Sincerely Me - Michael Lee Brown, Mike Faist, Will Roland (Dear Evan Hansen)

[BeyondBaito]

You know its kinda upsetting that the version of Conner the audience falls inlove with isn't even real. Like he's not Conner, he's what Evan and Jared think Conner would be like.

If you didn’t appreciate Mike Faist as his Connor then you don’t deserve Mike Faist as his Riff

[sianjns]

The love I have for Mike Faist is unmatched

[Ozloz]

Can we give props to all the actors for actually giving them romantic tension in the “our friendship goes beyond” line

[theoriginalantizoo]

“THERES NOTHING UNREALISTIC ABOUT THE LOVE ONE MAN FEELS FOR ANOTHER”


Facts.

[mdcstr]

watched challengers and giggled cuz it all comes full circle for me

[solace_singz]

I love Connor and Evan doing the same actions during the first chorus 😭😭 like it shows how much he's actually controlling the stuff he does and says

[Father_of_Death]

I seriously would like to see Mike Faist as JD in a remake of Heathers

[amry]

blows my mind that mike faist has now worked with steven spielberg and luca guadagnino with zendaya

[chrisbetancourt]

everybody's talking about how much of a national treasure Mike is but can we just appreciate the guy who plays Jerry and how chaotic neutral he is and that I kind of love him for it

[katiee]

I didn’t notice until now that Mike puts love in air quotes during the song

[tiamoyerole]

Mike Faist is pure gold.. His Riff is a scene stealing role forever.

Normally, in Broadway musicals when you end up with an actor originating a role as pivotal and unique as Evan, and its a once or twice in a generation connection of talent and character, as we saw with Platt, it becomes virtually impossible for anyone else to succeed in making the role theirs until a revival comes along 5, 10 or even 20 years down the road. How long did it take to find another "Mama Rose' other than Ethel Merman, or 'Tevye' other than Zero Mostel? Sometimes the role becomes so identified for so long, its impossible to shake. There still is no other King of Siam but Yul Brynner, or Dolly Levy other than Carol Channing. And it has absolutely nothing to do with any lack of ability or talent by the dozen or so actors that follow. You see that Brown here, he is trying to walk that fine line between keeping what worked for Platt, Faist and Roland in this number and trying for baby steps to make the role his own. Its clearly working. He's getting the laughs and he's got the audience with him. That's success right there!

I like how Mike in the first few lines just spews out words with no emotion 💀 (and yes I know that’s how it’s supposed to be, I just think it’s funny lol)

Omg at 3:53 when Evan and Connor are just like vibin and Jared just kinda stands there for a few seconds and makes a reaction is GOLD

And I like this Evan very much! I think his performance was amazing!!

Mike Faust skipping around a stage is the greatest thing we never knew we needed

[rad]

i really went from memorizing this entire song without knowing anything about this musical to watching challengers in the theater for mike faist...

[heatherknox]

Can someone write a musical where Mike Faist is actually alive at the end…? Is that too much to ask?!?!

[meatymaggot]

Man everytime I see this part in the musical it makes me so happy until you realize the whole love for Conner is for a Conner that never even existed, it bums me out but I will forever appreciate this performance! And man Jared's laugh at 0:28 is gold

you know, I did the math, and it's been a month since I discovered Dear Evan Hansen. It was the second musical I even watched. Since discovering it I have:

-Watched every possible movie with Mike Faist in it

-Watched the recording of Be More Chill with Will Roland as Jeremy

-Listened to the music of DEH on loop

-Listened to the audiobook

-Gotten and obsession with pretty much every character here

-Made fanart

-And gotten tickets to see the actual show in May of next year, which I will have to take a plane to go see because I live nowhere near englad

[TheHManShow]

Michael Lee Brown and Mike Faist’s voices blend very well!
