Dear Evan Hansen

Dear Evan Hansen

Project Overview

Ever since I first saw Dear Evan Hansen I wanted to create a way for everyone, no matter how much money they have or where they live, to be able to experience this amazing musical without watching a bootleg or just listening to the songs which can be very confusing if you start listening to it without knowing anything about it beforehand. 

So, I thought a good way to do this would be to find a copy of the script, have voice actors/singers act out the monologues and sing the songs and then have artists do animatics/animations to go along with it. This way everyone could get to experience the musical and be able to understand it without having to know what it's about beforehand and get to do so without having to watch a shaky recording with awful quality filmed on someone's phone.

You also don't have to sound exactly like the characters, just keep in mind that you're going to have to be able to sing in their voice range.

So please audition, join me on this journey and help me make my vision a reality!

I also have to warn you that there is quite a bit of swearing (and a lot of sexual comments from Jared) in this, so if you're not comfortable with that you should not audition!

It would also be good if you have Discord cause I will create a channel where I will post information and updates once the casting is done.

Company and minor characters

Unpaid

If you want to be a part of the company and have a few minor roles than you should definitely audition! Even if you want a bigger part in the project you could still audition here so you're guaranteed at least some part of the project if you don't get any other roles. (Everyone that auditions for this role will be part of the company and depending on how many people audition most of you will probably get a line for a minor character since there are quite a few of those)

  • Sing a bit of the company's part in "You Will Be Found"

  • Say any lines you want, either from the show or from somewhere else.
