I think it is a general tragedy that anyone not into the original cast of a show is ignored, (not eligible ) when sometimes the second and third casts and even beyond boast strong actors that were chosen especially on how they fit the role, not for sheer star factor. As an example, Ben Platt gave an extraordinarily emotional performance in DEH, but acting can’t cover up the fact you are an adult playing a teenager. The current Evan, Andrew, gives such an emotional and heart w
I agree, although the jokes about secret gay email accounts may be slightly limited but I feel like that could be played with. Although since Connor would still be a male, it would sort of take away that aspect altogether . Maybe like a secret relationship email account? Then she could be like dude I’m gay.

Females as Understudies for Male Roles? Feb 24
2019, 08:14:11 PM
So I was watching a live stream from Andrew B Feldman (current Evan on DEH Broadway) and he was also with Gabi Carruba (Zoe and Alana U/S) and someone asked what her dream role she could never play was and she responded "Evan Hansen" but then Andrew said something like "Well you are 2nd u/s so who knows?" Does that mean that Gabi is the second understudy for Evan? I thought it didn't really make sense and I was missing something but it got me wondering if females were ever set as Understudies fo
I have a bad habit of doubting my own research, so I like to ask others for confirmation. Yeah we were planning to see it after it opened, when it went to one show on Sundays.
Be More Chill is uniquely teen centric, which I love. It is somewhat science fiction styled, and the sets are very flashy (in a good way) basically the stage has a lot of computer and electronic light up elements that really add to the show. It is certainly a modern musical, but so is DEH. If you have seen Dear Evan Hansen, then you should be okay with certain crude jokes or themes, but I feel like I should warn you of such content in Be More Chill. They mention weed, p*rn is ment
That’s completely understandable. I know some more established shows, such as DEH, have a couple shows where the understudies always perform, but this one has no such schedule. (DEH is undertstandable, because that role emotionally wrecks the actor everyday, so two shows a day is tough.) I was just curious if actors are more likely to take certain days off. As for stage door, I have heard that in general one show Sundays are better because the shows ends earlier and there isn
Just looking for advice on which day you think would be the best to see the show in terms of seeing Will Roland or other leads instead of undertstudies (No hate for understudies they are amazingly talented and must be incredible in order to be an understudy for any role on broadway, however, I do really want to see Will Roland and/or George Salazar perform for a number of reasons) Would Sunday Matinee be an okay shot for seeing stars? I know 2 shows days are more iffy for seeing s
