it’s so hard being a theatre kid and trying to explain that ben platt is genuinely so talented and he was great in dear evan hansen on broadway but he was nepo babied into the role in the movie when he did not deserve it and now that’s how people know his name

#also the movie was so bad but that’s beside the point #also dear evan hansen in general does not deserve the praise it gets bc the musical itself is extremely mid #but again. not the point #the point is that ben platt is a good singer and actor in roles that he deserves #he was sobbing his eyes out onstage 8 times a week in deh while singing the most difficult song in the show #but onstage talent does not always translate to onscreen talent #anyways i saw him in parade last year and he was fucking amazing #because he was playing an adult in a role that he was fit for onstage #anyways rhats my white boy rant of the day #i need to do more theatre discourse on tumblr i have so many opinions
