We had the misfortune of seeing Noah Galvin giving a completely one-note performance in the lead just after BP had left. With all the talent out there, I can’t understand what the thinking was in casting him.
I know he has a TV profile in the States, but I very much doubt that this show would need to cash in on that to boost an audience.
It must have been hard for the original cast to work alongside such a dud. It did have the overall feeling of a cast phoning it in the night we saw it. We were very disappointed with the performance we saw, especially as we’d been listening to the soundtrack a lot in the lead up to going to see it and we imagined that even without Ben Platt, the show would be rock solid. It just shows how dependent this particular show is on having a lead who really understands the issues that Evan is struggling with, rather than just an actor gurning, speed talking and writhing his way through the performance.

He's not that famous, isn't he? He was the star of The Real O'Neals, and that's pretty much it.

His face was definitely all over bus stops and internet kiosks in Midtown manhattan when the show was running, though. Of all the non-Platts in the show, he might have the most non-New York recognition from the general public, but I wouldn't call him famous. |

I'm CRYING over how old I feel (but also this is shaping up to be a great tour cast).

Wow this is an A star tour cast! Jessica Phillips is wonderful and the other two adults are top notch. I also just found out that tour Evan Hansen is dating Broadway Evan Hansen. It takes gays who like to date their clones to a higher level.

The first track from the deluxe album 'Part of Me' is available now, and I can't stop listening to it. It's not as strong as You Will Be Found (which eventually replaced it), but still beautiful nonetheless.

A little over three years after discovering this show Off-Broadway, and seeing the Broadway production twice, I’m off to see the Toronto production this afternoon!

Every bit as good as the Broadway production.The material is just so strong and everything just comes together so well.
