Michael Lee Brown singing “Waving Through a Window” from Dear Evan Hansen on 01/30/18

[@megankarow2328]

michael was my evan. he had me sobbing throughout the second act. i couldn’t have asked for a better person to play this character.

[@sawyer6264]

Megan Karow he’ll always be my Evan too. I saw him a few weeks ago and I fell head over heels for him

[@tylapia2016]

Ben Platt

[@Junryl]

Literally same. I was bawling and hyperventilating

[@victordunson719]

Saw him today at the Saturday matinee. He blows T.T out of the water both in Singing and Acting. I felt like I saw a whole new show with him....

[@j03y_jinxx]

Matheus Damasceno, HOW ARE YOU SOOOOOO LUUUUUUUCKY??? I wish I could’ve seen Ben Platt, or Taylor Trensch, or Michael Lee Brown. I saw Ben Levi Ross. I mean, HE WAS PRETTY GOOD THOUGH, HE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY AMAZING. Actually, I think I just wanna see all of them. XD

[@clairebaranovic8378]

I saw him today and hes the nicest person I have ever met

[@annahamilton4471]

I saw him recently when I was fortunate enough to see DEH in nyc . I think it’s a poor decision to keep him as the under study . He’s so believable as a 17 year old and full of pure talent.

[@jasonpallini8859]

So I’ve seen 3 Evans (Michael lee brown, Ben platt, and Taylor trensch) and they were all phenomenal, but mlb was my first evan so I’m always gonna be partial to him (plus he’s the nicest dude ever)

[@victordunson719]

Bio Productions Saw Michael Lee Brown last week and he was so incredible.

[@kelseyriley3547]

I’ve seen Ben in the role and Michael and for me, Michael was my favorite. Ben was obviously incredible but Michael just brought something so incredible to the character. Seeing this made me cry, I want to see him again.

[@57andstillkicking]

I think Michael is better than Ben in every way.

[@andypsynfyn]

Saw this show twice at the end of December last year... first time.. I was a little mad because Noah Galvin wasn't on... but as soon as Michael opened his mouth... he absolutely me blew me away.. I don't think I've ever seen such a consummate character performance in a Musical.. his presence.. his voice and his absolute absorption was utterly incredible.. I think I totally sobbed throughout...

[@notactuallywill3620]

The understudies/alternates had more freedom with the character than the main actor.

[@itsrey3212]

Why do they keep this boy as the understudy???? He's incredible!!!

[@jchamp_7]

It's Audrey he’s the alternate now

[@itsrey3212]

dumbzombie24 So I can infer that he will make more appearances on stage? He deserves it.

[@jchamp_7]

It's Audrey yep. He plays Wednesday and Saturday matinees!

[@itsrey3212]

dumbzombie24 That's awesome. I wasn't aware. Thanks!

[@kyradevaney9420]

Well I saw him today he’s amazing!

[@prongsverse]

So I’ve had the chance to Sorta meet him twice (the first time I kinda just stared and started to cry when he smiled at me) and he’s the sweetest human ever omg, I gave him art at the stagedoor and he was so happy and cute he’s an amazing singer and just ugh I love him so so much 💙💙💙💙💙

[@shayworz]

i just saw deh this past weekend in nyc and having michael as evan was the most amazing experience. he is so talented and his fake tears almost brought me to real tears every time. i believe that he is way too talented to be an understudy!!

[@myvault2]

Stop my heart is breaking 😔 we miss you Michael

[@notactuallywill3620]

I think he is probably the most believable, and my favorite Evan based on how he performs the last 45 seconds of the song.

[@julianasuarez7687]

This is the first time I’ve ever heard Michael sing and I’m in love 😍

[@elvanmcm]

I bought a ticket months in advance and it happened to be a Saturday matinee. I now know it was my luck because I got the see Michael's ***incredible*** performance as Evan. I cried my way through show, and I still get teary eyed just thinking about it. Such a moving performance...If I could, I would go back to see him do it again in a heartbeat! What a superb talent. It was a pleasure to meet him and thank him at the stage door. I am hoping to see him again later this year and maybe even on tour.

[@beepbeepeddie8010]

mlb is underappreciated >:^(

[@millabarrientos394]

I have had the pro page to meet him his is so amazing and talented and humble omg I love himmmmmmm ❤️I was actually at this event with him with my high school we sang you will be found with him❣️❣️❣️

[@introxgrunt]

I saw him live last Friday! He was INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@bellabennett1677]

I got chills before he started singing. I actually love and want one

[@mariat6717]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I've been on a search for recordings of MLB since I saw him on stage. He's extraordinary, thank you

[@jaqenhghar2446]

Saw Taylor Trensch as Evan. Now I simply have to see Michael Lee Brown as Evan!

[@victordunson719]

Jaqen H'ghar Me too yesterday with Evan and I got Michael next month.

[@RAC3504]

SLAYED!! 👊🏻👊🏻 So excited to see this show again in couple weeks. Hoping MLB is still doing the Wed matinees. I’ve heard he is incredible as Evan and based on this clip that’s definitely true !

[@victoriap.3394]

I saw him last week at the Wednesday matinee he was AMAZING!! I can't believe he's only an understudy

[@meghan3105]

OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH HIS VERSION

[@emmamadison1289]

THIS GUY IS AMAZING OMG

[@victordunson719]

[@Reonnex]

Im sorry but he looks like will ( forgot how to spell last name he plays Jeremy heere )

[@bellabennett1677]

Soul of Music will collony? coleny ?

[@pejsek2001]

Will Connolly :))

[@Poppy-ek6lc]

oh yeah he does

[@emmaw7950]

Oml he does

[@spoond1144]

Soul of Music that was my first thought lol

[@justaguy1768]

So good

[@elvanmcm]

If you love MLB check out his EP, Way it Used to Be!

[@softerforphil]

IN THE BEGINNING HE SOUNDS LIKE GEORGE SALAZAR IM SCREAMING

[@jennifergardner2824]

WE’LL MISS U BEN

[@mikikaoru7111]

He says the ‘waving’ too forced. I don’t know why

[@legoindiecomments1344]

MikiKaoru Because the note is so high to sing and is at the tip top of most tenors ranges.

[@elvanmcm]

Aside from the song constantly escalating (as Evan gets more and more frustrated), the entire company is on stage and singing at the same time he is during the second half of the song. He sings the last part loudly so he can be heard. And on stage he is flawless, he is in tears when he is done singing (and so was I)! I would go watch him as Evan every time he is on stage if I could.

[@omayraperales6514]

He reminds me of Will Connolly :o

[@alyr228]

I see why he's an understudy, but he's great

[@annemalmud7394]

Are the hand movements choreographed? His are VERY similar to ben's.

[@gwendolynnguyen3028]

I wouldn't say they're choreographed-- I think it's more like an imitation of Ben's interpretation of the character. Especially when you're understudying a role, it's hard to fully create your own version of the character, so borrowing is common. It'll be interesting to see how Evan's character evolves with different casts.

[@chance_elliott]

Wednesday and Saturday matinees MLB goes on as Evan in case you wanted to know

[@prongsverse]

IM CRYING WTF

[@artemisiafowl13]

Omg what is this from where did he do this?

[@Beaky322]

ABA 2018

[@clarabrandaog]

Is him Jeremy from Be More Chill?

[@Dominic-so1hd]

Clara Brandão I believe the actor for jermey is Will Connolly

[@clarabrandaog]

yeah, i messed up. lol

[@comepact2734]

imagen him playing the phantom in phantom of the opera

[@donovanbishop5811]

I was in love with his voice until he started holding out the words too much. And his waving wasn't pleasing to the ears. Also, his face was contorted in an angry look, when I guess I always envisioned a look of exasperation and loneliness. Before he sounded flat I was about to crap myself the beginning sounded phenominal.
