The Moms of Broadway: Spotlight on Heidi Hansen

As Mother's Day approaches, we've got matriarchs on our mind. Some of Broadway's most iconic characters are moms- bold and brave, loving and nurturing- and we think they deserve an ovation. We're celebrating Broadway's most beloved maternal figures.

Meet the Mom:

In Dear Evan Hansen, while Evan is being weighed down by his own complicated deception, Heidi is always there to lift him up. As a single, working mom, Heidi recognizes that she doesn't have all the answers, but she does her best to help her son to navigate his social anxieties nonetheless.

Most Motherly Musical Moments:

"Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
No matter what
I'll be here
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
'Til it all feels so small"

"Does anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know
So where's the map?
I need a clue
'Cause the scary truth is
I'm flying blind
And I'm making this up as I go"
