Lol at one of the composers of Dear Evan Hansen posting a long rambling post on Israel and Palestine, spending just a few sentences on the plight of the Palestinian people before spending the rest of it tone policing activists, arguing that the use of the term settler colonialism is inaccurate because Israel had the right to colonize Palestine and saying Israel has "valid concerns" about Palestinian freedom Hope I never have to hear another one of his shitty, derivative pop scores ever again Writing fuckass musical theatre songs about how no one should be alone but tiptoeing around acknowledging that the Israeli government is carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign I'd say where is your decency but you've pretty clearly proven you have none

i’m finally watching DEH 2021 and it’s not as bad as everyone has said, so far.
although in an attempt to be grounded it’s a little soul-less. there’s no colour or theatrics or movement. the music brings emotion but the editing and production design and lighting feels a little stock standard and bland. some of this might be because of the COVID. the sets are a little bare and empty but it’s also the colour choices. like the show is so vibrant (and blue) and the movie school sets are (too red) not.
to be clear, i am enjoying it though. Ben is not as old looking as i thought.

234 - Dear Evan Hansen
Tumblr media
To settle your post-Oscar hangover, we’re cracking open the Class of 2021 films this week and we’ve invited Muppeturgy co-host Adam Grosswirth to join us. Dear Evan Hansen follows a titular teen battling severe social anxiety, who fabricates a friendship with his bully after he dies by suicide, and faces the consequences of his lie when he goes viral. After emerging victorious from the 2017 Tonys with a Best Musical win and cementing star Ben Platt’s performance into theatre legend, the musical was destined for a whole other kind of THOB legend. Once the trailer dropped, skepticism and mockery of the near-30 Platt playing a teen went rampant, and vicious reviews made the film DOA.
This episode, we unpack the many problems inherent to the material and the attempts to soften them on film that only... make more problems. We also discuss the 2017 Tony season, Julianne Moore attempting the risk of a singing role, Amy Adams disappointing recent years, and the origins of the songwriting oeuvre of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
Topics also include The Politician, director Stephen Chbosky’s association to multiple failed movie musicals, and orchard confusion.

I'm a fan of lots of Pasek and Paul's songs, no matter the medium, but there's something about their songs for TV that just alter my brain chemistry. First Caught in The Storm and Rewrite this Story, now Look for the Light. When will I be free

So in Words Fail, Evan sings "Noone can really see-" and so on so forth.
And everyone points out simarlaities between Evan and Connor but what if Connor's one would be "Noone deserves to see-" because everyone already knows that Connor thought everyone was out to get him.
Evan hid so people didn't hate him and Connor hid so he didn't hate himself for being vulnerable

Today is Dear Evan Hansen's last day on Broadway and I have a lot of thoughts and feelings.
May 1, 2022 was a good day and here's why. On that day, I got to see Dear Evan Hansen on tour. I first found the show in 2017 when a couple of my favorite YouTubers started taking about it and covering some of the songs. I immediately knew that this was a show I had to see. I spent the next several years avoiding spoilers, and even the soundtrack, hoping that one day I could experience the show first-hand the way it was intended to be experienced—at the theater. Finally, after 5 long years of waiting, the show found me.
I will never forget the feeling. Sitting in a room with hundreds of strangers, all of us crying together, laughing together, feeling together. Hearing the words "you are not alone" and actually believing them, because the proof was right in front of me and right behind me and directly to my left and directly to my right. We all saw ourselves on that stage that day. All of us. And we were anything but alone. It was magical. A picture perfect afternoon.
I have never connected so deeply to a piece of art before. Ever. Dear Evan Hansen has given me the language to express my most complex emotions. It taught me that I'm not the only one who slams on the brake before they even turn the key. It gave me hope that I could step into the sun. It convinced me that I still matter. And even when the dark comes crashing through or when I feel like letting go, Dear Evan Hansen is a constant reminder that I am me and that's enough.
Shows end all the time. I know that. But why is this one hitting me so hard? I've been thinking a lot about that and I think a big reason is because Dear Evan Hansen is not just a show that people enjoy. It is a show that saves lives, a show that heals people, a show that connects people, a show that helps us understand each other. I can't express how grateful I am to have gotten to experience it, and my heart hurts for those who may not ever have the chance to.
All this talk about endings, though, I think it's important to acknowledge that the memories aren't going anywhere. The memories are staying right here.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who made this show happen. The writers, the actors, the musicians, the crew, the fans—everyone. Dear Evan Hansen is one of the best gifts the world has ever received and I'm confident that its legacy will live on For Forever.
Sincerely, Me
