imagine if his mic was on when he was singing “he reads and poops”

[@b.d6642]

Now i just picture being in the audience and just hearing that line out of nowhere

[@dantemaritato]

Eryn(onstage): angel of music! Ben (offstage): he reads, he poops! He reads and poops! And reads and poops

[@PatrickKCompton]

And now I have to get the Phantom saying "he reads and poops, he reads and poops" out of my head. Yup, lol. Fun stuff Ben! :)

[@tomgallowitz]

He’s the male version of Lesli Margherita

[@annmarieknapp]

Saw him sing December 23, 2019 and he was brilliant. His goofy antics just show he has a great sense of humor and is very down-to-earth. His voice was incredible. He was perfection. I loved the singer who played Christine, but the Phantom stole the show!! Ben thank you for such a wonderful performance. My Dad and I came to see you and we lost Mom nearly 5 years ago. She loved Phantom and she and Dad say it twice together. It meant a lot to her and Dad teared up the whole show because he was so moved. I rarely see Dad cry. So thank you for that. You are incredible Sir.

I love Ben so much! I will see this on Broadway one day. ONE DAY!

[@guineapigsarekindafat4837]

Backstage is always looks really fun

[@chanequeowo9312]

“Angel if music he reads and poops” got me like 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@IrisC17]

Ben, you could ask how the cast made it to Broadway. How much auditioning to their Broadway début for the next vlog épisode. I'd like that. Something that always intrigues me how you Broadway people manage to have for instance an family life besides the on/backstage life. It feels like you spend like 60% of the time in theater almost every evening. I'm impressed. It's not like you have regular works. 😯😯😯

[@MissMiffed]

5:42 this is pretty much Christine’s reaction every time she sees the Phantom without his mask.

[@saranotsarah]

i NEED MORE EPISODES NOWWWW

[@lunalee5843]

[@toastandbread9267]
