Saw Michael as Evan on broadway and it was one of the best performances I've ever seen. He brought such a real aspect to the character it was even hard to watch at times because it was so real.
So there's this mini-play skit thing called "The Solve it Squad" on youtube and one dude plays like 7 characters and has a scene all by himself. it's really funny. you should check it out.
"We have to write some fake emails." "Why?" "Sooo... There's this family that's just falling apart because the son died and i kinda lied to them saying that I was his best and only friend. They asked me to show them our 'secret emails', but guess what." "What?" "They don't exist. That's why i want you to help me write them." "But isn't it a little..." "A little what?" "Nah, nothing. Here's the link for the doc."
Thanks for highlighting the understudies!! There’s so much talent there. Saw it twice with Ben and once with someone else, but don’t mind seeing it again 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
director: so... what role do you want to play?? Michael: *Y E S* edit: HoLy CrUnChY bAtH bOmBs a thousand likes??? I've never gotten this much likes before ;-; Thank you!!
I hope it glows to PR, the only Musical I’ve seen is Hamilton wen it came over. I want to see others and DEH is tied with Hamilton for my third favorite musical. So I need to see it.
in the show, connor does small quotations when he says “love,” because we all know his relationship with larry was bad. evan crosses his fingers on “dad” to show he’s lying. it’s a pretty cool detail.
I mean, Evan does love his dad, kinda at least. Like he resents for him leaving him but wants to be close. Connor on the other hand had the opportunity to be close to his dad but won’t say he loves him (he air quotes during this part) and it just adds to the subtle differences between them
Saw MLB as Evan when I went to the show earlier this year and he destroyed me so badly (in a good way) that I rushed it later that week and saw Taylor the second time. Two totally different takes on Evan but I loved MLB’s emotion that had me crying front row when he was crying too. Such a good show and performance!
Laura Bentley me too!! The weird part about front row was that I made eye contact with the actors at a bunch of different points, especially towards the end with Michael Park. Like honestly I was bawling so much that by the end I’m convinced he was just checking in on my to make sure I wasn’t a total puddle in my seat.
Michael invented talent. The characters are so perfectly distinct from one another! If you played this audio to someone I bet they wouldn’t realise it’s not three different people.
Met MLB at a theater workshop in Ocean City NJ, he was INCREDIBLE. He was talking about little mannerisms that can make or break a character and was switching from all three leads effortlessly. Amazing guy, so so kind and genuine. Made me and my two brothers jump out of our comfort zones to run scenes and learn the Sincerely Me choreo. Support him with everything you have! Love love love!
We saw Michael as Evan Hansen a month ago, and what a beautiful performance. I've seen Levi and Ben Platt, and all have been so moving and awesome, but I liked that Michael's Evan was truly a kid I could see sitting in my class. Quiet, shy, unassuming and easily stressed and easily overlooked. He gave a really honest and heartfelt performance. Kuddos to all the Evans, but I wanted to give a special shout out to Michael. Keep up the outstanding work!
Michael Lee Brown was my first Evan when I saw the show on Broadway (I planned my entire summer vacation around going to New York to see DEH). He was absolutely incredible. I love how, even in this video, he plays each character differently. You can totally tell his Evan mannerisms are different from his Connor and Jared ones. Amazing.
Had the privilege of seeing Michael perform, and it was amazing. He’s an incredibly strong actor. And for those who don’t know, Michael is an understudy for Evan, Connor, and Jared, but he always plays Evan for the matinees.
The understudies often have slight variations on costumes that the usual cast members wear, it’s also not uncommon for costumes to slightly change as a show is on longer
Me: *starts the beginning* Sister: OOH CAN I BE JARED? Me: uh... Okay Other sister: can I be Evan? Me: .... Fine. Sister #3: I WANT TO BE CONNOR! Me: Oh my-
I wasn’t so sure about mlb compared to Andrew. I’m seeing deh for the first time with mlb as my Evan. This is absolutely amazing. His vocals are just insane and I can’t wait!!
Went to go see Dear Evan Hanson in Buffalo N.Y. last night. Awesome experience it made me happy and all of the songs make since now. 100/10 is my rating.
I saw Dear Evan Hansen on April 2nd and he was absolutely amazing!!! I have loved deh since the beginning and I was so incredibly grateful to see it and it was amazing that he was playing Evan that day because I am such a big fan of him!!!! Anyway I love you Michael Lee Brown!❤️❤️
OMG, this made my day, my week and my year. I love MLB as Evan and flew to NYC last year specifically to see him. Kudos Michael and keep up the great work !!
MLB isn't the understudy for Evan's character, he's the alternate. The difference is he has regular scheduled performances each week. I'm glad to see the channel showcase him!
to clarify the actor didn't have to film this. he still did. he filmed the whole song singing all the parts for no reason other than he wanted to. i want that level of what the heck attitude in my life.
Great, finally a chance to see DEH for real in London, but parents being massive pains, so Yay. Guess I’ll go break in a glove with an ukelele in the bedroomdown the hall...
OMG YESSSS it's sooo gooooddd!!! Especially the harmony!!! My only complaint is that you put out some of the pauses that give the lines you are singing emotion, but you don't have to care about what I think! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!

I listened to all of Dear Evan Hansen song and I still dk who Jared is😭
@Creation 123 ahh so Jared is Evan's real best friend right?
*when you do all the work in a group project*
Why did I feel this on an emotional level
That's a mood
Oof
BIG MOOD
Why does that work so well
This is so cool. I wish the choreography was included but I guess it’s hard to chest bump yourself...
...maybe but it could be funny too.😂
it's not that hard??
They could make it happen with a little clever editing
This reminds me of the “pick yourself up” vine
I didn't know it was physically possible to sing or listen to this song without dancing tbh
Saw Michael as Evan on broadway and it was one of the best performances I've ever seen. He brought such a real aspect to the character it was even hard to watch at times because it was so real.
Dre Ronayne agreed but also HELLO DRE I LOVE YOUR VIDS AND DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE
@Dre Ronayne just imagine that comment on a #acting tiktok 😂
I agree. He was perfect!!
Me too!! I cried so much he was incredible❤️
He must be my dad. He is the only man I love
Also we love some understudy recognition, we've been WAITING for this
Dude yes. I was a understudy. I feel that very much.

Can we just see mlb do this on stage just putting on glasses, a cast, and changing his hair every time he has to switch roles
Ok but that would have been hilarious watching him do that all at the same time but i would soooo want that to happen😂
I just watched a show where the joke was someone did basically that and it was so funny
@Irregular Psychic nods in agreement
So there's this mini-play skit thing called "The Solve it Squad" on youtube and one dude plays like 7 characters and has a scene all by himself. it's really funny. you should check it out.
@@purplehairedsunflower7143 do you mean the one by team starkid?
Swings are the unsung gods and goddesses of Broadway.
Quite literally since most of the time they don't get to sing :/
I just realized now at 3 minutes in that it's the same guy in every shot-
Wow
and i oop-
Wait. Ummm. XD I didn't realize that
That would explain why i was thinking they all sounded alike!
Yo same
michael lee brown harmonizing with michael lee brown. that's it. thanks for coming to my ted talk
In this particular version, Evan and Jared are using Google Docs.
Neo Bryce LMAO
BAHHAHA LMFAO
I noticed that and I thought about and I can’t believe someone else actually noticed it😂
wait i feel like a shithead someone tell me why
is it coz they're using different laptops?
"We have to write some fake emails." "Why?"
"Sooo... There's this family that's just falling apart because the son died and i kinda lied to them saying that I was his best and only friend. They asked me to show them our 'secret emails', but guess what."

yo I saw it with Michael lee brown and he was so good in the role like
TWICE?!😱
Sara Saglimbeni me too!! He was great😄
I genuinely would pay to see MLB do the show where he plays all thr parts. He's so freaking talented.
Like that one episode of Doctor Who lol
Miraculous ladybug
omg and he puts on a cheap wig and a high pitched voice for all of the female roles
He can transform into all three of these characters seamlessly! Michael Lee Brown is a star!
director: so... what role do you want to play??
Michael: *Y E S*

I've never gotten this much likes before ;-;

His dad left him

Yeah. I really like him as Jared too, it's just, glasses do something to me
DUH YES 💗
Omg he’s SO CUTE in Connor
He also looks like Emo Spiderman. Give him a minute and he’ll start doing the dance
PLS I THOUGHT THIS MEANT MLB AS IN MIRACULOUS LADYBUG
Casting: so what role will you be auditioning for?
Michael: *uhh*
I didn't know I needed this until this very moment omfg
Does any else just love the guitar riff after "dear connor murphy, yes I also miss our talks"
Me and my friend sing it everytime
Went to grade school with Mike. He is a truely nice guy and amazing talent. So cool to see him grow into an incredible talent!
This must be so hard, knowing three roles that interact with each other and having to be able to go on as any one of them at any moment.
Michael's Evan seems so wholesome and I love it
Met MLB at a theater workshop in Ocean City NJ, he was INCREDIBLE. He was talking about little mannerisms that can make or break a character and was switching from all three leads effortlessly.

An amazing trifecta from Michael Lee Brown, who aces every role. Now let's see him play all three simultaneously on stage.
That's my dream cast right there
MLB isn't the understudy for Evan's character, he's the alternate. The difference is he has regular scheduled performances each week. I'm glad to see the channel showcase him!
ChristophProbst yeah he’s u/s for Connor and Jared and alternate for Evan
huh, a haircut and glasses can really make a person look entirely different
Wow, these guys really know how to blend well together!!
I saw him as Evan, he is so brilliant! Glad he's getting more recognition.
I memorized this song by heart
I sing this every night, full out dancing and all
My neighbors hate me 😌✨💛
This brings a whole new meaning to “sincerely, me”
this is a gift & so is mlb
I love his voice!!
Me at 2am trying to put on a whole musical by myself
I can't stop smiling every time I hear this song.

This is great! And the show FINALLY gets here next month. Can't wait to see it!
Michael is the best Evan hands down
FINALLY!!
Never knew I needed this til now!
Saw his performance this month he was incredible 😭
Great, finally a chance to see DEH for real in London, but parents being massive pains, so Yay. Guess I’ll go break in a glove with an ukelele in the bedroomdown the hall...
His voice is so hecking good omg!!
This is me trying to sing all parts in Sincerely,Me but this version is good
Same lmao. I only do a good Jared I think lol
OMG YESSSS it's sooo gooooddd!!! Especially the harmony!!! My only complaint is that you put out some of the pauses that give the lines you are singing emotion, but you don't have to care about what I think! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
The only thing that would make this better is if he did the choreography with himself 😂
Hell yeah!
How do their voices go together so well?!!!
