i don't care how good Ben Platt is, he shouldn't have been Evan in the movie, he was in his 20s but i would've believed you if you told me he was 36, he's an amazing actor and good on stage but for a 17 year old boy on screen, he doesn't work 😭

#everyone i ask thinks Anthony Norman is at least 16 though so personally i think if they were to do a remake or something to try and get-#-people to watch that Anthony should be cast as Evan #newmsies #dear evan hansen #deh movie #ben platt #anthony norman #dear evan hansen the musical

41 and 12 for the ask game?

41. What are some lines from musicals you really like?

Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of not being truly alive. You don’t need to live forever, you just need to live - tuck everlasting

To the world we dream about, and the one we live in now - hadestown

You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right - into the woods

How can you soar when you're nailed to the floor? - tick tick boom

But when you’re gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story? - hamilton

12. Worst stage to screen adaptation?

Short answer: Dear Evan Hansen, no one asked for a movie why didn’t they give us a proshot with the obc

Long answer:

Oh boy, ohhhhhh boy *crack knuckles*

It has to be Dear fucking Evan Hansen. For a show that has the og team in the writing room I don’t know how on the fucking earth they missed the whole story completely.

They did not realize the original plot has already walked on the edge of That Is Fucked Up and was on thin ice from falling into the Problematic Cringe Theatre Hell. They were like oh it’ll be fineeeee we can totally remove these import parts and it’ll be fineeeeee. Like bro. BRO.

A huge part of the story relies on a) Evan’s connection towards Connor, and b) The story acknowledges how Not Okay Evan’s actions are. And what did they do? Butcher the script until it highlights the worst possible part of the story. I don’t even give a flying fuck about Ben Platt being too old for the role or whatever, I can’t tell people’s age anyway, but not even the most talented and 17-years-old actor can save that monstrosity of a script, and that’s the same guy that wrote the musical one! Like how👏did👏you👏not👏see👏it👏

The thing that motivated Evan to do all the stuff in the story is that he saw himself in Connor, and you can see a lot of his action was based on “What if I’m the one that was dead, what would I want people to do”. You got Anybody Have a Map, Disappear, and ghost Connor, you cut those, you cut the connections between the two characters and Evan’s inner struggles. And they made Alana the one to suggest a Connor Project as an attempt to make Evan looked more blameless in the whole ordeal. I can’t believe I need to spell it out but it did😑not😑work😑like😑that😑, you just make Alana looked manipulative, and the whole thing can be avoided if you didn’t cut Disappear. And there are Jared and Good For You, without someone that is boinking Evan on the head like “Dude please stop”, it just looks like the story is excusing his actions.

In conclusion, they thought it’ll work better if they make Evan more out of control of his situation and overall more “Opps shit happened around me and I just went along with it”, I saw a post somewhere that said that making the character directly responsible to the thing that happened makes them more sympathetic (or smt) and it applied to this situation so much. In the musical we see a teenager that make terrible decisions as an attempt to make things better, but in the movie we just see an opportunist that is manipulative and did all of the stuff to get into a girl’s pants

One of the most underrated parts of the DEH movie is that instrumental break after the first chorus of YWBF where they keep cutting to random kids from school watching Evan's video, and all the actors are trying to show how Profound the video is and how Moved they are by sighing and biting their lips and nodding to themselves. And that's funny enough on its own, but then they immediately cut to "His Best Friend Died...You Won't Believe What He Did Next!"

Okay so I've never seen the Dear Evan Hansen movie but it's version of Words Fail came up on one of my Spotify mixes and...

Why does he sound like a robot? Why is he so unbelievably autotuned?

Ben Platt can sing, I know he can, but this sounds like some actor chosen because they can kinda sing and then autotuned to sound like Ben Platt.

This is uncomfortable to listen to omg, but I am now fascinated by how bad this is

You can listen to any 5-30 second clip of Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 and it would beat the entirety of the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack every single time.

#musicals #broadway #great comet #dear evan hansen #malloysicals #npatgco1812 #natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 #ghost quartet #2017 tonys #id literally prefer to hear anatole sing about feet than listen to DEH #deh musical #deh movie

no cause Nik Dodani was the EXACT person I was expecting to play Jared in the Dear Evan Hansen movie... but there was no reason to make him utterly useless- I love Jared and I love Nik's acting but considering they cut out a pretty CRUCIAL song (good for you) Jared was diluted to be the annoying mean family friend- really wasted that casting opportunity just saying

#okay but that part before sincerely me when they're on the track #funny #but other than that #....#THEY CUT OUT THE 'what are you? an acorn'#ISHBDDBBD #I DO NOT CARE THAT THE MOVIE CAME OUT IN 2021 #JARED KALWANI NEEDS HIS REP OJAY #jared kalwani #jared kleinman #nik dodani #dear evan hansen #deh #dear evan hansen movie #deh movie

Even though Diva panned the Dear Evan Hansen movie, I can't help but feel grateful to her for introducing me to such a wonderful new fandom.

remember how stephen chbosky said he added evan’s public confession to the deh movie because he kept imagining evan at his 10-year class reunion still claiming he’d been friends with connor? his first mistake was imagining evan attending his 10-year class reunion

#those things aren't mandatory! he could just not go and he would probably choose not to go!#dear evan hansen #deh movie

alright so I don't kin evan hansen (for obvious reasons, personality wise though, maybe, but I dunno) but I think it's hilarious that every week during the 2021-2022 school year I wore the same red stripped polo (?) shirt and I only talked to the same two people almost the whole year IJSJSJSS

also an honourable mention from the deh movie:
