[@TheSeanCorrea]

Came for ben, stayed for alex 🔥🔥🔥

[@princesskaguya2000]

Platt is so masterful with that intro; delicate and expressive. Stunning. (And no one ever has to say anything about Alex. They will bring the house down every time.)

[@Taxman95]

Totally agree

[@iLikePotato3s]

we need him as the next seymour

[@alixaugustine9599]

Alex Newell is such a star. I was introduced to them by Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and god, what a talent!! They deserve every success! Ben Platt is also very talented but I do think the DEH movie was a BIG miscalculation, as it made his nepo baby situation significantly more obvious. He deserves all the awards he’s received but they waited too long for the movie and casting him was a disservice to the material.

[@gomesbandrey]

I believe you can call Alex "she" instead of "they"

[@shawnstum5323]

Alex actually uses he/she/they pronouns, so either option is okay!

[@gomesbandrey]

@@shawnstum5323 Oh, cool!

[@AdolfoCoronadoDYC1980]

A fan since The Glee Project

[@kellilandry2825]

She has some great songs on GLEE!

[@MrJpanese]

Love how Alex did NOT hold back 🤣

[@Taxman95]

Let it rip girl!!!

[@tall1sobay]

Ok, so I'm a purist on this song and Ellen Greene is and should be the standard of which all other versions are compared to. HOWEVER, this one is just so damn good! Alex is amazing and does the song and Ellen, the justice it deserves.

[@philmorris640]

Ditto. Ellen Greene's performance (from nearly 40 years back!) IS the gold standard in this role! From her blonde bubble beehive to her charming manner of speech which carries over into song and her vocals, from timid to gutsy, pure gold. Alex Newell does bring a bit of bravado into the performance, a powerhouse all the way!

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

They paid Ellen proper homage by keeping the squeaks in, and thats brutal on the throat. S'why Ellen is an alltime icon.

[@deedeedan8681]

I was screaming "JESUS" after every moment Alex opened their mouth what a voice!!+

[@kelseyjean4042]

Alex hits that note, GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!

[@jenniferhemmerlein]

Alex Newell would be an AMAZING Audrey. Chills!

[@scottmiller7779]

Alex’s vocal just served Ben’s! That is how you give Diva!!!!! Simply an amazing talent

[@anrina]

the casting I never knew I needed till now! 😍

[@williamselby7740]

I'm still gasping for air over Alex's high note... wow!

[@michaelsmithers9961]

Alex, your voice always blows me away amazing rendition guys.

[@ladyastralis]

I think I choked with glory like three times during this. What a VOICE

[@Taxman95]

lol. Thanks for watching.

[@musicalme789]

I loved this! Alex's mix up on that A5 was perfection, love Ben's more breathy chest voice with that stunning vibrato! Pure joy to watch and listen to.

[@Taxman95]

Thanks for watching

[@TB317]

Agreed! Everytime I hear Alex hit that A5, I am blown away. It's like they invented the note. Truly perfect execution of it. And agreed, Ben's fluttery vibrato is so signature and beautiful. I could only dream of having such tonal distinction across registers.

[@MakuraZalis]

It's wild because his strength belting out his A5 is so powerful. He got checked out and they told him he has soprano vocal chords which is obviously rare for males

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Fabulous, Ben is a great Seymour, one of my fav songs to sing

[@Puggo_Huggo]

2:45 Alex launching us all up to heaven with this run.

[@Taxman95]

Outstanding special guest last night

[@Dilara_____]

AMEN!

[@Emily-jj4si]

Still can't believe Ryan Murphy snubbed Alex on The Glee Project - Alex is a national treasure

[@thomasaloisi7538]

he didn't. he ended up on Glee!!

[@colenagy3674]

Love this duet! Two of the best voices of our time.

[@LaurieYoungArtDesignWriter]

I can't stop smiling.

[@ashaleemaskiell-demarsh5623]

I think I've been waiting for this my entire life.

[@diegojimenez8757]

I need the producers of Little Shop to get it together and offer Alex a sum of money so large they have no choice but to say yes to doing Audrey. This is wild.

[@cornb8428]

She has such an amazing upper register. Oh my God. Applogies was placed and sang so wonderfully. You have me in tears. Love her

[@bobgarrett3367]

Alex is the bomb.. The best!

[@rhianolex9494]

I would love to one day see Alex play the role of Effie in a broadway musicale production of Dreamgirls.

[@oc5939]

Ben always gives me goosebumps. Amazing duet.

[@Taxman95]

Definitely gave me the chills listening to them last night. Thanks for watching

This is talent overload.

[@BradTea]

Alex would be a great Audrey after Jinkx.

[@BD-eu1id]

I’m all about this Little Shop gender exploration. MJ Rodriguez did everything for me. Truly love Alex’s rendition as well, along with Ben’s interplay with Alex.

[@helrisonn]

Alex is out of this workd

[@DeAnnaDuncanGrand]

She kinda ate his lunch in this number. Don’t get me wrong- I love him, but man did she sang!

[@Taxman95]

lol but i think I concur

[@MrBungee]

Is Alex even real??? WOW

[@chantelleemery5364]

Voice of angels 😍😍😍

[@andreacarter9545]

Wow! That was amazing. ❤

[@aryk2001]

I really have seeing Alex Newell on Broadway, on my bucket list for life. Alex has such incredible talent! Like OMG! That's like a vocal force of nature! I am so Happy Alex is using that voice and letting the world hear the magic of what that voice does to people, and their feelings. It's like a narration of emotions thru vocal flexibility, in such a beautiful way! I am so hooked!!!!!

Sooooooo goood!!!

[@hnc52]

Why does everyone have to scream after every impressive note? It's distracting to other audience members. I love Ben, but. he has the worst fashion sense.

[@Tony-Newman]

He needs a stylist to go with that amazing voice.

Impressive

[@jennytaylor8535]

Perfect casting!!!!

[@discoveringhealthandfinanc8328]

This was freaking amazing but there's just something about Barbara and Judy version of this song that cant be touched by anyone... nevertheless this version is a pretty close second.

[@richardarno]

Alex is true talent

YASSSS

[@ashleys8079]

No one other than Alex Newell should ever be allowed to play Audrey again. Cancel all the Audreys that ever were or will be immediately. But get her a better Seymour cause Ben Platt isn't it.

[@samsstudio9913]

im convinced that there’s absolutely no better vocalist than alex newell right now. i’m so proud that they’re a trans sibling

[@Lizwindsor]

I just LOVE these two! So talented! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Taxman95]

Totally agree

[@Daleylife]

Eh. I remember Alex from the Glee Project. They were messy and not very kind... hard for me to see their success

[@Mel-me9sw]

Lmao they were 18 years old at most during the glee project in a contest full of theater kids, I'm pretty sure they grew up a bit since then.

[@gayfawkes371]

1:14

[@MegaPrincessbear]

Ok, I don’t get the obsession with Ben Platt. Shot gun vibrato, poor rhythmic liberty, and he constantly drops phrases. Alex is of course always impressive.

[@thomasaloisi7538]

I always worry he is going to hurt people in the front row with his huge vibrato! I don't get the obsession either.

[@seanpage4963]

Yes! I love this!

[@Taxman95]

Thanks for watching

[@tourepruitt9371]

After Alex put the stank on that note. The background was like “oooooh we not being cute tonight. Okay. Let’s go y’all!!!!”

[@Taxman95]

Lol

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

Must have moar Alex...

[@jamiegdubois]

Ben would be a great Seymour!

[@donnalthood3102]

As talented as he clearly is...I cannot get over his fast vibrato....sometimes he sounds like a goat?

[@bskeete]

Breathtaking!!!

[@JW-xx1um]

I'm so over him...this is what he wears?

[@Tony-Newman]

Love Alex but no one can TOUCH Ms. Joy Woods as Audrey.

[@jonathandpg6115]

you are joking..... Sorry but there is only one person that set the bar for audrey that never got matched

[@michaeldemarco7694]

Sorry I said it..I hate his vibrato on certain songs. This was definitely one. Alex and Ben are amazing however why all the over the scream singing. Obviously his audiences love it. Just my 2 cents 😅

[@jeffreyb.7700]

She is fabulous…he is his usual mediocre self. He has a way of finding notes that don’t even exist.

[@victordunson719]

He has a Tony and gave a heartbreaking performance in Parade. If that's mediocre let us all strive for mediocrity.

[@Hal-x7l]

Alex's pronouns are they/them

[@bcbock]

@@Hal-x7l Alex is “gender non-conforming” and uses all pronouns, according to Playbill. And since the actor provided the information to Playbill, I think that’s probably the most accurate.

[@Awardshq]

O look, someone who thinks it's cool to bash someone over and over. It's old.

[@bbdiva52]

You're kidding, right?

[@coalwood7274]

FIRE her Stylist and Wig maker

[@tihgger7466]

Alex is a true inspiration. Ben Platt is a piece of crap.
