VIDEO: Hear Andrew Barth Feldman Sing 'For Forever' and 'Waving Through a Window'
By: Kaitlin Milligan
Last night, NBC's Joe Fryer sat down to interview Andrew Barth Feldman, the new star of Broadway's hit musical "Dear Evan Hansen." At 16-years-old, Feldman is the show's youngest star. Feldman talked about how lucky he feels to be trusted with performing at such a young age, something that has never really been done before.
16-year-old Feldman was asked to audition for "Dear Evan Hansen" after winning Best Actor at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards last year. Until now, the Tony-winning show's lead role had only been played by guys in their 20s.
Watch the interview and listen to him sing below!
The winner of six 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson, a score by Academy Award and Tony winning composers Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, and direction by 4-time Tony® Award nominee Michael Greif. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, produced by Atlantic Records, was released in February 2017, making an extraordinary debut on the Billboard 200 and entering the chart at #8 - the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961.
Dear Evan Hansen opened at the Music Box Theatre to rave reviews on December 4, 2016, where it's broken all box office records and has struck a chord with critics and audiences alike.
In addition to winning six Tony awards, Dear Evan Hansen has won numerous other awards, including the 2017 Drama League Award for Outstanding Musical Production and for the off-Broadway production, two Obie Awards, a Drama Desk Award, and two Outer Critics Circle Awards and two Helen Hayes Awards.
