Normally, in Broadway musicals when you end up with an actor originating a role as pivotal and unique as Evan, and its a once or twice in a generation connection of talent and character, as we saw with Platt, it becomes virtually impossible for anyone else to succeed in making the role theirs until a revival comes along 5, 10 or even 20 years down the road. How long did it take to find another "Mama Rose' other than Ethel Merman, or 'Tevye' other than Zero Mostel? Sometimes the role becomes so identified for so long, its impossible to shake. There still is no other King of Siam but Yul Brynner, or Dolly Levy other than Carol Channing. And it has absolutely nothing to do with any lack of ability or talent by the dozen or so actors that follow. You see that Brown here, he is trying to walk that fine line between keeping what worked for Platt, Faist and Roland in this number and trying for baby steps to make the role his own. Its clearly working. He's getting the laughs and he's got the audience with him. That's success right there!
@g280fl92 жыл бұрын
Agreed, it's important to remember that these are actors. Not imitators. They're going to make the role their own. An understudy does not mean underwhelming or underperforming. There are plenty I have preferred to the principle actor. If they weren't capable of delivering an amazing performance then they wouldn't be there. The producers aren't just going to let the show go to hell on some days. So I hope people will keep that in mind. You're there to see a show, not an evening with a particular actor. 👍

@@joshuabarnett9027ok so you might not believe this. So Connor (Mike Faist character) is actually a kid who committed suicide. Before he did that, he took a note that was written by Evan (The guy in the blue shirt) to himself about his social anxiety. Once his parents found him dead, they saw Evan’s letter with Connor and assumed it was a suicide note to Evan and also assumes he his best friend. Since Evan has so much anxiety, he can’t tell them the truth so this song is him and Jared (The guy in glasses) writing fake notes to make his parents believe that he was best friends with Connor

I love the "Dear Evan Hansen thanks for every note you sent"line choreography.(the little punches Connor gives to Evan) Even though it's meant to be interpreted as Connor being playful as friends would do, I personally like to see it a Connor simply being passive agressive,as if his spirit could see them and being aware Evan is spitting utter bullshit but playing along with it. In a kind of " *No you you fucking didn't but ok* " And as if in this song it is actually Connors spirit and he is just being passive agressive about the whole thing (like mocking them about what they are writing about him)and while on that he is getting a kick out of it.

Slightly unrelated but I like that, should we assume that this is fully just Evan trying to imagine how Connor would have been if they were friends, that Evan basically imagines that he’d be hyper aggressive with him. Practically punching him even though he’s being “ playful “ because the only real trait Evan actually saw of Connor before he died was his tendency towards violence ( when he gets thrown to the ground before waving through a window by Connor and Connor screaming at him and shoving past him in the computer lab )

I've watched this video so many times and compared it to the one in the movie... people liked the movie version but it PALED in comparison to this one. The lines were deilivered in a livelier tone here. Also, in this version, Connor and Evan seem to be interacting more, looking at each other, handshakes, etc whereas in the movie Evan and Connor are dancing/sitting next to each other. Yes, there is more background in the movie, but it seemed less spirited, more quiet and in the end, did not create the kind of impact that this one did. Maybe also because Mike Faist is in this one and he conveys a lot of emotions (no disrespect to the actor in the movie)
