"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I am worried about the show after he leaves as his performance is the show stopper. As much as I loved seeing Colton he didn't have the range for some of the tougher songs with heavy emotions.
Hopefully Ben takes a long vacation before deciding what his next venture will be
EDIT: I wonder if I should just grab a ticket off stubhub now for the last performance
Nothing like buying tickets on Stub Hub and watching the prices go up exponentially (and tickets disappearing) while you're buying. Lord have mercy! LOL
Dang! missing him by 7 days! i'm seeing the show the 25th. really hoping the replacement is Micheal Lee Brown!! or someone new we haven't heard of yet. i'm not too disappointed, hopefully the ready of the cast won't leave at the same time. (i'm a massive Mike Faist fan so i'm crossing my fingers he'll be there when i go)

I just bought a ticket for his last show, I got it on StubHub before they started upping the prices because I know that will happen. I don't even care about the view of the seat honestly. Just being able to be in the room for his last performance is worth it for me.

Yes! While I was buying they were going up and flying out of my cart. Wow. I saw them for $300 when I logged on. Now the lowest is $600.
It's crazy! I don't know if these sellers are serious but they have $4,000 tickets up.
It seems we will get a new Evan, and it will not be Colton or Michael replacing him, as it says this in the website "Ben Platt will play his final performance as Evan Hansen on Sunday, November 19. He will also be out of performances August 10-16, the 3pm performance on September 3, and the 8pm performance on September 6. Michael Lee Brown and Colton Ryan will continue to understudy the role of Evan Hansen and new casting will be announced soon."

He isn't above the title.

Cheapest ticket on Stubhub for that date is $700 all the way up to $4,860.00. And telecharge will not even load on my computer. I wonder if it's related?
