Get ready for an epic performance
Her segment is coming up. It's 9:13 p.m. CST.
I am going to crack whoever is holding this camera in the head, but she sounded amazing.
Why is she yelling??
Because that’s how she performed it almost 40 years ago on Broadway. She recorded the American Premiere cast album differently than how she actually performed/sang the role on the actual stage singing up to the balcony level.
What a stunning performance. Platt wasnt bad eithet.
and here is her original performance at the Grammy's
It was well worth the wait.
Platt forgot to actually perform but sounded fine. Don’t really see the “it” factor.
Lupone brought it! Those tears! That belt!! Loved it.

Patti sounded amazing! Ben sounded & looked very nervous.
I like Ben Platt and think he is very talented but felt like he was performing the song as Evan Hansen. It just didn’t do it for me, especially on the heels of watching Tveit perform a few WSS numbers a few weeks ago at the Lincoln Center special.
Patti’s performance was fantastic, but the tone and pace of that song brought the momentum of the show to a screeching halt.
Ben did seem nervous but I loved the arrangement and he sang it well. I will admit I was really skeptical about him singing the song.

And was that the original key? I think it was. I may be wrong.
Twitter is freaking out over her performance, and she’s been a top trend.
Platt seemed out of his element.
Patti was amazing. I got chills watching that. Just brilliant. Absolutely fantastic.

Harvey Fierstein said it best just now in his tweet. In a room full of pop star millionaires, two Broadway performers blew the roof off MSG.
Platt seemed very nervous at the start (how could you not be!). His vibrato was distracting to me. But by the middle of the song, he hit his stride and finished strong. That standing O should not be under-appreciated.
Patti was.. wow. I've never been a huge Patti fan, but she just delivered a masteclass in how to perform a legendary song on music's biggest night in a landmark venue. Her voice seems to only get stronger, and I have no doubt she could outsing just about anyone in that arena.
Brava, Patti. Brava.

She murdered it. I'm sitting here crying at her performance, and crying at how much everyone is loving it.
VIVA La LuPone!
