"Waving Through a Window" from DEAR EVAN HANSEN

[@bhaktiagarwal5859]

His acting was so natural! This is my favorite song from the musical and he enacted it perfectly! Like, nobody can beat Ben Platt in this but this Evan stole my heart too!

[@workingwithlemons]

Thanks!

[@shannonmayfield5564]

Yes

[@CalebBelyeu]

I agree! This and You Will Be Found we’re my favorite songs but been hearing more of DEH and love them too!

[@evanhansen8162]

Thank you for your unconditional love and support and where are you watching from?

[@christiepatti9218]

Yeah I love this song🥰

[@alexiar.ramos-labonte1957]

The Evan and Zoe interaction was literally the best thing ever

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

I have autism and social anxiety. I am on medication for it all. Waving Through A Window is the perfect song to tell my story. You nailed my lack of eye contact, my nervous speech, and my constant apologizing.

[@MarieGrantham]

I have autism and a little bit of social anxiety but sometimes the teacher let's me to roam the school for a bit to calm me down and give me a bit of a break. I normally sit on a bench and either sleep or listen to some music or read a book.

[@oliviajoyner3217]

The part where he talks to Zoe is so perfectly done. Like it’s the best thing I have ever seen! Especially the part where we tries to ask her if she can sine his cast and he just ends up saying “oh who said that I don’t know” and then starts mumbling! It’s so great!!

[@ThiriShroom]

Yeah it’s way more natural than the original version

[@charlieneedshelp989]

Ben does it alot better, He sounds robotic

[@theruleofthree2851]

This is a highly impressive production. I've seen Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, and I think Porter is perfect here, vocally and performance wise. Come to Broadway, Porter. You'll be a big hit here.

[@workingwithlemons]

That's so kind! Thank you!

[@Ms.Chymander]

The part where he says "Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? It's like I never made a sound. Will I ever make a sound?" just hits hard for me. As someone who has trouble explaining feelings to other people and as someone who is afraid of saying the wrong thing so they just stay silent just hits home for me. And also, it's hard for me to talk to people when no one really pays attention to me or talks to me so staying quiet is easier for me.

[@ericsharpsteen3135]

I understand your pain, I feel the same way. People like us need to stick together. I hope you feel better.

This quickly became one of my favorite musicals.

[@aaronmcguirk9090]

I hope they do it EXACTLY like this in the movie. Amazing

[@georgeascunce3142]

The part in which he’s standing with the marker attempting to ask for someone to sign the cast nailed the character in my opinion . The final hallway scene in my opinion is have everyone in a time lapse and “evan” walking though the middle of the hallway alone to further emphasize the isolation , but this was exceptional

[@MeAnINFP]

This will forever be the best version

[@WilliamOCosta]

Guys, I've been rewatching it for months, like so much of the other videos. You're amazing, and I'm happy to finally be able to tell this at the comments. Congrats from Brazil, from someone that has always been waving through a window.

[@bobbyed5383]

Just saw the movie and I'm gonna be honest, the direction and editing on this was so much better! Great job!

[@Brandon_4272]

@@kyleruzzelsuyu2688 the movie wasn't that good. As a massive fan, I was extremely disappointed

[@anneloes2]

This was so lovely done! Good job on the whole team. Everyone already mentioned the very capable Evan actor, so I want to mention that the Zoe actress immediately came off as this likeable warm girl a lonely high school boy could essily crush on. I believed it! Thanks for putting it all together!

[@michaelflory5181]

What a lost opportunity that the Working With Lemons full crew wasn’t tapped to do the full movie version of the play. The film version has fallen flat, and it’s sad to say that. In these Working With Lemons clips, we get a sense of just how great the film version of the play might have been. I suppose that’s a fine accomplishment for Porter and the rest of the crew to have given us. The direction, staging, acting, singing-all were superb. Porter was Evan.

[@pghbekka]

I came to say exactly this.

[@whodatninja439]

the movie's direction was so bad. it looked like a fan film, and this actual fan film feels like a real movie.

[@michaelflory5181]

Whodatninja439 - that sums it up perfectly. Comparing the Working with Lemons videos with the film version would make a great case study for a film studies course.

[@zozo.b0z056]

Im 23, all my life I've been so lonely and friendless, listening to this song, makes me wanna cry 😢

[@iddomargalit-friedman3897]

Considering this was uploaded *3 years ago*, it's amazing to see how many new comments this got. I guess it means you are getting more traction, and you definitely deserve it! Great performance and amazing production quality, thank you.

[@NJB1920]

First Evan has an amazing voice second I really hope that people that feel like they don't matter will get help 'Cause we are all matter and it's just so sad that people are just so blind and so selfish this is the biggest well one the biggest problem people never see that some people are feeling not well and when they noticing them it's too late. People need to be better people need to do better. I really glad that people getting help. We all matter

This is SO well done!! I enjoyed the movie and I love the Broadway show but this is honestly one of my all time favorite covers and productions! 🎉🎉

[@markusmaglalang]

It's just sad that the actual movie is getting a lot of hate. Ben Platt actually played Evan Hansen and he knows the character in and out, and it showed on his movie portrayal. The movie deserves better, one of the few movies that made me cry.

[@ancientnicholas]

This is my favorite version by far
