I absolutely loved his performance for Barry Gibb at the Kennedy honors! ❤ 😮 So talented!

I'm 68 years old, I grew up in New York City I've seen a LOT of Broadway. I saw Angela Lansbury's "Gypsy".... I could go on… I can say without question that Ben Platt's performance in "Dear Evan Hansen" is the greatest single performance I've ever seen given live on stage. If the show was called "Dear Edna Hansen" I don't think that Meryl Streep could have done what that kid did on that stage that night. He was jaw dropping!

Love Ben so much. 💕

[@jvarious8665]

Ben Platt is just the best! So talented and he seems so genuine and all around great guy. Love his past two albums and new singles.

[@lma8138]

I think Ben is super talented. I wish him all the best . 🤗

Love Ben. 🫶

Crazy how he rose to fame for bringing Dear Evan Hanson to the stage and then sent it into the garbage can when he did the movie.

[@MaleOrderBride]

I always felt the movie AND musical were lame! We go to see musicals for escapism and amazing backdrops like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Wicked". But "Dear Evan Hansen" is set in a modern day school with costumes worn by kids we see at a normal school 😅 even musicals like "Grease" and "Matilda" had cooler historical school costumes...

[@PastaSauce.]

@@MaleOrderBride the songs are very good though

[@MaleOrderBride]

@PastaSauce. true...but the whole location of the musical being set in a modern-day high school with modern clothes is...boring! I could drive down the block and see that right now?! 😅 we go to musicals for whimsy and escapism and fabulous costumes. The entire wardrobe of "Dear Evan Hansen" looks like they were all dressed by Target 😅

[@JamesBrown-ij1px]

@@MaleOrderBrideNot everyone goes to all musicals for those reasons. You may, which is fine for you, but musicals are not just one thing for every one.

COMMENT ON VID 9: OF BEGGING TO BRING JONATHAN BAILEY AND MATT BOMER ON SHOW AND MAKE THEM PLAY Who gon check me Qs!

[@TheZekedurham]

I will never understand the "fall down and worship" mentality of people when discussing Beyonce.

[@sushicourier]

Title is completely bullcrap. Barbra is talked about for 10 seconds of a 2 minute 40 second clip.

[@malloryemclaren]

Two words: THE POLITICIAN. That is all.

[@jeffkaplan2367]

Never bring up that he is a nepo baby. He freaks out.

[@elsacaceres4398]

What is the big deal ? Streisand. Jones?? Yes. She has only started out

[@ladesigner8764]

I don’t get his appeal…at all.

[@MaleOrderBride]

Right?! He is average looking...average singer 🤷🏿‍♀️ He's lucky his dad is rich and bought him his Roles...

[@ekvilist]

cause there’s not, no one cares about him

[@jvarious8665]

I think he’s an incredible singer and hot as well, many agree with me. To each their own.

[@seapumpkin]

@@ekvilist Yet you took the trouble to open the clip and comment, even though you're wrong. Strange...
