In case anybody likes to re-watch specific people on repeat like I do... 0:07 - Ben Platt 0:32 - Colton Ryan 0:57 - Michael Lee Brown 1:22 - Noah Galvin 1:47 - Taylor Trensch 2:13 - Ben Levi Ross 2:37 - Stephen Christopher Anthony 3:01 - Noah Kieserman 3:24 - Roman Banks 3:48 - Andrew Barth Feldman 4:13 - Robert Markus 4:37 - Zachary Noah Piser 5:02 - Josh Strobl 5:25 - Sam Primack 5:50 - David Jeffery 6:16 - Sam Tutty 6:41 - Marcus Harman 7:05 - Matthew Edward Kemp 7:30 - David Breeds 7:54 - Jordan Fisher

1. Ben Platt (OG; most beautiful tone) 2. Ben Levi Ross (cleanest) 3. Noah Galvin (“waving” was so good)

I actually love how this shows how there’s always at least one person filming illegally 😂😂😂

Ben Levi Ross. No strain, healthy placement, immaculate vowel modulation, powerful yet vulnerable. 👌🏼

Is everyone saying “hands down _____ is the best Evan” a pun because Evans arm is broken or just....

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

Holy heck there have been a lot of Evans.

why is nobody talking about Andrew Barth Feldman here?? he was 16 when he was first casted for evan. six. teen. that's majorly impressive, and his singing is phenomenal!! he deserves more recognition and his acting for evan is on point! this recording did not do him justice smh

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

Don’t get me wrong, every actor that played Evan was phenomenal but nobody will every beat Ben Platt 😔👊

Ben Platt Jordan Fisher

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.

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!

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.

“Ben Platt was the ONLY choice for the movie! No one can do it like him!” I present to you exhibit A:

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

Sam Tutty does an incredible job as Evan, not to take away from any of the others because they’re all amazing, but Sam Tutty really embodies Evan and has a certain softness to his voice that really adds to his performance

Everyone in the comments just arguing about who they think is the true Evan Hansen. And the true Evan Hansen is Evan Hansen, hands down.

David Jeffery is pretty underated, but Ben Platt and Jordan Fisher can't be beat

i saw ben levi ross in the national tour last year and he. was. AMAZING.

Sam Tutty is simply incredible, you can’t even tell how much by this little bit. His voice is just enough like Platts to sound like an original Evan but also so unique to him and so well trained besides that. And his acting made me want to just run up on stage and hug him. Remarkable.

The way Jordan Fisher kills every role he does...

Ben Levi Ross is the strongest one. His vibrato is gorgeous and the tone exceptional. He more effortlessly hits the high notes than many of the others as well.

Andrew Barth Feldman is a sweetheart and is crazy talented. He's perfect.

idk what y’all are talking about, they clearly all have earned the role. besides, no one can live up to the *writer* of the show.

THE AUDIO DOES NOT DO HIM JUSTICE BUT SAM TUTTY IS UNBELIEVABLE BRO LIKE HIS EVAN WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAV HES SO TALENTED

david jeffery needs more recognition, he’s amazing. +jordan fisher’s an amazing evan. recordings don’t do him justice.

idk why but i just really love taylor's evan. he's not the strongest vocally, but he just. he just is evan to me idk

I saw Stephen Christopher Anthony and his performance was just so effortless.

Ben Levi Ross is my personal favorite. I was lucky enough to see him in the role and man did he just embody that character perfectly.

Okay can we talk about how amazing Noah Galvin sounded on the high "waving" part? Cause WOW

Dear Evan Hansen Fun Fact: David Jeffery is awesome

I was lucky enough to see Sam Tutty as Evan last year, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal! His acting was second to none, and his cheeky little smiles and twinkle behind the emotion is just *chefs kiss*. For me, he is everything that Evan needs to and should be. Perfect!!!! In every way

I know Sam personally. He is such a kind and talented human being. Ima vouch for him

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 😢

I may seem basic but Ben platt just holds such a special place in my heart and his performance was beyond incredible

disappointed Trisha Paytas wasn't in this video 😫😞😔

Noah Galvin is actually incredible?! My favourite is probably Jordan Fisher or Ben Levi but I appreciate all the Evan's insane talent

I’d get goosebumps imagining Ben Levi Ross perform this live. 🤍🤍🤍

The jump from the climactic belting to that final whoa coming back down takes so much control its ridiculous. These guys make it sound so easy!

Out of he two I have seen Andrew Barth Feldman is my favorite. For how young he was he was fantastic

I have to say Robert Markus is super underrated 🤷🏼‍♂️

I saw Sam Tutty on the west end and he was absolutely phenomenal. I know Ben is always our Evan, but I think Sam will always be mine

That was a bad day for Colton, bless his vocal folds lol. Im obsessed by him and I know he isn’t that strained normally. BEN LEVIS IS A BABY 💚💚💚💚.

Some of these guys were screwed by bad recordings. Of course Ben Platt's sounds amazing because it's a fab recording- and he's amazing. I quite liked Andrew Barth Feldman's version but I'd love to hear Steffan Hughes do it. He rocks For Forever.

I love the fact that now Colton is now taking the role as Connor. I think it fits him really well

I love them all and I think Ben platt and Ben Levi Ross have to be my favourites but I just love how clear and effortless Noah’s “waving, waving, woah” sounds

ben levi ross has been my favorite for over a year now and he still is... that VOICE man !!!

The thumbnail made me thought we were gonna hear them all at once for some reason.

My opinion: They all did an amazing job, and decided to make the character of Evan their own, so I will not rank them. I like some of their vocal choices better than others, but they all did an amazing job.

Sam Tutty is the complete package visually as well as vocally, but I will say that the playback does none of them any favours

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND I SAW HIM DURING THE NATIONAL TOUR AND SAM PRIMMACK IS JUST SO GOOD

Everyone in the comments/in their head is just saying: “...this is the best evan. No one can change my mind.”

Saw Robert Markus live, this audio isn’t doing him justice, he’s INCREDIBLE! 💕

things i like about them all: ben platt: his voice fits so perfectly and thats ‘woahhh’ 2: it just feels as if he hits every single note so well 3: the way he says the words,,, like,,, so clear and the ‘is’ of is anybody thats high 4: the way he finishes notes and he just sounds to emotional 5: the wavING is so nice to hear 6: his voice is kinda different from the others but the high woah is amazing 7: recording is bad but his lower notes are amazing 8: again, low notes sound so nice 9: his ‘is anybody’ just sounds,,, so nice 10: the e m ø t i ø n 11: again,,, ew the recording but damn that high woah 12: ‘can anybody see’ is clear and so are the high notes,,, not at all strained 13: 14: the way he approached the lower notes and idk it sounds so nice 15: those higher notes are amazing damn 16: maybe its just the recording but he sounds so nice and the ‘waving’ is really nice 17: the waving is and high notes in general wow 18: he sounds so emotional and its amazing and the low notes and the high ‘waving’ is so good 19: damn that emotion and the lower notes 20: his voice is just so incredible

My three faves in no particular order: Ben Levi Ross Ben Platt Jordan Fisher

My heart will always belong to Ben Platt, however Ben Levi Ross absolutely SMASHED that

Many people are saying Jordan Fisher and yes, he is AMAZING, but I can’t get used to him as Evan because he just seems too.. cool? I don’t know how to explain it, but I see him as someone who would be in the popular kids group or something, rather than an anxious teen. I can’t judge though, as I haven’t seen him live and I’ve only seen short clips of him as Evan. Maybe I’m just seeing Jordan instead of Evan, Haha, I don’t know. He is definitely INSANELY talented though and I wish I could see him perform!

Ahhh I’ve only really ever heard Ben Platt but DAMN all of these guys are so good! How in the world can so much talent exist?

My faves - Ben, Noah G, Ben, Andrew, David J, MARCUS (my absolute fave), Jordan!

ben levi ross/taylor trensch are THE evans for me. something about both of their neuroticism scream EVAN HANSEN to me

Got to see Sam Primack play Evan (with Noah Kieserman as Connor) for my birthday a month before the pandemic shut down everything. So so grateful for that. They’re all phenomenal!

i just saw sam primack live, and he was...so, so, so good. his emotion tied to the character is absolutely insane.

Ngl Evan was the best, but Evan was also really good, you know Evan was actually my favorite.

When I saw Dear Evan Hansen, Stephen Christopher Anthony was Evan Hansen, but Noah Kieserman and Matthew Edward Kemp we’re also in the show. It was a great show and all of them are great singers. We were also in the front row sense we won the lottery for it.

Platt, Galvin, and Fisher are my favorites.

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

Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Ben Levi Ross, Sam Tutty, and Jordan Fisher to me sound very strong both in the lower notes and the flip to the high belts. Everyone else sounds slightly screechy or very thin or hits a wrong note. But props to all of the Evans!!! That 'is' can be hard to hit right

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

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

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

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.

The Evan’s be like: 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏾🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🧑🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🧑🏻🧑🏽

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

Ok but y’all sleepin on Marcus

Marcus Harman is SO underrated

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

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

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

Platt and Fisher will forever be my favorite Evan’s

IM SORRY Y’ALL ARE SLEEPING ON MY MAN JORDAN, MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR AND MY WEAVE IS SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA WITH CADY.

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

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

coming back to this video to say i saw marcus harman in deh west end yesterday and he was just amazing, especially at the high and/or sustained notes, they were SO clear

Noah Galvin and Zachary Piser both deserve more attention.

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 🤷‍♂

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

HOLY FUCK BEN LEVI ROSS. DID NOT EXPECT THAT.

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

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

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

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!

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!!

david jeffery is my favorite, absolute best evan

y’all are sleeping on sam, i saw him live and he is phenomenal, i had chills like the whole show

Ben Platt will always be my number 1. I can't imagine anyone else playing Evan💝

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

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

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

no one seems to be showing love for Noah Kieserman and it makes me ✨sad✨ because hes so good!!!
