    Insecure? He has like crippling anxiety

  • @history_lover63

    Can we please just stop introducing Evan Hanson as 'an insecure teen". The whole point of the musical is to prove how hard it is to live with social anxiety and having others misunderstand it??

      Grace Ericson public broadcasting can't label medical diseases. This is why instead of saying "someone with autism" they say "someone who faces challenges/troubles"

    I want him to win an Tony so bad. Most people who depict anxiety over act to much and someone makes me sad but Evan does it so well and with some like words fail and waving through a window as someone with anxiety this is a very important show and character for me ☺

    Thanks to Dear Evan Hansen I opened up to my mum about my suicidal thoughts and my anxiety and depression, we've been having in depth conversations about it lately and it's all thanks to my relatability of the character of Evan that helped me open up and get the hep I needed to not feel so lonely and invisible like Evan did so I hope to God above that Ben wins the Tony for such a raw and real portray of a teenager with Anxiety and Depression

    0:30 the full letter Evan wrote to himself below:
    Dear Evan Hansen,
    Turns out this wasn’t an amazing day after all. This isn’t going to be an amazing week or an amazing year, because why would it be?
    I know, because there’s Zoe, and all my hope is pinned on Zoe, who I don’t even know, and doesn’t know me. Maybe if I could just talk to her. Maybe nothing would be different at all. I wish everything was different.
    I wish I was part of something. I wish that anything I said mattered to anyone. I mean face it, would anyone notice if I just disappeared tomorrow?
    Sincerely,
    Your most best, and dearest friend, Me
    Ahhh he addressed himself as his "bestest friend", so sad... ;_;

      Hannah Bickford I'm sixteen and I waited in front of the box office for this show and payed $189 of my own money for one ticket and it was row F in orchestra. If teenagers are driven enough they can afford to see this show, and it's definitely worth it!

      Hannah Bickford Broadway is just the beginning. There's a national tour next year and before too long high school, college and community theaters will be performing Dear Evan Hansen. A film version will likely be made at some point. The impact it will have on teens and their families is just barely starting.
