowing he was getting closer to saying goodbye to DEH.... so I can only imagine all that he was feeling during this final performance of this song. Thank you,, Ben Platt. Thank you for giving this to us.
the moment when all the Murphies left him torn me apart :
Audio: I never meant to make it such a mess
Performance: I never meant to make it such a mEsS
I’m so glad this is back online
Me too
Powerful.
I was looking for this all over. Thank you so much!!
2:48 you see everything you WISH YOU HAD!!
and it's right there, right there, riiiiight theeeeree
In front of you : (
And you want to believe it's true :(
@@galihhad So you make it true. 😭😭
@@matth3w2002 and you think maybe everybody wants it
Ben Platt will always be Evan Hansen, but the sad truth is that they needed to cast someone else for the movie. Either that or just do a ProShot.
Honestly. Ill never let the movie ruin this magical show.
He literally died after this performance....#RIPBenPlatt
word has it he did not slam on the break and died. #RIPBenPlatt #IAmMormon
@@IAmMormonnn No Way.

Final Dear Evan Hansen...

He does that because he’s portraying a mental breakdown. You can’t control yourself when going through something like that

Silently judging who ever had their foot up, blocking the view. (Also damn that applause at the end is well deserved)
