Dear Evan Hansen Cast Answer The Web's Most Searched Questions | WIRED
"theatre kids are pretty nice until you try to change a musical you love and then they come for you"
I feel personally attacked
Where's the lie? 🤣
The movie was actually pretty good, y’all are just haters 😭
@@themysteriousdude757 I thought the movie was phenomenal. Can't wait to go again.
There was no lie
I CHOKED ON HOW ACCURATE IT WAS HAHAHAHAH
Amandla has a very soothing talking voice, I could listen to it all day.
I was going to say the same thing about Ben
I refuse to believe that not a single autocomplete question asked "How old is Ben Platt?"
Does it matter tho
@@joberrrmak5387 no but he looks like he could either be 24 or 37 lmao
@@joberrrmak5387 he's nearly 30 playing a 16 year old boy of course it matters. and the only reason he got the part in the film is cus of nepotism, his father was the producer.
@@martha.stella well- *and because he sings evan’s part in dear Evan Hansen musical*
@@martha.stella “Nearly 30” he was 25-26 during filming, he just looked older for his age 💀 istg y’all love to exaggerate.
They both seem such nice people, like you'd have a good time just hanging out with them
Ok

Amandla is nice
Their voices are so calming, I feel like watching ASMR. And Ben Platt is so cute and Amandla's so gorgeous!
Amandla actually has an asmr video on fonts beauty's channel
@@skwilliamson2476 wow, that's cool! would love to check that out!
I was actually feeling relaxed lol
Ben Platt is my best friend. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Fr both of them seem like amazing friends
The question "Can I lean on you Ben Platt" was probably people looking for Ben's song Bad Habit just using the lyrics
I know right
Yeah
That’s what I was thinking lmao
@@emilie8151 Nice profile B)
Yeah I started singing that
This is so chill. Amandla and Ben feel like people who’d make you feel really comfortable hanging out with
These are the most chill theater kids I’ve ever seen

i cant tell if you are trying to reference to Be More Chill or not lmao

Amandla: it’s probably cause you have theatre kids as fans, their nice
Ben: until you try to change a musical they love and then they come after you
I can confirm
-a theater kid
Can also confirm- an actor/theatre kid
the way ben says "i remember you" in 3:59 has me melting, he's so wholesome

Their energy together is so great! Really calming and you can tell they really pay attention to each others words!
amandla’s “what ben platt” had no business being that funny
0:19
“Thank you, performing live gives me such a rush”.
😂😂😂
Yes😂😂
THIS COMMENT! YES✌😋
Pleasseeee
😂😂 aye gone head this shouldn’t be this funny !!
It's crazy to me that people don't know who Amandla is
I lovvveee amandla. They are awesome
I cAnT believe she was in the hunger games
@@rocket8_8 and uses they/them
@@rj-hg1kq they use both she and they
@@avaharr8 yea now. 4 months ago her instagram said „they/them“
They both are so pure
13:29 I love how Ben just barrels right past his friends' embarrassment in order to hype them. He's so sweet.
This is one of the only wired videos that really feels like they’re genuine friends
You haven't watched many of these, have you?
I listen to Ben's solo stuff endlessly....Imagine and Rain on repeat forever.

How did someone learn about Ben Platt enough to google him without apparently knowing that he can sing? 😅
I know he's such a white boi
Ben Platt Mrs Drew Barrymore and the entire Dear Evan Hansen cast makes me believe I will overcome my Autism challenges and will win my Academy Award. I am proud of all my heroes have done to inspire their fans and heroes and I wish them all the best

ua-cam.com/video/OKAyEoGi8rE/v-deo.html
they're so calm I could fall sleep to their voices
7:53, why does Ben look like the little bears in the Lorax?? 😂 love it though
This is so true🤭😂
I kept having the feeling that I've seen this girl somewhere. And then she said she was in Hunger Games and I was like "Oh yeah!! That's it!". They grow up so fast.
Amandla uses they/them pronouns.
@@aurorasb.223 she/they
@@avaharr8 I'm pretty sure their pronouns have changed over time, back when the person commented this I think they used they/them
Ben platt has been my favorite artist for quite some time now, I just watched his performance on AGT and I almost cried, he’s so freaking gooooooood
I’m sorry- WHAT?! Do you have a link of something?!?????
I actually love their dynamic, so fun
Amanda has a very nice speaking and singing. Wow gurl !!
ua-cam.com/video/a5q2tS5iTO8/v-deo.html

In New, Ben sings a low bass F# and highest is high E. That's 3 octaves!!!! This man has some LUNGS! (My mom and I just sat at the piano to figure out highest and lowest he sings lol)(he hits the notes beautifully, too♥️💓)
It’s Rue! They’re all grown up now! 🥺
they’re*
They use they/them pronouns
@@nailahjappah8505 Oh! Thank you 💕 I haven’t seen them since Hunger Games days. I’ll edit.

@@RayesReflections 8:32 I don’t know if it’s new but he used “she” here.
i LOVE amandla, they are BEAUTIFUL, so talented and down to earth
How can he forget he sang VIENNA!! Lol only a favorite

This was the comment I was looking for! Like really? THE AUDACITY!!
@@amandaamorandi …this man has 🙈
I just now realized Amandla played Rue in the hunger games… ITS MY FAV MOVIE/BOOK SERIES FOR YEARS AND I JUST REALIZED SHES IN MY FAVORITE MUSICAL TOO YOOOO
How could I forget the Father of the Bride part 3 thing. I was obsessed with those movies when I was little so having a follow up was amazing. 💜✨
I don't know what you are
I love Amandla Stenberg's song in the movie. Its so good!
Hearing Ben Platt say the phrase “little Jewish hats” was not what I knew I needed today, but it was.
I can’t believe that I knew Amandla music before I even knew her as an actress. Honeywater has some really good songs, I dunno why she’d be ashamed of it 🥺🥺
Loved their music
I wish I could have a conversation with them🥺 they seem like really nice people to hang out with
"until you try to change the musical they love and they come for you" I AM SORRY 😭😭😭😭
It's only right for Ben Platt to play Evan
This is so calming 😌😌
Watched it tonight with my best friends! It was amazing!
Both of these people are so softly spoken
10:53 Bb happens to be the high notes at the end of waving through a window, and for forever even has a short belted B natural near the end, bless his soul for doing that 8 shows a week
Ur dumb for liking that song
who said i liked it
These 2 need more recognition ❤
Yesssssss girl Amandla !!!🇿🇦
They are so..... FREAKIN FUNNY🤣🤣
I’ve never seen or heard of these 2 people before now- but they both seem really amazing and I def wanna see them act in something now dear Evan Hansen and I’ll look up what else they’re in
(I guess I watched Amandla in the hunger games? But I’ve read the books so many times that I can’t remember the movies)
how lucky we are to live when Ben Platt is alive 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not lucky at all
Ben platt talking about summer camp color war at 11:29 made my life complete
So I see the word "wholesome" is getting tossed around a lot in this comments section... and I'm gonna go right ahead and toss it around some more.
They are both just so frikken wholesome.

I remember watching hunger games over and over again and now im in this mind blowing realization about the fact that she played rue in the hungergames. That question hit HARD
i love the Dear Evan Hanson movie, theme and and music
people asking who they are is hurting me 😭
I did NOT know she played Rue!! Now I really wanna watch Dear Evan Hansen 😁

Don't its bad

Amandla uses they/them pronouns.
@@aurorasb.223 im pretty sure they use both she/her and they/them so she is fine
FINALLY BEN PLATT IS DOING THIS INTERVIEW
Awwwww when Ben was plugging Amandla's song :3 😂❤
these people sound like they could never hurt you physically and emotionally. please be my comfort pillows (esp. u Benji Applebaum)
OMG!!!! When amandla just mentioned colombiana I screamed with excitement. She was so great in that movie and she was only 9 !!! Love her❤️
Simb
Amandla uses they/them pronouns.
@@aurorasb.223 She uses both she/her and they/them. Neither is incorrect.
She has loving eyes. He has a good ear. There comforting.

I love this so much! 😍
Why is no one talking about when Amandla hit Ben in the face with all the questions....also I just see her as Rue in the Hunger Games.
i literally love them sm
Ben is so precious 🥺 The theater kids joke tho... He knows what we're up to...
this is just so nice to watch and listen to
No it isn't
Really liked this one.
Amandia was the little girl in Columbiana?
Loved that.
I'm glad Amanda asked what Cameo is. I was clueless
Ben is the NICEST, the most HUMBLE AND the most GORGEOUS human being
Absolutely wrong! I’ve met him many times in the past. Not a fan of him or his attitude. One of the most self-centered and rudest people ever.
@@chriscifuentes5208 thats 100% cap lmfao
Even with the beard, Ben’s face will always have a sense of childhood wonder. (If that makes sense….)
She’s so pretty
okay but imagine being in your high school musical with stinkin ben platt
Two very gorgeous human beings inside and out ugh
People talking sh*t about Ben Plat, keep it to yourself and stop being mean!!! He played the role ✨PERFECTLY✨ in that movie. And I’ve been listening to the songs on repeat ever since I watched it.
Fav actor
Rue is all grown up!! that makes me feel old somehow.
I swear I just watched Amanda in hunger games and now all of a sudden she is so much older
They are beyond gorgeous.
theyrw*
Amandla uses they/them pronouns.
@@aurorasb.223 my mistake. I thought they used she or they.
I was born on the exact same day as Amandla. I didn’t know I was a libra-Scorpio that’s cool.
they're both so awkward i love it
i can’t wait to see the movie!! only a month left!!!!!!!
Bestie it comes out on Friday…
@@ardenzw i wish, i live in ireland
Its bad don't watch it
My question is, why ask him what his phone number, it’s such a personal question.
It seems like the rising stars aren't complete without a WIRED Interview.
It's a perfect set-up for this forthcoming effort, which I'm sure will be a success. Best of luck to you both, Mr. Platt & Ms. Stenberg.
