Lin-Manuel Miranda came up with the concept to mash up Story of Tonight from Hamilton with You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen (which starred Ben Platt). It was part of his "Hamildrops" series of collaborations with other artists to create new takes on songs from Hamilton. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the single went to March For Our Lives, the student-led movement created in 2018 following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Feb 14/2018. Alex Lacamoire, who was the music director and orchestrator for both musicals actually did most of the work mashing up the two songs. You see him on the keyboard and directing the musicians. Justin Paul, one of the composers for Dear Evan Hansen is part of the group sitting with Lin, observing the proceedings.
I love this so much. Lin’s voice was shredded by the end of his year on Hamilton so hearing him after some recovery time is great. Such a great mash up.
This mash up from Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen was released to make $ for March for Our Lives - and the 2 of them performed it at the March. “For the kids”
This is my favorite. Whenever I want to cry I’ll listen to it. 😂 Edit: Goodness this gets me everytime. The story telling in Ben Platt’s music is next level. You should do some reactions
This was recorded in response to the high school shooting in Florida. It was performed live at the tribute concert for the victims & in support of the survivors. If you listen to the message in that context it is simply breathtaking.
this mashup of two kings and their voices are beautiful together and now you need to react to ben platt!!! who has a very popular musical Dear evan hansen
Striking mashup of two meaningful songs from two amazing musicals with two very talented singers/ performers! & yes, top notch instruments & videography!
A few other comments already said this but this is a mashup of the song, "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen (Ben Platt was in the original Broadway cast!) and "The Story of Tonight" from Hamilton! If you're interested, you should also react to some songs from Dear Evan Hansen!
Ben platt has some really beautiful solo music, so I would recommend reacting to that if you would be interested. The album is called Sing To Me Instead
Proceeds from the download of “Found/Tonight” benefited March for Our Lives, which lead the rally on Washington, D.C. on March 24, 2018 to protest the government’s inactivity on gun control. “In the wake of Parkland, I was awestruck by the strength and leadership of the students and their ability to speak truth to power,” Miranda said in a statement. “In the midst of their grief, they mobilized the youth of our nation and created a movement. This is their moment. Not just for themselves, but for all of us. This song is my way of helping to raise funds and awareness for their efforts, and to say Thank You, and that we are with you so let’s keep fighting, together.”
This song is a medley of You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen (which Ben Platt starred in) and Story of Tonight from Hamilton. They wrote it for the Women's March
3:26 no pressure on the mixing engineer with those 15 other guys... including all three composers, the director of both shows and the Musical director of both shows..
This is a mash up between Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen

Now you have to do Dear Even Hansen
I love this so much. Lin’s voice was shredded by the end of his year on Hamilton so hearing him after some recovery time is great. Such a great mash up.
...and Lac for added genius. 😊
This is a mashup of Story of Tonight from Hamilton and You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen.
ben platt's "waving through the window", "grow as we go" and "in case you don't live forever" are exceptional! you really gotta react to them
Waving though a window isn't really Ben Platt's but dear evan hansen, but still yeah he should react to both of those lol
@@mura_saki yep i know it's from the musical but it's sung by him and i love it that's why :)
Pentatonix also did a great cover of “Waving Through a Window”.

I seriously sob every time I listen to this song. When they sing “when you’re broken on the ground” - I just … weep.
"Lin-Manuel has met so many celebrities" he is the celebrity I want to meet 🚶🏻♀️

It’s so cool how they both start out by singing the other’s song and then get switched back to the song with which they are more familiar.

I am glad that you reacted to this song, I really like it.

I love this song, great to see your reaction and thoughts :)
This came out after the mass shootings at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. They performed it live and it was incredible!
Third like on this video. Whoop whoop! I’ve never been this early on a UA-cam video.
This was astounding. The whole series is really good as well. Loved it.
