DEAR EVAN HANSEN, WE'VE BEEN WAY TOO OUT OF TOUCH

THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY AND IT SUCKS THAT WE DON'T TALK THAT MUCH

Star Soarin'!

real talk though I was a young teen who was very into dear evan hansen through all of high school and I had the basic "complex anti hero" view on evan but then the first time I heard a full audio bootleg with andrew barth feldman I had such a strong "jesus christ That's A Child 😬" reaction that it completely changed my take on the whole show after already having been a fan of it for three years. when evan is played by an actor who actually is (or at least passes for) a teenager it stops being a dark comedy/drama and becomes a two hour slow burn psychological horror about the very real dangers of neglect.

→ "Henry Butash On The Making Of The Atlantic City Story With Broadway Stars Mike Faist And Jessica Hecht"

“I think where Mike’s so great is just, even when he’s not delivering dialogue, he’s just giving such a strong performance with his looks. You can always feel him thinking when you look at him—you can see him thinking. Which is sort of the mark of really good film acting, at least.”

we’re all alone in the dark

something i love about musical theatre is that there's no sequels. you go to the performance and that's it. it's brought to life in different ways, sure, it may have references to other properties, but you don't need to watch them. everything can be self-contained. and when We Live In A Society where everything gets a live-action remake, or a sequel, or is a part of a Cinematic Universe, or is a musical remake, the fact that you can just enjoy a musical without having to catch up on a bunch of other content is a relief.

Stimming isn't enough I need to be my special intrest

DEH character reference sheets I made :)

Featuring my personal headcanons!!

(I'll probably draw sheets for the other characters soon, but I wanted to start with Evan, Connor, and Zoe cuz they're my favorites)

Dear Evan Hansen: Jared we’ve gotta write more emails before the Murphys start questioning me!!!!!

Be More Chill: Okay Jeremy now hit the second tower

I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway

ngl idk which is funnier fandom baiting: people thinking michael is the main character of bmc or people thinking deh is about connor and evan being a gay couple

I am extremely aware that People's Takes On Fiction Are Not Necessarily The Same As Their Takes On Reality but I do sometimes want to gently take evan hansen haters by the hands and say "hey. poor mentally ill children sometimes do really bad things out of desperation and impaired judgement irl, too. do you think they should go to the gulag. question mark."

everything i ever did, i did it all for you.
