@@christopherrussell6055 They also took out Disappear which was arguably the actual turning point where Evan was finally willing to do the Connor Project. I still don't understand why they did that to this day :) Somehow they took that out and gave us Anonymous Ones instead - which is a lovely score, I admit, and I guess they think it served the purpose Disappear did in the musical.

God damn, that boy can sing.

Ben Platt had to train to sing this while crying. Lots of mucus in his throat. Think about that.

Ben Platt is so freaking talented, I saw him in concert once and he expressed so much emotion throughout his own songs. This musical is one of the best I’ve seen and he will always be the original Evan. God, I cry every single time I watch this and even sing it. He is one of the reasons I am where I am musically right now, he inspired me so much to be who I am and to believe in myself. I love him.

The pain in his voice 😭🥺

I hate that I never got to see him on stage. My Evan is the current touring Evan. It is an absolute great show!

A virtuoso performance in one of the Great American musicals. I know we're supposed to dislike bootlegging, but until the stiffs who put on these shows understand how important it is to our culture that we record, keep, and treasure these performances and be able to let them out to the world so that others can be inspired by them, I guess we have no other choice but to depend on bootlegging.

Having only listened to "waving through a window" I really thought this was going to be a good musical, but it's really awful. Like, it gives harmful implications on mental health. like im popular now, I don't need my pills anymore, and oh I suspected you were lying because it seemed he was getting better also the homophobic jokes sure aren't great

@@cobaltblu4196 Based very loosely on something that actually happened, it is a tough story. Bullying, depression, social anxiety, suicide, family disintegration, deception is pretty rough recipe for a musical. Yet through the wreckage there are the underlying messages that everyone is important, family love is still powerful, and it is possible to find oneself, make sense and move to a better emotional place.

​@@LKeithG "everyone's important" you know... except for Connor Murphy right? the dead guy! why did he do it? doesn't matter because here comes Evan to rewrite his past! to wash over his problems and hardships. "family love is still powerful" The Family chose not to reveal that it was all lies, that town still believes all the fake stories Evan told. and his own mother? oh he starts drifting from her for his new shiny family! "and it is possible to find oneself, make sense and move to a better emotional place" yes, find your true self, the one that rewrites the story of a dude who committed suicide, and continue living the lie. nah man. the music is good. but this story isn't.

@@cobaltblu4196 I'm guessing you might find this response unsatisfying, but the play does talk about enough of Connor's backstory to give reference points about his behavior. The fact is that this is Evan's story and relatively short narrative works must have a focus and a movement toward an end point that precludes going off into other interesting side trips. All staged productions just like all film and written work leaves information on "the cutting room floor. The general public doesn't know what songs or scenes or bits of dialogue that might have given you more satisfaction were cut for something as prosaic as shortening the runtime to keep the audience from becoming fidgety and losing their focus.

Oh Evan. You always wanted to make others feel better even at the expense of yourself. Just because you were already hurting doesn't justify adding more pain. The people around you didn't like that, so step into the sun. If today you are you, then that's all that matters.

They are told to do that in some companies. If they spot a camera then some tell them if it doesn’t disrupt their performance to stare right in the direction of the camera so the usher will know there is one in that area, see it and go take it. Ensemble members are the best for this because they aren’t the main focus and can really stare them down.
