Dear Evan Hansen Cover Group (Any Gender)
Rexphter for Evan Hansen
Evan Hansen is a very sensative and nervous character with very strong social anxiety and a smattering of other issues, making him a hard character to pull off. I want to hear emotion and meaning come through these words and these notes, whether you're trying to replicate the original or not, I want to feel what he's feeling. As I am doing with all of the characters in this project, Evan may be played by a man or a woman, whichever gives me the performance I feel worthy will get the role. We will be multi-casting Evan to multiple voice actors so no one voice actor in the group gets too many solos. We will have an Evan for each solo or song that features him that we end up doing: Waving Through a Window, For Forever, Break in a Glove, If I Could Tell Her, Sincerely Me, Disappear, and Words Fail.
(Frustrated and a little embarrassed. That sort of red faced angst that you get when someone pushes your buttons in the worst way.) 'Why would you write that!? This has to be perfect, these Emails have to prove we were actually friends! Here, I'll do it."
*Sing the beginning of You Will Be Found*
"Have you ever felt like nobody was there,
have you ever felt forgotten, in the middle of nowhere
have you ever felt like you could disappear
Like you could fall, and no one would hear.
Well, let that lonely feeling was away,
maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay,
and when you don't feel strong enough to stand,
You can reach, reach out your hand."*Belt the ending of Waving Through a Window*
"On the outside always looking in will I,
ever be more than I've always been
cause' I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass,
waving through a window-oh I,
try to speak but nobody can hear so I,wait around for an answer to appearwhile I'm watch-watch-watching people pass,waving through the window-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at meis anybody wavingwavingwavingwooooah-ooooooh0h-0h-0h-0h"
