I LOVE how this video still moves people 3 years later!! I was so pregnant( 9 months) and I honestly just wanted to get through my verse so everyone can experience the amazing talent that is Ben!!! His voice is beyond perfect and I just needed a memory of that! He's a true R and B singer!!! He riffs and feels music like no other! I miss him! Thanks All!!!
same thing as that post about guys only named Ron who are sidekicks to intelligent girls who have a pet rat; the requirements are specific and there are a few special people out there who meet the requirements. so far i've got 1. be named ben 2. be on broadway 3. sing like an angel
IM PHYSICALLY NOT OKY AFTER THIS. IM CRYING AND SHAKING AND LIKE MY WORLD HAS FALLEN INTO PLACE. BLESS YOU FOR THIS AND BLESS GOD FOR BENS TALENT AND BLESS LIKE THE WORLD FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.
I could hear them from the beginning. Like it's quieter than LaVon and Ben but it's there in the background. LaVon and Ben were singing backstage at the same time Kara and Jeremy were singing onstage.
@@TonyStark-zz6rri know im 3 years late but it was def not jeremy!! 9 year jeremy fan here and i knew immediately that wasnt his voice. it was Mike faist's!!! He was jeremy's understudy!!! I was actually geeking out that theres another video where you can hear him sing as jack again!!!
I think my favorite part about this video is how this was during an actual performance night and how ben excused himself from the room when he realized he had to be out there ASAP. (wish you could stay in the green room @ my school and sing along with whatever song was going onstage; its too close to the stage)
Omg. As a voice and music theater educator, this video absolutely made me bawl. I loved every second of the over the top riffs. There's no way possible that I could sit still hearing you two...I'd be on the ceiling screaming YES!!!!! This is simply the way it's done. And I am tough on my students, demanding perfection and their best, always. You both have THE gift. I mean it. Never stop sharing it with us. We'll all be better for it. 🤗
Ok, but when Ben goes "I gotta go on stage" and runs out like boi, why can't we all be that prepared
I remember one time I missed my cue because I was singing a gay Seventeen cover with my friend and thank god I was just background in that scene.
@@carsonpolipenguin1142 same I missed my cue for so long the band just started playing the theme of the musical waiting for me to come on lol
Imagine Davey just not showing up to the strike cause he’s busy singing backstage with Medda.
ME AND LAVON HAVE THE SAME REACTION WHENEVER BEN FANKHAUSER SINGS
same
same😂😂
Oh my gosh same
K Corona SAME
There hasn't been a comment that I've related to more
HOLY RIFFS BENJAMIN CHARLES FANKHAUSER
NeverlandAddict is that his full name lol
Yes "Holy Riffs Benjamin Charles Fankhauser" is his full name. Lol.
But in all seriousness, his middle name really is Charles.
Bejamin Charles fankhauser is his full name well you learn something every day
I LOVE how this video still moves people 3 years later!! I was so pregnant( 9 months) and I honestly just wanted to get through my verse so everyone can experience the amazing talent that is Ben!!!

Lavon Fisher-Wilson it's just perfect
I AGREE BEN IS AMAZING BUT QUEEN YOUR RIFFS IN THIS GAVE ME CHILLS TOO :,)
Olivia Simms I was just hearing this song on Spotify when I saw your comment 😂😂😂
fangirl 300 oml 😂😂
This video was so cool, great job!
LaVon is LITTERALLY me watching Ben
Abigail Philpott yup, pretty much sums up my life.
same
If this song was in the movie, these two would sing the R&B version that would play over the end credits
AlwaysGonnaSing ACCURATE
YEEES
Okay when I direct the movie adaption of the musical in 15 years, this statement is noted 😂
Agreed love this video amazing
@@miyannapittman5580 This is a promise, Miyanna. We trust in you
i love his little panic-'ive got to get on stage'
Juliette Doyle he even exits with sass just throws out a couple riffs LIKE ITS NOTHING and then igottagobye
Always knew I'd get out riffed by Ben! Enjoyed every minute of it!!! Miss him!!
what is it with Broadway guys named Ben and riffing
same thing as that post about guys only named Ron who are sidekicks to intelligent girls who have a pet rat; the requirements are specific and there are a few special people out there who meet the requirements. so far i've got
1. be named ben
2. be on broadway
3. sing like an angel
A Beyoncé obsession😌
I ask myself that all the time
Ben platt😂😂
How does Ben sound like he's auto tuned all the time when he's singing live. Like he's just that perfect.
No auto tune sounds as good as Ben and I’d put good money on that
This sounds like it would be the pop version of the song that plays during the end credits of 90s Disney movies.
"I'm gonna cry" SAME LAVON EXACTLY THE SAME ben fankhauser has the voice of an angel omg
Damn....Those runs.
In which Lavon is me, I am Lavon, we are one
IM PHYSICALLY NOT OKY AFTER THIS. IM CRYING AND SHAKING AND LIKE MY WORLD HAS FALLEN INTO PLACE. BLESS YOU FOR THIS AND BLESS GOD FOR BENS TALENT AND BLESS LIKE THE WORLD FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.
It isn't even fair how amazing his voice is and how easily he can do those riffs.
Lavon slapping her hand on the table is such a mood 😭😂
Lavon at @1:21 "SAAANG" lol Same!! Ugh that boy is just too good.
This video still gives me chills 9 years later. They are both so talented and newsies is my favorite musical.
The riff King has entered the building
I love that LaVon still sings even though Ben ditches her at the end!
And in that moment I swear we were all Lavon!
Same, LaVon, same.
no i literally did the exact same thing as you, banging the table and all
ME TOO
I GOT TO GET ON STAGE! Oh Ben great job
i screamed "RIFF" when i saw the title
In the middle of the song... "I got to go on stage" Oh my god Ben😂😂
Lavon reacting the way she is, like smacking the table, is the biggest and funniest mood I have ever seen
Who. Could. Possibly. Dislike. This?.?.?
they didnt have anything to believe in
jordan pennell lol
The Delaney brothers
Oh amazing
1:17 same
LaVons reactions to Ben were the best part
Benonce
the true queen
This hurt.....
*cause of how hard I laughed*
so we’re not gonna talk about how good lavon was ?? okay i see how it is .
Everyone’s talking about Ben, BUT LAVON’S RANGE AND VOICE IS UNMATCHED! Her head voice and her mix is literally the definition of perfect!!!!!!!
are we not gonna talk about her ending note!
I want Ben Fankhauser in my life
I love that you can hear them actually singing it on stage.
What you can? When?
I could hear them from the beginning. Like it's quieter than LaVon and Ben but it's there in the background. LaVon and Ben were singing backstage at the same time Kara and Jeremy were singing onstage.
@@TonyStark-zz6rr they have a speaker in all the dressing rooms so the actors know what’s happening on stage so they won’t miss their cues
@@TonyStark-zz6rri know im 3 years late but it was def not jeremy!! 9 year jeremy fan here and i knew immediately that wasnt his voice. it was Mike faist's!!! He was jeremy's understudy!!! I was actually geeking out that theres another video where you can hear him sing as jack again!!!
@@Rapunzel_angel23 omg I relistened cause I thought "There's no way". But I think you're right! It does sound like Mike!
1:23 oh my god Ben
TBH I'm Lavon through this whole thing
anyone else listening to Ben's riffing and be like: PREACH IT SISTAH PREACH IT!!!
Meghan Robertshaw omg love your profile picture were did u find that pic
Commytole Toloo either on Pinterest or I just typed in "Newsies Fan Art" on Google images 😅
Meghan Robertshaw oh kl thx
Commytole Toloo you're very welcome!😅
RIFF KING!! I love lavons reactions to Ben!
LaVon slamming the table out of shockand proudness is all I needed to havea good day today
I think my favorite part about this video is how this was during an actual performance night and how ben excused himself from the room when he realized he had to be out there ASAP. (wish you could stay in the green room @ my school and sing along with whatever song was going onstage; its too close to the stage)
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SING THAT PERFECTLY BEN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ME THAT MANY FEELS
2:30 goodbye world and all who inhabit it cause I'm dead
Katie Girot me too
I cried
‘Yiand if I’m gone tomoroooww’
0:53 HOLY RIFFS BATMAN!!!!
1:42 I love how you can hear the smile in his voice when he sings "Now that I know you believed in me"
Sing it LaVon! Riff it Ben!
its been 5 years and this is still the best thing thats ever happened to musical theater
I just love the fact that LaVon is just jamming out by herself at the end😂
Same LaVon, same girl
Ben is perfect as Davey! But I would sell my soul to see him to do a run of Jack, just once!
Share the video with us, lady (can't sell my soul to tip in, sorry)
i keep rewinding to 1:17! God Ben is just incredible!
My reaction was exactly like Lavon's
I watch this a total of 50 times a day! I love you both so much!! wow! ❤️
lavon is me listening to ben honestly
The riffs have me in tears they are so amazing holy crap
I didn't like this song, and then I heard this. This. This made me cry happy tears. For like 10 minutes...
no shame
Same, lady, same
LAVON IS THE FANDOM 😂
rip me im dead and benjamin charles fankhauser killed me
Madison P. me after hearing him sing: 🎶EVERYTHING THAT KILLS ME MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE🎶
When you sing over your other friends in the cast
"Hope you don't mind we just stole ur song"
i wanna see Ben play Jack someday but i think he is the best Davey❤❤
her reactions to his riffs are ME
It is the effortlessness of those runs - just gorgeous
The amount of serotonin this video gives me is immeasurable
goddamn angelic, lovley, mayor of Rifftown Ben Fankhauser.
also La Von is legitimately me internally every time I see anything to do with this man.
The raw talent these two have omg
I'm shook, play this at my funeral... thank you so much
Name a better Riff master.. than Ben I'll wait... Ben should have a riff of with Ben Platt that would be glorious
More like a riff on - both are riff kings in their very own ways
Her flipping out while he sings is a mood
It's really a shame Davey doesn't sing more, Ben is so musically talented it's a shame he doesn't get the opportunity to shine onstage
Ahw no he doesn’t sing anymore? Why?😮
every once and a while i just have to come back to this video
Lavon, you are amazing! Keep sharing your gift with the world, girl!! Great job to you too, Ben.
*please tell me I’m not the only one still listening to this in 2021*
I've just found it out and I'm so gonna get adicted to it the next few months
how many times can I press the like button??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't know there could be so many riffs in one song but I'm loving it
His voice is gorgeous. So is hers. They are the ultimate pair
how can so much talent be packed into one video
I'm here in 2019 because this is my favorite show I never got to see. YOU BOTH HAVE SUCH BEAUTIFUL VOICES!!!
YES EXACT SAME I DISCOVERED THIS IN 2018 WAY AFTER IT ENDED BEN IS MY LOVE
All I want to know is how the person filming this didn't either: Crack up laughing/cried/ or sang with them.
Tori Eriavez that’s because it was sitting on a chair I think. Lol
@@lavonfisherwilson How did the chair not cry then?
i need this professionally recorded
Omg. As a voice and music theater educator, this video absolutely made me bawl. I loved every second of the over the top riffs.

This is one of my favorite Newsies bts videos of all time!! Makes me smile every single time I watch it!!!
