#BenPlatt #NYCC #Parade - Zábava
JRB playing the entire song with his eyes closed 🤩😍
@@thegaythespian yes! Incredible!
And BP sings half the song with his eyes closed.
It’s his most beloved musical he has written. He is just feeling the music. It’s muscle memory.
ANd Ben sang it with his eyes closed. LOL
What's crazy is, close your eyes when you're listening and it sounds just like JRB is singing it 😱
I'm coming back into my Ben Platt era again
This is one of the most joyous songs JRB ever wrote. Ben nails bith the house and the anxiety in the character and Michaela is amazing
JRB's playing is fire. No one will replace Brent Carver, but Jeremy Jordan came very close. Ben sells tickets.
@@ARReith You got it man. This is Brent’s song. Ben is passable here, but Brent’s performance at the Tony’s is the definite version.
@@SecondValveSteam I would see Jeremy Jordan in a revival though.... I'd see Ben if it was the only choice simply because I've never seen the show. However, he sells tickets. That's it.
They are great leads. Brown's a gifted writer and musician. Personally, I find this number quite tragic (given what happens).
@@SecondValveSteam Ben Platt is "passable"? Lol, *passable*? He is the best singer I've ever heard! And no, Brent Carver isn't better, I just watched a video of him.
JRB himself said that this is the best sung version of the musical.
I identify with the cast members sitting behind JRB, proudly and lovingly staring at Ben. Absolutely stunning performance 💗
Something happened. People used to identify "with". Now, they try to identify "as". lol
Dear Broadway gods give us a cast album
Love seeing Ben bring back this softness to Leo that we haven’t seen since the original casting with Brent Carver
I personally didn’t like Jeremy’s version of Leo. I feel like he doesn’t have that baritone sound on those lower notes like in Come Up to My Office. He is truly a tenor and Ben Platt I feel like is a baritone that really worked for those higher notes.
@@Christophersss I've always assumed he was a tenor... hm
I absolutely agree. Jeremy’s vocals are strong but really disliked the way he portrayed him.
@@alexanderslade9400 i think hes more of a low tenor.
Murderer rapists need softening?
Micaela sounds _fucking phenomenal_ as Lucille! 😍😍😍
The way I won’t have a cast recording of this makes me want to die
recently saw Parade in NYC, what an amazing show, but Ben was simply perfect.
My favorite thing is watching JLT in the back watching Ben crush this like a proud mama!
Yesssss, I finally tore my eyes away from Ben long enough to notice that and now I'm obsessed. So sweet!
Omg yes 😭😭😭
This score is otherworldly.
My goodness Ben Platt - that one was one heck of a performance! He really brought his vocal chops here and Micaela Diamond - oh I love her! She's got this presence about her that I cant help but admire. The pianist really is something too for playing that with his eyes closed.
The pianist is Jason Robert Brown who wrote the music ❤
@@fullcircleproductionsmontr1892 Ah, I didnt even notice he's part of the title as well. Haha. I give him props - he's the magic maker of this piece for the film. I actually wanna see what other music he wrote for other broadway shows. Much appreciated.
JRB
Truly the musical genius of our time
Of ANY era
Ben is Brilliant.
Magnificent Voice.
and this was just a rehearsal! His performance was so rich and nuanced. And his singing was ... I can't think of any more to say as it was perfection! There was a loud roar and long applause after this number. He nailed his other songs as well especially Come up To my office (with dance!).
thank you JRB for playing it CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!
this song is just exhilirating in platt's telling! better than i have ever heard it. so wish i could see this, phenomenal. jrb's playing ain't bad either lol
came back to watch this again and the haters in the comments are mad weird
SO excited to see this!!!!
Eugh I love Ben so much, just beautiful and Micaela is a powerhouse - this is wonderful!
This is absolutely stunning
Ben platt is the most perfect actor for this role that I’ve seen (but I still absolutely love the others) and also JRB- he’s a piano machine for sure ❤ it’s perfection
Am seeing this Wednesday and am obsessed with this clip. Cannot wait
wonderful
I’m a huge fan of Ben. The first time I heard him sing I was hooked. I hope this is still running in September. I’ll be in NYC
Unfortunately it closes on August 6. Go to NYC early and see it if you can - it was fantastic!
I can't stop watching it help
Ben always kills it. I looooooooooove Ben. Look at Jason though...it's amazing to watch passion like that.
Both are wonderful. This is a seminal work from a remarkable composer. A glorious piece wonderfully cast
this is absolutely incredible
Look at the actors in the background watch him. A small smile on their face. Amazing, what can't he do?
Totally love this Musical.
Did the first german production with my semi professional musical company in 2017.
Yes, anyone can close their eyes to this overpowering song..so deep...so touching!
Aww, that's so sweet, their interaction at the beginning! They really love each other. 😊
Just Magnificent.
Ben is Brilliant.
Nice performance by both Ben and Micaela. But Brent Carver (RIP) will always be my fav. Saw the original in NYC at Lincoln Center and it was breathtaking. Still one of my favourite musicals.
OMG! I had no idea Carver had died. I'm so sad!
@@ke7ejx Yeah he died August 4th, 2020. He was such a sweet man. I loved working with him, and was so glad to know him.
JRB and Mr.Ben are magical together 🦄
She's effortless.....!
Wow, love this!❤❤
this was great . great job ben n Micaela . piano player slaying
That’s the composer JRB
@@MusicalMe he is incredible . thank you
Bring on the girls !
Absolutely incredible
The way everyone looks at Ben
Jason still got it man
Ben Platt's voice is just so glorious
That left foot though! Ahhhh Jason!
What exactly is he doing with his left foot?
@@brickflix4949 keeping solid tempo like a beast.
Was fortunate enough to see JRB in concert a couple of times in London. His feel is impeccable. The man is a musical monster.
@@rowanalfred9346 wow, that’s crazy! I can’t see it from the camera’s view.
Stunning! ❤
Yes.Yes.Yes.
Oh to have Ben on the London stage 🤞
Please...take him...keep him..
@@fairamir1 I am guessing you are one of those neo-Nazis, and he is a national treasure.
@@Deci_Bella I am a neo nazi because I do not like Ben Platt ? How did you come up with that one ?
@@fairamir1 Because that incredible talent is impossible to deny.
@@Deci_Bella But how does not liking him as a performner make me a neo nazi ?
I lOVE BEN!
🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜💙💜
Oh, my sweet Lucille! How did you ever manage it?
You don't know what any of this means?
It means cancel all your parties.
Forget your big parade.
It means the crowd will not be cheering,
So despite what you've been hearing,
You can lay down your spade.
It means my mother can stop crying,
My rabbi's eulogy can wait.
It means that Dorsey can stop beaming,
And my cousin can stop dreaming
Of his portion of my estate.
It means, No! This isn't over!
No, the date's not set!
No, I won't wake up tomorrow
Drowning in my sweat!
It means I've got the greatest partner
Any man can get!
It means I'll never ever, ever
Underestimate that woman,
'Cause this is not over yet!
Tell my uncle not to worry!
Tell the Reaper not to hurry!
Make the hangman stop his drumming
'Cause I'm coming into town to win the day!
Somehow I haven't, with my scheming,
Screwed things up beyond redeeming,
And we're finally on our way!
And no, this isn't over!
Hell, it's just begun!
Hail the Resurrection of
The South's least fav'rite son!
It means I took a vow for better:
And two is better than one!
It means the journey ahead might get shorter;
I might reach the end of my rope;
But suddenly, loud as a mortar,
No, there's still a million things
That you and I can do!
You!
It means a man who isn't guilty
Doesn't have to walk the plank!
It means the gallows still are vacant
And we've got my wife to thank!
It means
You shouldn't underestimate
Lucille and Leo Frank
'Cause this is not over yet!
These two make me so incredibly proud to be Jewish
😘
PARADE and THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS (both based on gross historical injustices) are very challenging works that failed at the box-office because these true accounts are just too horrific for a general audience. I know both musicals are about the triumph of the human spirit -- but you're dragged so deep into man's inhumanity to man that you exit the theater wanting to open a vein. Nevertheless, I'm very sorry I missed Ben Platt in this production. I'm sure his inner-light brought some buoyancy to this very dark material.
Disney……..what are you waiting for? Ben Platt is the missing piece. Love from Manila. ❤❤❤
I like Ben Platt, but I prefer Brent Carver's performance. R.I.P. Brent, you are missed
Unpopular opinion: Ben Platt is just okay.
That certainly is unpopular! You must be deaf and blind.
Agreed. His vibrato is headache inducing and his mannerisms are completely inappropriate for the character he’s portraying. Not to mention his inflated ego
I want to hear this voice not break into vibrato at the soonest possible moment every single time.
I think he is amazing. His singing has had more of an emotional impact on me than literally anyone else's.
Agreed. It’s ear-aching
He’s no Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti
And none of them are Brent Carver and Carolee Carmello.
Actually love Ben and Michaela more based in this video
@@SecondValveSteam prefer Jeremy version a lot more tgan Brent.
Ben is certainly better.
He just does such strange things with his face and arms when he sings...
You just do such strange things with letters on your keyboard when you write comments.
@@Deci_Bella very true, very true. Ricbbeof0wjshebdf.
@@Deci_Bellagood one!
Would’ve loved to see a more mature actor get a chance at this… he just doesn’t seem to have the experience in his eyes or his heart. Pretty voice though
Platt's age is fine, he's just not nearly a competent enough actor to handle this text. Leo was 31 when he died. It's important to have actors around the age of figures like this to show the strength they showed while so young. Like Fred Hampton was only 21 when he was assassinated, I think that factor is stifled when you try to get "experience" over someone talented at the right age.
Am I the only one who thinks Ben Platt was wrong from day 1 for this role? He's just too young. None of the emotion is real and I doubt he can relate to Leo's struggles... and it's an absolute necessity for the role. Too many Evan Hansen mannerisms. Yes, I saw him do the show. JRB is still king of the piano...and always will be!
Leo Frank got what he deserved & this revisionism is sickening.
No you’re not the only one - I 100% agree
Vibrato is a sparkle, an embellishment for the end of a phrase. Not what Ben Platt is doin
lmao he sounds incredible stay mad
This is objectively false lmao
Jeremey Jordan did it better
Jason..why why why did you pick Ben Platt !!!!!! ANYONE but him. I will give Ben $10,000 if he can ever sing one song with out closing his eyes a dozen times. "Close eyes, tilt head..repeat..repeat..repeat..." Was Andrew Rannalls not available ?
Andrew is in London at the moment playing Jim Bakker in Elton John’s Tammy Faye musical. And apparently Ben did a workshop of this a few years prior.
This is the rehersal room. Why judge by that? What matters is what happends on stage, and he was phenomenal on stage.
@@CatchTheLoveBug Ben Platt has never been " phenomenal" on any stage anywhere at anytime. Period.
@@fairamir1 If he wasn't phenomenal he wouldn't be hired on Broadway year after year, sell out shows, win a Tony and so on. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's also abundantly clear that you made up your mind years ago and nothing that he does will ever change that. So what was the point of you commenting in the first place? You wouldn't change your mind even if he sounded fantastic. Your mind would be blind to that since it has been conditioned to dislike the sight of him. The critics are raving about Parade. Ben was phenomenal when I saw him. Period 🙃
@@CatchTheLoveBug He has one lead role Broadway credit.." Hansen" . Many people have had lead roles on Broadway that were not that great. Seen Hasselhoff in DVD of "Jeckyl and Hyde" ? Embarassing. Platt has some talent..but I do not ever think he will ever be a major " star" on Broadway.
Ben Platt is terrible lol
true story
You're deaf
God bless you.
Sorry I’ve been listening to Brent Carver’s 1999 Tony performance too much.
Also I get it, vibrato is a thing.
@@athepaki7706 I’m deaf from his vibrato. Helluva comeback though!
@@willjohnson-sasso2475 yes it is totally a vibrato thing! finally someone who gets it.
Wrong choice. Ben isnt suit this role, or atleast his act os unable to suit this role. It s just DEH all over again. If you mute the sound and just look at Ben acting amd moving. You d think he s singing one of DEH song. No feeling or message send to audiences like they suppose to be at all.
I assure you, he was the perfect choice. Ben as Leo Frank on stage is completely different from Ben in his private close at a rehersal.
@@CatchTheLoveBug already see the snippet of when the show play for real. Still repeat same word. DEH all over again. Every acting choices are the same.
@@JK_kline Well, I saw him live during the run last week. I've also seen DEH multiple times. He did not bring Evan into his every move on stage as Leo. There was one or two movements I immediately identified but the rest is very much Leo Frank. Keep in mind he was also nervous, anxious and in jail for most of it. The rehearsal was more laidback. I saw Parade the second night so the cast had warmed up to the live stage performance more than in the official videos that has been released. I'm saying I saw something different on stage than what they previously showed in the videos.
He is superb in this. Believable, charismatic, emotional, just the perfect LEO. Seeing him do this live was wonderful. And his choices were different and deeper from the work he had obviously done since this filming.
I saw Parade a few days ago. Ben is absolutely amazing, he is the best singer-actor I've ever seen anywhere. Seems to me there are quite a few people here who have no idea what they are talking about.
