I am going to New York in early January and seeing Dear Evan Hansen, and I'm pretty sure that most original cast of won't be there. While I'm sad I won't see them perform, I do love the understudies! Does anyone know if Colton or Michael Lee will be taking Ben's place for good when he's gone? 

Thanks!

In the thread talking about this, they are bringing in a new Evan. Still not announced.

This board will most definitely blow up whenever new casting is announced, so sit tight. I'm hoping they replace him with one of the original understudies, as they've had the most prep time of anyone. But we'll see. We also have the national tour casting to consider.

As I've mentioned twice now, they're bringing in someone new to replace Ben. Should be announced soon.

Like him or hate him, Liza does almost always know what he's talking about.
