Dear Evan Hansen’s Michael Lee Brown & Mallory Bechtel sing Only Us at Broadway Under the Stars

Columbus Circle, December 3, 2018

[@edith3935]

I think mallory is my favourite zoe. No disrespect to any current or past zoes but she brings such an innocence but also a realness to the character. for someone who has had to deal with very similar to things to zoe at a young age, i can totally relate to a sense of looking for a quiet, normal life she brings to the character. like with some older zoes, it just feels like a love song but with mallory, evan and her realtionship seems to be one of the only things she can call her own and a place where she can just be a teenage girl. I'm probably reading into this too much but shes one of my favourite characters on broadway and i love love LOVE the way mallory is playing the character!

[@mp3holder94]

Edith I agree ! You’re not reading into too much at all.

[@Bachingchung]

I prefer to watch Mallory, but when I'm just listening to the song I still prefer Laura's version.

[@offbrandhandymanny]

Mallory and Gabi are my all time favourite Zoe’s

[@chocolate8409]

I love Mallory don get me wrong.. but I do prefer laura better. I love the obc!

[@emilygoodman6281]

I love how Michael’s so accustomed to embracing at the end of the song that he has to hug her. He’s so much like Evan it’s adorable.

[@soopersalad2509]

its crazy how much she sounds and looks like Laura Dreyfus, she could be her little sister! Talk about great timing, fitting the character really well. It's great this show was goin on while she is 18, and right after Laura leaves, because often on Broadway they try to get a first replacement who looks like the original.

[@alicejones9360]

I love how Mallory has such an innocence to her! Could be her age, but it’s so refreshing to see. Now I want to see these two in the show! Haven’t seen the yet 😭

[@PixieLowe1]

If you want to see MLB go on a Wednesday afternoon, not sure if he still does a second day on DEH, he used to but things have seemed to changed recently. However if you want to see them both together check Mallory's understudy is not on stage that day. You might want to get tickets in advance cause DEH tickets seem to sell out stupid quick and unlike other shows you can't seem to get them on the day of the show.

[@alicejones9360]

@@PixieLowe1 Thank you! Now to get to New York from New Zealand

[@PixieLowe1]

Oh wow good luck with everything. Hope you are able to get their if you do go I would def recommend seeing Anastasia, Waitress and there are tons of new shows going to Broadway including Beetle juice, so if you have a social media check out play bill. If you need any help with anything you can always message me. Ps if you can go out of peak season if you are looking to go to NY on the cheap.

[@nietzopaniquen]

@@PixieLowe1 he still does the matinee show on Saturday! Dunno about Wednesday though

[@PixieLowe1]

Hey thanks for this. I don't live in nyc will be back in the city in October but I feel like the show has changed so much since Ben was in it. I heard Mlb was amazing with Mallory. If you are in NYC must see Tina when it comes out. It is an amazing show. Adrianna well her talent and everything is such a blessing. Thanks for the info.

[@mia-pw6yj]

mallory's voice is absolutely gorgeous!

[@PixieLowe1]

MLB deserved to get promoted to Evan Hansen on broadway or they should of asked him to be Evan in the UK. He brings such raw emotion to the role and I love how he Is able to cry and bring that extra emotion to Evan in a similar way to Ben Platt did. Love them both.

[@Hhhhhh-sz9ud]

He’s Evan on Broadway two days a week. He’s very good, but in no way does he deserve the spot more than Taylor Trensch

[@PixieLowe1]

Sorry bro I disagree, I saw Taylor on the day Will left and was disappointed. Ben Platt was by far the best Evan and for sure in my opinion MLB wins second place. Each to their own but both actors brought far more emotion to the role. For me that is what I love about DEH the crying and the actors spewing their guts out on stage. Taylor is a great singer and I have nothing against him but this is just my humble review on the show. When I saw MLB he stepped down from doing the show twice a week to once I believe. All the best, take care.

[@lj3353]

I KNOW RIGHTT

[@PixieLowe1]

@Livvy Jaz Thanks, I know we all see these things differently but I really hope the new Evan brings that something extra back to DEH that has been missing, in my opinion from DEH since most of the OBC cast left.

[@lj3353]

PixieLowe1 I think the new evan is really good, he just need to train his vocal technique or he’ll damage his vocal

[@andypsynfyn]

I saw Michael Lee Brown understudy... probably the best performance I have ever seen.. Stunning! Please let him take the role when the show comes to London That would be ... AWESOME!!

[@SaloniMore]

I am melting at the way MLB is looking at Mallory! They have such awesome chemistry gahhhd! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@caitn4756]

God I still remember about 9 years ago, being in elementary school and discovering the video of her singing What is this feeling. Crazy where she is now.

[@MakaylaSamountry]

ok SAME! I'm still subscribed to her channel and have watched all her covers throughout the years. Then one day I see her on Broadway's official social media, so proud and happy for her! But definitely not surprised ;)

[@twigthetroll9279]

When I saw Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway these two were in it. They are AMAZING

[@amoebida]

heCK YEAH, also mallory looks so pretty ohmygod

[@regina5135]

Finally got a duet version of Mal doing the song!!😍😍

I saw MLB when I went to see the show on Broadway. He really should be promoted from understudy to the main Evan Hansen

So good

[@MiracleWinchester]

That dude in the corner is messing up my depth perception because I can't see the stage and I'm trying to gauge how far he is from the singers and my brain just tells me can't be standing/sitting right in front of the stage because his head is too small for that.

Nice performance but I don't understand why the comments are going off. A lot of their notes are slightly flat.

[@GREENROOMMUSICAL]

[@RAC3504]

I know it may be a little sacrilegious but I preferred MLB’s Evan Over Ben He was absolutely phenomenal. And Mal has a voice of an angel

[@PixieLowe1]

I have heard some people prefer MLB. However I saw Ben and I felt like he brought an extra level of emotion to the role. I am hoping to watch MLB next year on a wed afternoon. I was always hoping they would promote MLB to Evan or allow him to be part of the tour cast or promote him and let him go to London he deserves the world tbh.

[@andypsynfyn]

I saw him in an evening performance when I was expecting Noah Galvin?.. I was in such a foul mood..before the show started but honestly after 4 seconds he blew me away .. totally awesome .. I think it was not only his incredible voice but his stunning acting.. the 'dropping notes/ speech' scene was heartbreaking.. it was almost like he was hyperventilating absolutely mesmerising!!

[@PixieLowe1]

Ahh ok I never saw Noah, but I don't live in New York. However having seen Ben on several occasions and I saw MLB and Colton I can honestly say Ben took the role to the next level. Not surprised he left the show when he did, he was starting to get sick from all the emotion he was giving every night. I love MLB but honestly I have not heard of another DEH that cut out so many things from their lives just so they can do a great job on stage, like Ben did every night. I don't think MLB will be moving to London, but if you are in the UK I would def recommend seeing Anastasia when it comes to the Uk and Waitress with Kat will be amazing.

[@ProfessorSassypants]

Not at all sacrilegious, we all have preferences, it’s not like you said the OG’s were terrible :)

[@saschahoupt6177]

I saw Colton Ryan and loved him. It’s okay to have different preferences.

The Wed/Sat matinee Broadway Evan - Michael Lee Brown - and the current Broadway Zoe - Mallory Bechtel.
