Watch Taylor Trensch and Telly Leung Sing ’Who Will Love Me As I Am?’ at Broadway Backwards

Taylor Trensch and Telly Leung, who currently star in the title roles of, respectively, Dear Evan Hansen and Aladdin, were among the numerous stage and screen stars who performed at the April 2 Broadway Backwards benefit—which allows performers a chance to defy gender norms by singing a number they traditionally would not have the opportunity to—at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

In the video above, the two actors deliver a powerful version of Henry Krieger and Bill Russell’s Side Show anthem, “Who Will Love Me As I Am?” The song is performed in the musical by conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, the roles originally created on Broadway by Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley.
