Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Andrew Barth Feldman, he played Evan on Broadway at age 16 AND got accepted into Harvard.

[@ADG63]

He was the one that I saw in the play. And he personified the character. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@mitchellbrown06]

Ben Levi Ross has the most consistent sound in my opinion. He’s got that smoothe like butter feel ya know?

[@Fail_Inc]

@David Wagner Ben Platts vibrato adds a lot to the music I think- It makes it feel anxious and scared

[@emmabell529]

He’s the Evan I saw and it was AMAZING

[@mitchellbrown06]

David Wagner I think Ben’s probably one of the best actors to ever be on broadway personally tho.

[@nathanfrewen4730]

It’s the way that he has no vibrato on the high notes. Shows that he has serious control

[@Sokaka999]

smooth like butter like a criminal undercover

[@rileel3229]

That recording of Andrew Barth Feldman did him dirty. I personally think he's one of the best Evans. Also Sam Primack is so good!

[@jlaud29]

I think that audio was of Andrew’s last show, So he was likely a bit emotional. I saw him and July and I think he sounded better on this than when I saw him. Just remember he was 16/17 at the time so he wasn’t totally consistent vocally

[@callmekc9793]

I totally agree. He is way better thsn on this recording

[@elphbwckd212]

Idk. I was pretty underwhelmed with his voice when I saw him. He wasn't bad by any means, but he was definitely straining a lot more than any other Evan I've ever seen. He was more shouting the high notes than actually singing through them. It sounded a lot like this audio, actually.

[@kierranodel9158]

I’ve heard other recordings of his singing, and I do think he’s better than this clip gives the impression of. Personally, I feel like his strengths lie in his acting and how easy it is to really connect him to this anxious teenager (admittedly he is one, but still) and his emotions.

[@eliadams3711]

Eh personally I think he has too much nasal and over uses the vibrato.

[@hectortolentino249]

Noah galvin's "waaaving waaving", Ben Levi's "wooaah" made me gosebumps

[@kibo8567]

Ben Levi Ross is so underrated! Vocally the strongest and the most fitting to the character. Easily the best Evan had he played the role first. Sam Tutty is also promising when I saw him live -- far better than he sounds here.

[@ghoull_bboy]

They use they/them pronouns actually but I agree

[@Copperflash]

Ben Platt is just the perfect Evan imo. Pretty much all the others are still fantastic, but there’s just something about Ben Platt’s performance that is just **right**. I’m going by the times I’ve seen it live and the bootlegs I’ve watched. Ben Platt is perfect, his mannerisms, his voice, his sudden confidence when the conversation involves trees. Everything. He even looks exactly how I imagined Evan Hansen before I knew anything about the musical.

[@aromaticchicken518]

there's a warmth and vulnerability to his voice that most of the other actors don't have, especially in this super high belty/screamy register

[@sketchers3115]

I definitely agree he is amazing as Evan. But idk abt him in the movie, he just doesn't pass for 17 anymore 🤷

[@mychaeltorres2436]

The best Evan, character-wise, is Andrew Barth Feldman hands down imo. But singing-wise, Jordan Fisher, Ben Levi Ross and Ben Platt simply cannot be touched. People don't often talk about Ross but he has an incredible voice and is arguably the only that doesn't sound like he's reaching and/or straining for the notes in the climax.

[@ElftheDog]

I would look into Sam a bit more too vocally! He has a tik tok and posts singing vids and he can actually belt quite high!

[@mollygarrigan6763]

Ross his vowels and tone are immaculate like I got goose bumps

[@jessicawillhite9559]

I saw Andrew Barth Feldman in NYC on broadway for a vacation once, and I was so blown away. I cant say anything about the other Evans, but I listen to the soundtrack that uses Ben Platts voice and I love it as well. I also really like the girl that they had at the same time in only us

[@ianpolicarpio7969]

I absolutely agree, especially with Ross. Even between those three, it's still very clear to me that he is the most technically proficient when he sings this role. Every song I've heard him sing, he has incredible control and air flow, commanding both extremes of his range with such ease!

Some of these recordings do not do the singers justice. For example, while Andrew's strength imo lies within his acting, his voice was really good in most of the recordings I've heard of him. This one just didn't do him justice.

Can't comment on everyone based on this: Consistently sings the part REALLY well - Ben Levi Ross. But have never seen any bootlegs of his, so can't really comment on the acting. Ben Platt - Consistently good with the acting side, but not always rock solid with the vocals. He seems to do loads better generally in more controlled conditions, concerts and recordings and the like. He's got an incredible voice, but I think he felt a lot of pressure, as the original Evan - Tony Award winner, and all that, to go on, even when he wasn't in the best place vocally. So there's some shaky performances unfortunately. Taylor Trensch - Lovely acting. He has a really unique voice, which I can never quite decide if I like or not. But I'm always really drawn to him as a performer. So he's doing something right. Jordan Fisher - It's a real shame he only got 2 months as Evan before lockdown. Everything I've seen of his interpretation has been lovely. Great vocals, great acting. I look forward to seeing what he does with the part. Andrew Barth Feldman - He's just a little treasure. Solid acting, vocals usually pretty good, but not always consistent. I do wonder whether, in hindsight, the producers decided a teenager was a bit too young to carry the main role of a show like this, because they hopped right back to a mid-20s performer with a track record right after.

Ben Levi Ross has great acting in this scene. SO GOOD all around.

[@aliciaclifford8293]

The thing you have to remember about ABF is that he's a very mature actor, and this is a really difficult role. Most teens wouldn't be able to handle it in this caliber of a production. That's why it was such a big deal when he got cast.

[@ravengorospe8398]

I had to disagree on Ben Platt, coz he's amazing.

[@jujimonnocomment2299]

100% AGREEEEE

[@rjpaderayon]

When I saw Jordan Fisher his acting seemed forced

[@roldanjandayan3828]

My Top 5 and Reasons 5. Andrew Barth Feldman - Felt the desperation when he belt out “can everybody see” part which is I think the emotion required by this song. 4. Stephen Christopher Anthony - I can imagine him performing it live. 3. Jordan Fisher - Damn those technicality, bruh. Sooooo gooooddd 2. Ben Levi Ross - The most heartfelt performance (based on this compilation. And damn the delivery was so clear!) 1. Ben Platt - Coz I cry every time I hear him perform this 😢

[@Twykye]

Ben Platt has an amazing voice but he also totally captured the subdued invisible kid absolute frustration in his singing.

[@knaxor]

Why is no one talking about Zachary? He's got a rough start, but the support on the "waving"s sounds great.

[@sophiedippel7883]

I saw him in the Toronto production and he was incredible!!

[@greyandok]

I saw Ben Levi Ross on Broadway and he was so so good. And the clip they supplied here really shows that too.

[@telephonewyre]

I've seen Robert live locally in several productions and man he's so talented. This clip doesn't do him justice.

[@rileyware3280]

ItsDylanHere I know right! He was amazing in Toronto when I saw him!

[@sydneycc2166]

I saw Zachary Noah Piser live and he’s so underrated!!! He was absolutely amazing as Evan!

[@fluffycow1175]

YES EXACTLY I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT

[@karinneypenny]

Y'all are sleeping on stephen christopher anthony. saw him in person and he's amazing

[@jessmaloney8375]

I saw Marcus Harman live earlier this year in London. One of the best experiences of my life!

[@finleyforevermore]

Noah Galvin and Zachary Piser both deserve more attention.

[@IBG000]

Everyone’s tryna pick favorites meanwhile I’m here falling in love with all their voices

[@jaydene.cunningham6517]

I've never really noticed this before, but I think Ben Platts very quick vibrato really adds to Evans character specifically, cuz it's easier to provide a feeling of anxiety when it's spinning so quickly 🤷‍♂

[@adelinereacts]

I saw Matthew Edward Kemp as Evan recently and he was PHENOMENAL. Hard to hear on this but his voice is immaculate, his sustained high notes blessed my ears

[@Cocolove205]

my favs are ben platt, noah galvin, ben levi ross, andrew feldman, sam primack, and jordan fisher. i know that’s a lot but they’re all so good!!

[@itzcomplicated7708]

THESE VOCALS ARE SOOO PERFEEEECT IM CRYING INTERNALLY

[@emrocks-yh3qk]

David Jeffery was incredible! I know he plays Connor now but he was so good as Evan vocally!

[@brennaevem]

i saw Sam Primack (as Evan) and Noah Kieserman (as Connor) on tour back in January and they are sooo insanely talented, love them

[@claymiller9707]

Ben Levi Ross is quite underrated. I saw him live in Denver. Brilliant and stunning.

[@bethanyvrooman9698]

I never realized before how many Evans have either Ben, Noah, or Marcus/Markus somewhere in their names.

[@tiffanylove4445]

Ben (platt), Sam (tutty), Stephen, Andrew, and Jordan are my freaking most favvvorite Evanssss💕💕💕😭😭😭

[@bellamybomb]

I’ll always have to go with OG Ben Platt - but damn Ben Levi Ross has an AMAZING voice. They all sound so good though and I think very unique in their own ways

[@sophieabi737]

Platt and Fisher will forever be my favorite Evan’s

[@vampera82]

The fact Colton was amazing at Evan and Connor is phenomenal but evans spot will forever be Bens

[@lucymurray3550]

Saw Marcus Harman live and he’ll always be my favourite Evan, fucking spectacular singing 👌👌

[@kaestiell]

sam primack will forever hold a special place in my heart ever since I saw him as evan 🥺🥺

[@milagros104]

surprise about David Jeffery.... all bring their own personality to it. But him I'm most impressed

[@kacielynne5104]

[@fluffycow1175]

[@internalscreaming7566]

[@arislamb35]

[@ceciliabendtsen1008]

I saw Marcus Harman live, and that recording doesn't do him justice. He sounded amazing and acted really well too

[@JackGiblenSinger]

Some of them just sound like they’re half shouting it if I’m completely honest. Which I get can happen in the moment when acting but Ben Levi Ross, damn!

[@catherineleah5286]

I saw Stephen Christopher Anthony in the national tour and he was phenomenal
