Broadway favorite Aaron Tveit may be tapping into some scary villain energy for 2024 with his upcoming run in the Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, but he ended 2023 channeling his "Kenergy" for a now-viral performance of "I'm Just Ken" from Greta Gerwig's acclaimed Barbie film.
The song was a set list surprise for Tveit's New Year's Eve 54 Below concert December 31, where attendees had the opportunity to ring in the new year with the Tony winner.
See a clip of Tveit performing "I'm Just Ken" in the TikTok below.
@tveit_on_the_brain Aaron Tveit sang I’m Just Ken from the Barbie Movie and it was the best surprise at his New Year’s Eve concert tonight. What a night! I met the 2 nicest people tonight and they shared this with me when my phone stopped recording. I loved every second and can’t believe my good fortune #aarontveit #imjustken #thebarbiemovie ♬ original sound - Lisa| Aaron Tveit Fan Account
