Ben Fankhauser - "Out There in Santa Fe" (Newsies/Hunchback of Notre Dame)

[@aiyagilliam9930]

We stan a legendary Benoncé.

[@Amy-yo7db]

yesss

[@goodjobeli]

His voice is like listening to melted chocolate

[@rebeccaschwind3916]

That makes so much sense

[@anacorn2108]

How does that make perfect sense?

[@newsies_obsessed8486]

I don't understand what this comment means, but it's also the most accurate thing I've ever read.

[@rebeccaarias.]

honestly yea

[@aimee3048]

you understand me

[@mercuryh3463]

Of all the songs they could've paired... and then they get Ben to sing it? Revolutionary.

[@nickia7578]

He did the arrangement and there's the first time he sang it on here I think he sang it at 'Ben's Fanked up Broadway show'

[@Raven-fp5ic]

i will die on the hill that he should have gotten his own solo song in newsies

[@mymotherswouldbethrilled]

He can’t have an I want song because his I want song would just be “I want Jack Kelly to kiss me” but I wish they would jest let him frickin sing about it

[@bradenheckman1103]

it’s crazy how one song is about a guy trying to get out of his normal life in a town when the other one is about a guy who just wants to be normal and live in his town and these song both blend together so well

[@isabelsunderland693]

His vibrato is so similar to Ben Platt but it’s also really unique

[@mewingmanda]

Isabel Sunderland that is exactly my thoughts! His vibrato is similar, yet different.

[@sarahwiessel5967]

and they're both named ben

[@adrimulet5965]

2 legendary songs 1 legend of a man

[@aubrie9518]

That is how you turn a man into a legend!

[@finleyforevermore]

"Old and bent, I won't care, save my place, I'll be there" is SO GOOD!!!

[@entertainmentstarz1]

WOW! I didn't expect to that to happen. I think Broadway people know how to do mash up songs better than any regular artists do. Ben Fankhauser, you're one heck of amazing talented Broadway person.

[@sansiantan8390]

entertainmentstarz1 oh my god I just realized that he arranged this I’m dying I love him so much

[@Hannah-uz7nj]

Ben Fankhauser is an actual angel that none of us deserve and no one can change my mind

[@ddcsddcs]

LOVELY! I’m still waiting for Ben Fankhauser to cover Waving Through a Window 😭

[@vlgpdi]

PLEASE

[@the_world_will_know]

5 YEARS LATER AND WE’RE STILL WAITING 😭

[@-scotty-6321]

Am I gonna cry? MaYbE

[@morganboyd3328]

His voice. Just wow. Always a treat to hear Ben sing

[@meredithjulia162]

this makes up for the fact that i never got to see him in newsies. and also it makes me happy bc i love this man and these musicals.

[@jen-cx3ev]

Meredith Julia you can see him in newsies in the American Netflix or you could just google newsies streaming, there’s something bound to come up

[@elizabeth7951]

[@cloudtail1327]

Disney plus has it

[@brennaoconnell3998]

It’s not like I just SCREAMED

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Why not? The poor guy's head is spinning?

[@Brennataco]

Why do so many people named Brenna enjoy musical theatre?

[@emilyhuff5888]

Wow, out of all the years I could have been born in, I'm so lucky to be alive at the same time as Ben Fankhauser

[@charyse1361]

The way he sang “save my place, I’ll be there” 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sydneydecoite3795]

2:01 that ending gives me literal chills! He's so amazing!

[@Jack-uj3co]

My spine:... Ben: 2:01 My Spine: CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH

[@meili2740]

This… is the most valid thing I’ve ever read…

[@ines2fenoyl756]

This is the only comment to ever exist

[@julianw7737]

my boyfriend looks and sounds SO good here

[@goodjobeli]

ha mood

[@stephaniebahner7579]

Julian W wait he’s cheating on me?

[@LaurenPruittMusic]

@@stephaniebahner7579 LMAO ME

[@hayx_r]

HES MY HUSBAND WHAT YALL TALKING ABOUT!!!

[@stalematesibling]

@@stephaniebahner7579 Your version of the cell block tango: "And on the way he met Lauren, Talia, Eros and Julian...one of those Mormons, you know..."

[@scarletsoothill7193]

At 1.03 onwards he spots the camera and smiles so much at the person behind it how sweet is that awww this is amazing!!

[@rubybutt7343]

GET THIS BOY BACK ON BROADWAY NOW PLEASE

[@rowansmith422]

I would love him singing just the actual song from Newsies... Wow that'd be incredible

[@lykoi2711]

Missed opportunity, disney, by not giving Davey a solo song. We were robbed.

[@personn1]

They say folks is dying to get here Me, I’m dying to get away To a little town out west that’s spanking new And while I had never been there I can see it clear as day If you want I’ll bet that you could see it, too And out there living in the sun Give me one day out there All I ask is one To hold forever Out there, where they all live unaware What I’d give What I’d dare Just to live one day out there Where does it say you gotta live and die here Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break If I were in their skin I’d treasure every instant Out there Swapping tales around the fire Give me one day out there Except for Sundays, When you lie around all day Soon your friends are more like family And they’s begging you to stay Won’t resent Won’t despair Old and bent I don’t care Save my place I’ll be there I’ll spend one day out there

[@strwbrrymentos2225]

Every time he connects Sandra Fe and Out There with the piano I’m like oh yeah that does go there hehe genius!

[@Rosieann30528]

I still can't believe I actually saw him sing this in person back at his 54 below show, and I'm still as amazed by this arrangement as I was when I first saw it.

[@paigehall7690]

This was already my favorite mashup with my favorite singer and now I get a NEWER version??? What a wonderful day. And he really seems to be enjoying himself, he was smiling while singing practically the entire time

[@samanthawinstead4999]

Paige Hall are you talking about the Disney medley with Jeremy Jordan?

[@paigehall7690]

No (though that is wonderful as well) I was referring to Ben Fankhauser performing this mashup back in February! :) Here's the link if you want to view it kzbin.info/www/bejne/epiwYYeMqcl4h6c

[@shortysutter]

I literally can’t form coherent thoughts.

[@Nofiih]

He's really good! He's the first male Broadway singer I think comes close to Jeremy Jordan and Matt Doyle vocal pipes!

[@sarahubbard7653]

I agree very, very, very, Very, VERY wholeheartedly

[@abbya2393]

Alex UMMMMM HE IS BETTER THAN JEREMY not hate though I think Jeremy’s great but Ben though

[@wickedly4]

I'd argue better/healthier range than Matt Doyle, and with better vocal control than Jeremy Jordan. (No hate I love them both) Nobody can riff like Ben.

[@mewingmanda]

wickedly4 seriously, all bens are amazing at riffs and runs.

[@missmusic6926]

Both Jeremy and Ben are amazing, and no one is as good as them, not even Matt Doyle!❤️

[@IamtheLunchlady]

Randomly clicked on this and wow wasnt expecting that. Fantastic. I got chills🎉

[@TheMeghv]

I need an album from Ben staaaattttttt😭😍

[@leo8812]

IT FLOWS SO WELL!! I love this ❤️

[@elphabamimi4]

Ben did a great job at arranging this song! It flows beautifully together!

[@judahcatherine]

Hi I'm supposed to be sleeping because I'm going to work in literally four hours but instead I'm watching this for the third time sobbing so thanks Benny Boy thanks

[@Snake-bq3kf]

Holy whoa. Two of my favorite Menken songs put together completely beautifully. Ben killed this.

[@wickedly4]

This is such a WICKED AWESOME ARRANGEMENT. And Ben singing it?? I've died thanks.

[@bellagraff9761]

He has this angel voice and yet in newsies they barely gave him parts where we could hear him

[@gabii_wild]

My biggest flex is that I saw him perform this song live! And I have a video of it 😍

[@luisserrass]

his voice is so smooth holy crap

[@moofloofers7325]

Ben would make such a great Quasimodo!

[@justme-ew3ri]

Tell me why the last minute was a whole different song to my ears, powerful.

[@mollywinchurst2056]

I literally said to my friends the other week that these two songs give off the same vibe

[@jn.tiffanychang]

AMAZING arrangement. So flawless. Couldn't have gotten a better mashup!

[@abigailford9032]

um i wasn’t ready for this IM DEAD.

[@marleygreen3866]

i have been waiting my WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS

[@meili2740]

I live for the transitions between songs, they feel so unexpected but they work so perfectly!!! My heart gives a lil’ jump each time

[@absolute-rose]

I will never not be impressed by Ben's vocal control and range.

[@abib3134]

If I didn’t know both of these shows I would’ve thought it’s one song

[@MisterITRO]

Awww... I was expecting him to end it like, just to “spend one day out theeeeeeeeere, in SANTA FEEEEEEEEEE”

[@sydneynorwell2579]

almost forgot to watch this today

[@ShakespeareanWannabe]

This is the mashup I never knew I needed, and I’m crying over it

[@shelbyresz0165]

OH MY GOD THERE IS JUST SOMETHING SO RIGHT ABOUT THIS

[@cherry-uy2hk]

I would die for this man

[@bethany5527]

Wow. I was in New York the day he did this. That's CRAZY

[@ktieryn_e306]

HOW AM I JUST NOW FINDING THIS?!?!

[@reagananderson8628]

The breath control I wish I had.

[@madisonmesser9992]

I didn’t know that I was waiting my entire life for this honestly but it is ART

[@girlpaul]

This rendition is such a tease. mashups leave me hanging every time I want to hear him sing Santa Fe in full and Out There :(

[@sadielandesman2059]

His voice is like reassuring smiles, welcome back hugs, a cold breeze on a hot day

[@gabbyl3856]

Baby boy did so good!!! I love

[@mishapenmoonmoth]

i would die for this man in an INSTANT

[@tinystarsandsunflowers]

I am getting chills from this song....such a clever hybrid of the two songs!!! it was so well done.

[@kas7693]

i just rewatched my cameo i got from him last year and then this came back up on my recommended i’m crying

[@chess9342]

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! That is all, carry on :)

[@athaya4478]

BENNNNNNNN 😭😭😭😍

[@emma-tw6gi]

A king.

[@EthanAntalosky]

no one asked him to be this talented... NO ONE

[@mirandariding5006]

When you can't like the video a million times because KZbin can't handle your adoration so you scroll through the comments and like everything 👍🏼

[@miyannapittman5580]

I AM DECEASED. It should not be legal to be this perfect.

[@emilybloodworth162]

Ben is the biggest Fansie of us all

[@SingingGinge]

I have had the biggest crush on him since seeing him in Newsies. 😍

[@iffanf9178]

what a gem

[@Klainer721]

This arrangement is so perfect and his voice is incredible

[@maryslittlebookshelf]

Benonce 💕💕

[@meili2740]

I live for this man singing the hunchback of notre dame

[@claratubiermont]

Seriously I swear if you're called Ben you have a beautiful vibrato and unbelievable talent, I mean like come on...

[@missmusic6926]

This! Is! AMAZING!!!!!😍 He has the most beautiful voice in the whole world! And the mash-up... It‘s funny, yesterday I thought: „Those two songs are very similar...“ and now I found this video😂 I love it❤️❤️

[@jasd4704]

I squealed when I saw that Ben Fankhauser himself did a mashup up out there and Santa Fe....my two favorite songs sung by an incredible singer/person

[@HippyChick709]

Honestly I think I’m in love ❤

[@owengrosskleg7119]

i am begging for this piano arrangment i want to perform it so bad

[@yaacovdavidowitz4502]

Wow!! How have I just discovered this guy?!?!

[@randompersonontheinternet3798]

i’ve watched this and rewatched this about fifty times

[@phantomvideowatcher]

2 of my fav Alan Menken songs ever sung seamlessly by Ben... ❤️❤️❤️

[@tabithakathlene4438]

How did I only find this now! My two favorite 'I want' songs have combined into something glorious

[@madisonrageth3570]

His smile through the entire song, is just amazing

[@isaacthedruid]

15 seconds in and I started crying from how beautiful Ben's voice is

[@casstheshifter2176]

Ummm the chords from Santa Fe playing underneath Ben singing Out There? Too beautiful

[@scottadams8202]

A great mash up , his voice is beautiful 😍

[@ivannabob262]

I've watched this video approximately 87 times in the past 2 days and I die every single time

[@zoesanders3636]

HE'S SO PURE!!! That smile has me weak

[@tinystarsandsunflowers]

In the first 2 seconds after reading the title of this video and hearing the little piano intro I put a like on this and added it to my "Favorite songs" playlist💕 Newsies and Hunchback are literally my favorite two musicals EVER and Ben Fankhauser's singing is amazing. Thanks so much for doing this medley!!!!!!

[@colossians317studios5]

I haven't even seen hunchback but YES

[@Cup0f_jo]

THIS IS GORGEOUS HOLY CRAP

[@michellewinderman5054]
