[@ClycloneMC]

For someone so soft spoken, he has an insanely powerful voice. Love. Absolutely love.

It’s almost like you can see him stopping himself from signing

AUSTIN MCKENZIE FOR EVAN HANSEN

[@Dingdong0130]

lyndsey honor YES

[@stephaniel2850]

That would honestly be so amazing!! And it's something I would LOVE to see especially because I feel like Austin's take on the role would probably be quite different from Ben's! Ben had this intense frenetic energy about him that made his performance incredible, but I feel like Austin would maybe approach the role with a more internal, quiet kind of expression of anxiety that could be just as powerful, and I'd be super interested to see that!

[@lyndseyhonor2539]

Stephanie L I’d buy tickets as soon as I saw them🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lyndseyhonor2539]

Like when they cast Alex Boniello- HOW DID THEY NOT SEE GIANT RED SIGNS POINTING TO HIS OLD CASTMATE

[@oli8033]

ok but how about Austin McKenzie as ORPHEUS?

[@jayscave6820]

This makes me so fucking sad. Knowing Austin didn't grow up with a father figure...I'm crying. I love him. Such an amazing and talented guy.

[@yubesu7705]

Guess that's why the emotions he put in this song are so raw and genuine. Mad respect to this young man....

[@lexi_norris2070]

I love Austin McKenzie.He sings so good.He is so cute too.

[@maurajaeger8115]

This song and Austin's performance gets me every time. So incredible. I can't listen to this without getting chills. Beautiful. Incredible. That's all I can say; I'm speechless. Truly, truly incredible.

[@malinhellden00]

[@whyworld1]

[@amirulzain]

+John Paul He dropped out though. I don't know why.

[@whyworld1]

Aneurin Ortiz ik, he dropped out because a musical he was in went to Broadway and it ran through the filming dates for the movie :(

[@amirulzain]

Haha. Go look up the musical. It is the most amazing thing ever.

Every night after dinner we’d sit in the moonlight Mom would recall days gone by Later on as I crept to my bed after midnight She’d lie awake and cry Why did he do it? What did it accomplish? How is this better for our son? Our only son She asked for one reason Mom looked so strong but I knew she was hurting I toughened up for her sake But her memories were stained by my fathers deserting I couldn’t take his place Why did you do it? What did it accomplish? How is this better for your son? Your only son I ask for one reason We’d play catch in the yard on those long summer days with our mitts in hand We would stand at the mirror, I learned how to shave and become a man And every night when you came home from work you would say ‘How I love you kid’ But you never could love like you claimed that you loved after what you did I’m only asking for one reason When you let yourself go it’s like you didn’t bother Did you care how I’d be on my own? How could you be so quick to forget you’re my father And take back all the things you’d shown Why did you do it? Why did you make me listen? Why did you make me believe in you? Why did I wanna be just like you? Why am I turning out just like you? You taught me to be selfish too. Well I guess that’s what fathers do They pass things down Now I’m here on the ledge This is your legacy God please take it away from me I wish this could all be undone But I’m left here without one reason So give me one

[@kel8029]

does anyone know where i can get sheet music for this???
