If Ben Platt stood on a stage and chanted the word 'steak' for half an hour I would probably start crying because everything this man sings is so freaking beautiful.
This song is sung by the ENTIRE cast...so all those "riffs" are actually other people singing. Not the best song to sing as a "solo"...but he is awesome!
The ticks might also be caused by his method acting in Dear Evan Hansen. He's in this play-as the shy and ADORABLE kid who has ticks that you have said. So, it might be because of all his continuous acting he has to do almost everyday, it can become dangerous though, and he may need therapy to regain his "post broadway" self. HOWEVER, he could just be shy preforming this...
I kno this probably isn't the right platform to be saying this but I honestly feel so at home in this nerdy broadway side of the internet none of my friends really kno/understand my obsession w this kinda stuff so knowing there's other ppl out there that like this to is rly nice
Lily Boyd i’m glad you can meet and communicate with other people who love it!! this isn’t the wrong platform, don’t worry :) i relate, it’s hard to find other people who love theatre besides on the internet, so it really is great to have other people to obsess with
right? i wish i had friends in the nerdy broadway side of the internet. sometimes, when i'm in a depressive mood, it's the only thing i can stand to do.
I've actually never seen Spring Awakening or heard the soundtrack but I do know that that is basically where Groffchele got their start and I love them so I love the show. Also I love Ben Platt and DEH. Also his riffs are legitimately blessings.
Where I go, when I go there No more memory anymore Only men on distant ships, the women with them Swimming with them to shore Where I go, when I go there No more whispering anymore Only hymns upon your lips A mystic wisdom, rising with them to shore Touch me just like that And that, oh, yeah, now that's heaven Now that I like, God, that's so nice Now lower down where the figs lie (Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah) Still you must admit with the two anatomies (Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah) It truly is daunting, I mean how everything might (Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah) Measure up? (Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah) Not that Im saying I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to not (Touch me) Would ever not want to Moritz? I have to go (Touch me) Moritz wait! Where I go, when I go there No more shadows anymore Only men with golden fins The rhythm in them, rocking with them to shore Where I go, when I go there No more weeping anymore Only in and out your lips The broken wishes, washing with them to shore Touch me all silent Tell me please, all is forgiven Consume my wine, consume my mind I'll tell you how, how the winds sigh Touch me, just try it Now, there, thats it, oh, God, that's heaven Oh, I'll love you right We'll wonder down where where the sins cry Touch me just like that Now we'll wonder down where the sins cry Love me just for a bit We'll wander down where the winds sigh Where the winds sigh Where the winds sigh Where the winds sigh
HOLY CRAP //i can never remember how gorgeous his voice is. Like I know it's amazing? But I can never remember how Good it is because it's such an experience to listen
I have never come across a human as talented and perfect as Ben Platt. He's just a precious little angel bean that needs to be protected at all costs😭😭😍😍💖💖
If Ben Platt stood on a stage and chanted the word 'steak' for half an hour I would probably start crying because everything this man sings is so freaking beautiful.
he could accidentally spit in my face and I'd thank him for it
he could kill me and i would still love him
Lara Anderson tbh he could stab me and I'd thank him
Plus steak is delicious so it works on every account
uhhh not to be extra but GIRL SAME.
Let's all remember that time one of the engine's on Ben's plane failed and he sang the whole cast recording to calm himself down.
WHAT?! WHERE IS THAT? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!?
I believe in an interview with James Cordan. I'm not 100% sure if it was James or someone else though
WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS
ua-cam.com/video/IYsFbmRIiRo/v-deo.html here's the link to the interview!
Why is that me?
Only ben platt can sing about sex for three minutes and make it sound like the most elegant thing I've ever heard
Only ben platt can sing about sex for three minutes and make me want to make love to him through a computer
Kayla The Curious yo what about Jonathan Groff?
I would be more than head over heels then for Ben
Orgasmic
the original itself is beautiful, this song is the only song about sex that ill listen to. the song is one of the prettiest on the sa soundtrack,,,
if anyone else had riffed so much, i would have hated but its ben platt and this is so so good
I beg to differ.
This song is sung by the ENTIRE cast...so all those "riffs" are actually other people singing. Not the best song to sing as a "solo"...but he is awesome!
Susan Barry-Mayo true
You have obviously not heard Ben Fankhauser.
a+ comment
honestly the riffing in this solo really makes up for the lack of a full ensemble/cast/orchestra. like this is breathtaking
Those "Oh my god"s OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD
help?? i heard a man so beautiful i started to cry????
SAME!!!
GIVE THIS MAN A TONY
benplattypus well he's a shoo in for best leading actor this year for DEH
benplattypus They did 😂
benplattypus reading this comment makes me so happy because it came true
benplattypus it happened :,)
benplattypus T H E Y D I D
His little facial and body twitches and movements are so great.
Charlotte Campbell he looked so awkward when singing the touch me parts when trying to be pleased 😂
It's not easy singing a song that is supposed to be sung by the entire cast.
The ticks might also be caused by his method acting in Dear Evan Hansen. He's in this play-as the shy and ADORABLE kid who has ticks that you have said. So, it might be because of all his continuous acting he has to do almost everyday, it can become dangerous though, and he may need therapy to regain his "post broadway" self. HOWEVER, he could just be shy preforming this...
He’s the only person on planet earth allowed to run this much and not be hated.
The way his voice goes from super buttery to raspy kills meeee
HE PLAYS PIANO TOO???
Nina Curran ikr and he Is *GOOD* I'm shook
He's beyond perfect.
Kayla Cook he's pitch perfect
UnrealPandas Trueee
of CouRSE he does- hes Ben Freaking Platt
it's insane how much i fancy him omg
aliceaimee I need a fanfic
I kno this probably isn't the right platform to be saying this but I honestly feel so at home in this nerdy broadway side of the internet none of my friends really kno/understand my obsession w this kinda stuff so knowing there's other ppl out there that like this to is rly nice
Lily Boyd i’m glad you can meet and communicate with other people who love it!! this isn’t the wrong platform, don’t worry :) i relate, it’s hard to find other people who love theatre besides on the internet, so it really is great to have other people to obsess with
As a tip, if you're interested in that join a choir or a theatre group because you'll probably find a few musical theatre fans there.
right? i wish i had friends in the nerdy broadway side of the internet. sometimes, when i'm in a depressive mood, it's the only thing i can stand to do.
Lily Boyd same all my friends think I'm weird
The theatre community is such a great place, glad you are a part of it!
Is it normal that I literally watch this 2000 times a day
lia 212 me too fam
Me
Yup pretty normal (not according to my doctor though.)
What kind of question is that, of course it is!
lkathryn 212 I hope it’s normal because that’s literally me right now.
His vocal control is insane! That drifting between notes with such ease is incredible.
FUCK ME UP HE IS PERFECT
paige gregory one might say pitch perfect 😂
paige gregory
AAYYYYYYYYY😂
paige gregory I NEED A FANFIC
Someone needs to cast him as Moritz (a concert version at least) I want to see him cover "I Don't Do Sadness" so badly. Someone make it happen!
ik this comment is super old but it happened!! he dueted kathryn gallagher singing this song on tiktok
the vibrato is insane

ryan is trash good news he's into guys
Kayla The Curious yaaaaayyyyyy 😂😂
widowmaker Ben Platt is my sexuality
Ugh same
Him and Ben fankhauser need to sing a song together
I second this. They are my favorite Bens!
Oh my goodness my life would be complete. I would never ask for anything again!
the ultimate riff off
Riffs upon riffs upon riffs upon riffs....
The fact that he can sing and play the piano makes him ten times sexier.
How is he so perfect?

Shaliyah Divinagracia oh lord why puns😂

I've actually never seen Spring Awakening or heard the soundtrack but I do know that that is basically where Groffchele got their start and I love them so I love the show. Also I love Ben Platt and DEH. Also his riffs are legitimately blessings.
Cierra Johnson listen to it it's great😁
my ears have been blessed
HOW DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS? OMFG AHHH
I would sacrifice my first born child, appendix, and my left hand JUST to meet him and hear him sing live!!!!
the only man who can riff THIS much in this sog and pull it off jesus i have chills
My favorite thing is just hearing someone sing a song with a piano
Where I go, when I go there
No more memory anymore
Only men on distant ships, the women with them
Swimming with them to shore
Where I go, when I go there
No more whispering anymore
Only hymns upon your lips
A mystic wisdom, rising with them to shore
Touch me just like that
And that, oh, yeah, now that's heaven
Now that I like, God, that's so nice
Now lower down where the figs lie
(Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Still you must admit with the two anatomies
(Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It truly is daunting, I mean how everything might
(Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Measure up?
(Ohh, my god, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Not that Im saying I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to not
(Touch me)
Would ever not want to
Moritz?
I have to go
(Touch me)
Moritz wait!
Where I go, when I go there
No more shadows anymore
Only men with golden fins
The rhythm in them, rocking with them to shore
Where I go, when I go there
No more weeping anymore
Only in and out your lips
The broken wishes, washing with them to shore
Touch me all silent
Tell me please, all is forgiven
Consume my wine, consume my mind
I'll tell you how, how the winds sigh
Touch me, just try it
Now, there, thats it, oh, God, that's heaven
Oh, I'll love you right
We'll wonder down where where the sins cry
Touch me just like that
Now we'll wonder down where the sins cry
Love me just for a bit
We'll wander down where the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh
jwmrules thank you!
jwmrules nobody is even going to try to sing along to THIS PERFORMANCE I mean talking about lowering self esteem

excuse me what the fuck
my reaction exactly
we should start a kick-starter for the three people who disliked this because they probably just cant afford hearing aids
Elise L. Or glasses, so they can make sure they click the like button, not accidentally clicking the dislike.
such a tragedy.
Elise L. Ironic, because the revival of Spring Awakening was in ASL lmao
Elise L. His quality of singing seemed poor to me honestly. Out of tune and phrasing was poor
Dylan Crawford yOu wAnnA gO??
OH MY FUCKING GOD HIS VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! HE CAN PLAY PIANO TOO!?!?!?!?? HE FUCKING ROCKS AT IT!!! MY GOD, BEN PLATT, YOU TALENTED, AMAZING MAN!!!
he touched my heart so much with his voice i'VE FALLEN IN LOVE
