Dear Evan Hansen Cover Group (Any Gender)
Twitchstar3231 for Heidi Hansen
Heidi is the struggling mother of Evan, she is doing her best to give him everything he needs emotionally and maternally while still working a full time job as a nurse just to make ends meet and provide the best quality of living she can for her son. Her husband left when Evan was young, leaving her an only parent of a child who is struggling with many issues of his own, and it's difficult for her to connect to her son. We need someone who can sound like the happy parent figure and then switch to that emotional anger during Good For You. When she learns what Evan did, she doesn't take it as sadness and get hurt, no, she gets pissed, as I think anyone would do.
(That sort of encouraging enthusiasm you get from moms that always sounds a little forced, but she really is trying) "Have you been writing those letters to yourself? 'Dear Evan Hansen, this is gonna be a good day and here's why'? Those letters are important honey! They're gonna help you! Build your confidence!"
*Sing the beginning verse and chorus from Anybody Have a Map*
"Can we try to have an optimistic outlook, huh?Can we buck up just enough to see the world isn't gonna fall apart,maybe this year we decide,we're not giving up before we've tried,this year we make a new start.Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook,'another stumble as I'm reaching for the right thing to say,I'm kinda coming up empty, can't find my way to you.Does anybody have a map, anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?I don't know if you can tell but this is me just pretending to know,so where's the map? I need a clue,cause' the scary truth is, I'm flying blind and I'm making this up as I go."*Sing the beginning verse and chorus of Good For You*"So you found a place where the grass is greener,and you jumped the fence to the other side,is it good, are they giving you a world I could never proivide?Well I hope you're proud of your big decision, yeah I hope that it's all that you want and more,now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before.So you say what you need to say, so that you get to walk away,it would kill you to have to stay trapped when you have something new,well I'm sorry I had it rough, and I'm sorry I'm not enough,thank god they rescued you.So you got what you always wanted, so you got your dream come truegood for you,good for you, you, yougot a taste of a life so perfect, so you did what you had to do,good for yougood for you."
