13/Becoming a Man [w/ lyrics]

Lyrics:
(from www.allmusicals... )
Evan:
Im Evan Goldman, I live at 224 West 92nd Street, in the heart of Manhattan. And my life just went to hell.
Picture me just another cool kid in NYC, near the park and the Met
Life is sweet, Yankees in the Bronx, pretzels on the street, just how good can it get?
Whod have guess Dad would meet a stewardess?
Moms depressed and her lawyers are mean
Now Im stressed, life is a disaster
And Im cracking from the strain, going totally insane
And Im just about to turn
Just about to turn
Just about to turn
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Everything switches
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Everything turns around
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
End up in stitches
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Find a way underground
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Can I get through it?
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Life has changed over night
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
How do I do it?
All:
Thirteen!
Evan:
Nothing is going right
All:
The best and the worst
And the most and the least
And the crazy and the scary
And Im standing on the edge!
Evan:
Twelve years old, everything that used to be as good as gold starts to crumble and crack
Evan with Others:
Pressure mounts, once it was a joke, now it really counts and theres no going back
All:
Life goes wrong
Boy:
Suddenly theyre yelling cause your hairs too long
Girl:
Or your room isnt clean
All:
Roll along
Evan:
Every conversation is another lost cause or a list of my flaws
And Im just about to turn
All:
Just about to turn
God, Im going to turn
Thirteen!
Richie:
I want a dirt bike
All:
Thirteen!
Lucy:
I want to kill my mom
All:
Thirteen!
Eddie:
I want a mustache!
All:
Thirteen!
Cassie:
I want a wonder bra
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
When do I get it?
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
All of the grown-up stuff?
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
How will I make it?
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
When am I old enough?
All:
Why is the world feeling totally stranger?
Why are my friends acting totally weird?
Why do I feel like my life is in danger?
Why do I feel like my brain disappeared?
Molly:
How can I get through a year of Spanish?
Simon:
How can I not look dumb in track?
Eric:
How can I gain 20 pounds by Friday?
Malcolm:
How can I make my voice not crack?
All:
I wanna fly, wanna run, wanna drive
Wanna get rich, wanna get drunk, wanna get out
Wanna get my braces off
Wanna get my nose pierced
Wanna grow my hair long
But all I keep hearing is
No, youre not ready!
No, its not time yet!
No, its not right now!
Wait until youre older!
No, youre not ready!
No, its not time yet!
No, its not right now!
Wait until youre older!
No, youre not ready!
No, its not time yet!
No, its not right now!
Wait until youre older!
Homework
Laundry
Dishes
Courses
Just settle down and hold your horses!
(Dance Break)
Evan:
In the middle of this city
In the middle of this street
Theres a sound of something crumbling,
Rumbling underneath my feet
In the middle of the sidewalk
Outside P.S. 84,
I hear a roar
I cant ignore
I hear Evan its not your fault
I hear Evan cant you see
I hear Evan do you want to go with Mom or stay with me?
I hear kiddo, Im not angry
I hear buddy, you know best
And theres the rumbling getting louder
But theres one day in October
Where the pieces all will fit
When they have to be together
And pretend they didnt quit
Ive got one day in October
And I know its got to be
The perfect party
Im becoming a man
I dont know what a man really means
The rule book grows, but no one knows
What all the rules allow
Im becoming a man
No one tells all the scared in-betweens
Just how we should be strong, be good
With so much pressure now
One day it gets better
One day it makes sense
One day Ill stop talking in the friggin future tense
One day in October
Itll all be great
And I cant wait
I cant wait
I cant wait
Others:
I cant wait to come to your party
I cant wait to come to your party
I cant wait to come to your party
I cant wait to come to your party
Party!
I cant wait
I cant wait
Cant wait
Cant wait
Cant wait
Cant wait
Cant wait
Cant wait for thirteen!
Group 2:
Something is coming
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
Something is going up
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
Something is humming
Group 1:
Thirteen!
Group 2:
Somebodys growing up!
All:
Thirteen!
Cassie:
Hey, yeahhh!
Eddie:
No, no, no, no, no, no
Malcolm:
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Charlotte:

All:

[@samlank]

[@sterredezeeuw3325]

+Samantha Lank idk why i just told you all that but uhm yeah

[@skidge4799]

ITS FINE WE DID THIS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL AND EVERYONE IS LIKE 17

[@mothersuperior2673]

"Why do I feel like my life is in danger?" Forgetting your homework be like

[@flipmaya]

I was seriously worried for people who would come out nowhere and say "Thumbs up if Victorious sent you here?" With assorted emoticons.

[@bombiss_9124]

In my school's version they changed "wanna get drunk" to another "wanna get out"

[@vesqid]

Bombiss_ our school’s version was “wanna sleep in”

[@spencerjasinover6403]

Our school doesn’t change anything...

[@laraakinci]

Bombiss_ our school only does math ;(

[@madisencourneya8967]

I would go see it again any day! I LOVED IT! ☺♥☺♥

[@juliay768]

[@parkermarlie4083]

[@ezra9572]

Natasha Robine how did that work? It's all about his bar mitzvah which is a thing that happens when ur 13

[@natcatinthehat]

GayFaerie We made it be more about a sweet 16... we also changed a few songs into scenes and monologues

[@xzFiredrakezx]

I love this song.i remember when i was thirteen. I felt exactly like this.

[@TFletch97]

This is like the best audition song. I like it because its musical theater but rockish.

[@TheJuggernau7]

I'm doing the first ever amateur production of this show, and I'm Evan!!!! I'm so excited!

[@hanbanvlogs]

AYO im playing Lucy 13 years after this musical came out, and im 13!!

[@EFacundo]

I'm playing drums for this show in March too!

[@bruhmoment2699]

Who knew 10 years later the main character would share da same name as this guy (dear evan hansen)

[@Skercz14]

I don't even remember being thirteen. Listening to this song makes me feel old, five years is not that long ago yet I have not memory of it whatsoever.

[@halliemarie1673]

I am playing Patrice in this soon. Please wish me a broken leg!❤😄

[@ExceededTag6048]

Break a leg!

[@Charliebishop100]

Performing arts school is doing this, being Evan (shout out to all Evans, hey!). Looking forward to seeing the rest of my senior class pretending to be 13 again!!

[@4EverTomahawk]

[@bester8588]

@Jerry Primo idk i am not 13

[@TheMusicforever97]

i cant get enough of the songs from here

[@ethanhands8743]

I'm doing this production in school

[@InterestInADollsLife]

Ethan Hands Just a question, would you need to ask Broadway for permission to do this? Because I really want to do this musical, but I'm scared of copyright infringement.

[@natashaboyd3442]

+Rosel Joan Vallar no you don't i was in a production at a theatre doing this and we were fine as long as its not recorded and if so you give rights to them

[@hpppmajorfan]

+Rosel Joan Vallar you'd have to rent the scripts and score books, and to sell tickets you'd have to buy or rent the rights to perform it. Like you can't do it for free unless you memorize it from watching it and get the score from KZbin, and then don't let anyone see it. (Cause if word got out to the company that'd be copyright infringement.)

[@SexyPandaPants]

Anyone else notice that at 1:30 when everyone yells "Thirteen!" you can hear the beginning of "I want a dirt bike!"?

[@liamsoda4199]

I’m 17 and this is still my life.

[@jasonabroussard]

I'm auditioning for this at a local theatre academy in two weeks. I'm totally excited!

[@milesandemilyrock]

@nickanddisneyshows1 Liz was alomost 16 and Ariana was 15 the only 13 year old were Eamon Foley and the girls who play Kendra and Patrice

[@meguminxyunyun]

hahhaha, that's impossible, because Liz was 14 or 15 just like Ariana, because Ariana only beats Liz for a month, June 26 (Ariana), July 27 (Liz). 1993

[@Loyd776]

great show!

[@saddel2]

I got this song stuck in my head! I love this part in the song No, youre not ready! No, its not time yet! No, its not right now! Wait until youre older! TTYLXOX

[@sammimisterka9642]

We had the first rehearsal for this yesterday, I can't tell you how excited I am :)

[@Shockev]

OMG my school's the first public school to do this and I'm Evan!! EPIC!!

[@7y1er74]

epic

[@cristinarose1516]

Is it just me or does his voice sound really nasally?? Not trying to be rude, I'm sure his voice has changed by now considering it's been like 10 years lol.

[@sweeneytoddsrazor]

Cristina Rose lololol

[@TheWarnerSister]

Thank you for illustrating my point so beautifully.

[@BenDover-yq5mz]

Ariana went to this to the MEN Attacks on the 22nd R.I.P for anyone who died

[@GamingSaturnMoonManBoy]

Does anyone notice the girl farthest to the right is Ariana Grande

[@tianajayne121]

Oh shit, she is too!

[@ssarahhc1236]

And Liz gillies is the one second from the far right

[@meguminxyunyun]

me, her voyces it's so same

[@jacksongould6952]

Turning 13 tomorrow. Listening on repeat

[@togruta4]

I was sorta "stuck" with the part of Evan for a performance of this song in my musical theatre class, but now that I've been forced into the part I found out that I really like it! (did I already post this?)

[@untouchaBELLE]

i was saying it not to tell everyone who it is but to express how amazing she is.

[@fuzzyprank]

i absolutaly love all of 13!!!

[@TheWarnerSister]

@TheWarnerSister And I know that adults "used to be thirteen too". They just sometimes forget that any problem is big to a kid, and how tough the transition from kid to teenager is. People expect a lot of you, and then make it sound like your problems were really nothing, which frankly is insulting.

[@Olma62]

That Is True! I'm 13 And Almost Everything I Ask For, I Always Hear: "No, youre not ready! No, its not time yet! No, its not right now! Wait until youre older!" And This Is Also True: "Why is the world feeling totally stranger? Why are my friends acting totally weird? Why do I feel like my life is in danger? Why do I feel like my brain disappeared?"

[@HadesLordofDeath]

watched this play done by the drama department at my town, really good =P

[@hunibear2193]

Reading these comments are so weird. It's like taking a peek at a preserved historical relic.

[@Sarah_rosexx]

EXACTLY

[@BroadwayBabe397]

im doing this song for my musical theatre class this year... GO CAPA!!!

[@jaelinjanae1908]

i just turned 13 and i related to this when i was 12

[@broadwaybaby1999]

this is my skool play this yearr yeaa nailed the audition

[@glimmerfairy9]

Me to! On January 1st! I loved him! lol

[@CaliXiNamiKai]

My fave part is at 2:08 I can't help but chuckle every time i listen to it. :D

[@jasonabroussard]

Brett. I have long blonde hair, his voice is in my range, Eric was 17 when he played him, im 16. And a lot of people see me as him. I'm just worried my audition piece isn't exactly brett'ish enough haha

[@luellathezombie]

lyuv this

[@rileyelizabeth3834]

am i the only one that can pick out liz and arianas voices when everyone is singing because i listen to them so much…

[@bombiss_9124]

No other show my school does will ever be good as this one.

[@laurenstyles95]

im 15 and still kinda relate to this. Love This Song

[@asherbarnes]

Wow you’re 26 now lol

[@daisukefan92]

Evan is a Tenor. In fact all of the males,except for Brett and i think Riche,are Tenors. The 2 are Baritone and Countertenor respectivly. The girls are mostly Saprano but i think Lucy is an Alto.

[@Fabrinaaa]

Love 13!! IThe songs are amazing (: LOL

[@Allmusicals13]

haha turned 13 back in october 2009. Everythin does change! I saw my first cat-fight, alot of the people i used to hang out with took turns for the worst, and i had spanish class. And alot of the teachers are tellin us that we are not grown yet and need to start acting our age. haha but 13 is when everythin switches. Its realy confusing, but thats just what it will take to find out who u are. Hopefully i find myself :)

[@KellanSass]

I know this whole song plus get me what i need,what it means,to be a friend.all hail the brain/terminal illness,getting ready,opportunity,it cant be true,if thats what it is,a little more homework and brand new you

[@mastromjm]

YAY it's BACK!

[@broadwaybaby1999]

[@cfechic]

[@japippet]

ikr it one of my favorite part

[@esthergoldstein7165]

Listening to to this last few minutes I’m 13

[@MoOeRmain]

Why aren’t you making more songs I am waiting

[@asherbarnes]

I’m 13 and my only reaction to these kids is, get over yourself, you’re still very much a child. Idk it’s just funny to me that they think they’re all grown up now that they’re 13

[@vesqid]

Note to self: Evan’s monologue is at roughly 3:20

[@XoWackieJackie24]

your a savior.

[@Allmusicals13]

i have sheet music. how come the girls parts are lower? Love the musical. Wish people taped it all so i could see it. I can watch wicked and legally blonde the musicals but not 13.

[@TheJuggernau7]

Yep, we have JRB coming in to work on it with us!

[@getthefonyourdot]

Is it just me, or does the person come in a little early on 1:31?

[@judebush6050]

Nope, I'm playing Evan, and that's normal

[@DDAwesome13]

i know what you mean. and yes,he does

[@rcantwell161]

I want to be in this but there are so many musicals to choose from and by the time someone decides to put on this play I'll be 14

[@hermione333]

[@yarshyt]

I'm playing Archie and rehearsals start this Monday. Wish me luck!

[@lilboi1019]

where are you performing?

[@Politoed89]

@ImRightHere13 well, it won't be exactly the same, haha. But pretty much everyone has experiences like this in early teen hood.

[@lesionfreepretty]

wow, you guys are melodramatic- I love this song, don't get me wrong (pffftt, I rhymed XD) but I'm 13 and pretty fine with it XD

[@caitlinslife4526]

I went to see this today

[@togruta4]

Does anyone know where I can get sheet music for this musical?

[@TheWarnerSister]

I think I need to show this song to my mom. No one really gets how hard it is to be thirteen, unless they are!

[@EpicHobos]

@xEccentricElectricx actually milesandemilyrock was correct. And Aaron simon gross was 14, and the person who played brett was 17.

[@MusicAndHorses4ever]

Haha, seems a little exaggerated; I'm thirteen, and I've NEVER seen an experience like this XD But I'm IN LOVE with this musical, and I swear, if this musical ever comes to my school (which I doubt, 'cause it's a high school) I think I'd have to audition to be Lucy.
