Dear Evan Hansen: Genderbent
Project Overview
Hi! I am IvoryArts and I'll be directing this project. I've wanted to do a genderbent musical for a while and one of my friends decided to do a BMC musical which inspired this. This will be going on YouTube under this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrdNIDG3s_OocsG8BGxCm5A?disable_polymer=true

The lead character. A socially anxious girl without many friends, if any at all.
On the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I've always been?'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glassWaving through a windowI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I'm watch, watch, watching people passWaving through a window, ohCan anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohNo, I'd rather pretend I'm something better thanThese broken partsPretend I'm something other thanThis mess that I am'Cause then I don't have to look at itAnd no one gets to look at itNo, no one can really see'Cause I've learned to slam on the brakeBefore I even turn the keyBefore I make the mistakeBefore I lead with the worst of meI never let them see the worst of me
Other lead. Commits suicide after the first song and what we hear from them is just Jamie and Emma putting words in her mouth or a hallucination of Emma's,
Well anyway!I'm getting better every day!We're getting better every day!Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!'Cause all that it takes is a little reinventionIt's easy to change if you give it your attention!All you gotta doIs just believe you can be who you wanna be.SincerelyMiss you dearlySincerely meSincerely meSincerely meSincerely me
Think of the people who need to knowSo you need to show themThat no one deserves to be forgottenNo one deserves to fade awayNo one should flicker out or have any doubt that it mattersThat they are hereNo one deservesTo disappearTo disappearDisappear
When you're falling in a forestAnd there's nobody aroundAll you want is for somebody to find youWhen you're falling in a forestAnd when you hit the groundAll you need is for somebody to find you
Emma's love interest and Cana's younger brother. Outgoing, attractive, a paragon of life except in her familial relationships.
Why should I play the grieving boy andLie saying that I miss youAnd that my world has gone dark without your lightI will sing no requiem tonight'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weepNo one lights a candle to rememberNo, no one mourns at allWhen they lay them down to sleepSo, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and whiteAfter all you put me throughDon't say it wasn't trueThat you were not the monsterThat I knewIt's not so impossible'Cause you're saying it's possibleWe can just watch the whole world disappear'Til you're the only one I still know how to see(skip)And what came before won't count anymoreWe can try thatYou and meThat's all that we need it to beAnd the rest of the world falls away
Emma's "best friend" though they claim that they're paid to be so. Helps Emma write the emails.
Kinky

Cana's father. Paid little attention to him while he was alive but is the most effected Murphy. (They do not get a name because it is never said, if you want to think of a name go ahead)
Does anybody have a map?Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?I don't know if you can tellBut this is me just pretending to know...I need a clue'Cause the scary truth isI'm flying blindI'm flying blindAnd I'm making this up as I goAs I go
I hear your voice, I feel you nearWithin these words, I finally find youAnd now that I know that you are still hereI will sing no requiem tonight
I will sing no requiemOh-ohOh
Emma's father. A single, overworked parent who is trying their best.
Anybody have a map?
-happen to know how the hell to do this?I don't know if you can tellBut this is me just pretending to knowSo where's the map?...'Cause the scary truth isI'm flying blindI'm flying—I'm flying blindAnd I'm making this up as I goAs I goAnd you say what you need to saySo that you get to walk awayIt would kill you to have to stay trappedWhen you've got something newWell I'm sorry you had it roughAnd I'm sorry I'm not enoughThank God they rescued you
So you got what you always wantedSo you got your dream come trueGood for youGood for you, you, youGot a taste of a life so perfectSo you did what you had to doGood for youGood for youAnd the house felt so big, and I felt so smallThe house felt so big, and I—And I knew there would be moments that I'd missAnd I knew there would be space I couldn't fillAnd I knew I'd come up short a billion different waysAnd I didAnd I doAnd I will
Cana's mother. Distant and believes that Cana's suicide was selfish and unwarranted.
I gave you the world, you threw it awayLeaving these broken pieces behind youEverything wasted, nothing to saySo I can sing no requiem
I will sing no requiem...Oh-ohOh
Even when everyone around you thinks you're crazyEven when everyone around you lets things goAnd whether you're prepping for some testOr you're miles from some goalOr you're just trying to do what's bestFor a kid who's lost control
You do the hard thing'Cause that's the right thingYeah, that's the right thing
Emma's acquaintance. Valedictorian, student president, probably voted most likely to lead the free world.
There's a place where we don't have to feel unknownAnd every time that you call out, you're a little less alone...From across the silenceYour voice is heard
Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?Do you even care that you might be wrong?Was it fun?Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along...Well I guess if I'm not of useGo ahead, you can cut me looseGo ahead now, I won't mind
So you got what you always wantedSo you got your dream come trueGood for youGood for you, you, youGot a taste of a life so perfectNow you say that you're someone newGood for youGood for youGood for youGood for you
Even when the dark comes crashing throughWhen you need a friend to carry youWhen you’re broken on the groundYou will be foundSo let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise againIf you only look aroundYou will be foundYou will be foundYou will be foundOut of the shadowsThe morning is breakingAnd all is new, all is newIt's filling up the emptyAnd suddenly I see thatAll is new, all is newYou are not aloneYou are not aloneYou are not aloneYou are not alone
