Dear Even Hansen The Musical - Blog Posts

Dear Silver the Hedgehog,

We’ve been wayyyy too out of touch!

Things have been crazy, and it sucks that we don’t talk that much :(

Sincerely, Me.

————————————————————————

Here’s a concept poster for my au idea “Dear Silver the Hedgehog”. I’ve been having a lot of fun thinking this up, and I absolutely love the though of our three hedgehog boys singing ‘Sincerely Me’! Also Silver singing ‘Waving Through a Window’ or Blaze singing ‘Requiem’ are cool to think about :>

(Btw I’m not sure about the last names since technically Shads and Sonic would also have the same ones… maybe I’ll try to come up with something??)

Let me know what you think! Love you guys! 💙🤍💙

Me cause I just found out Found/Tonight exists<3

I just love how the line "two friends on a perfect day" from "For Forever" (Dear Evan Hansen) can be misunderstood as "two friends on a perfect date", which kind of matches the situation lol

When you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen to, publish them, and send this ask to the last 10 people in your notifs!

Well, I've been listening to Dear Evan Hansen songs recently, so I'll just name my favourites.

1. Sincerely, me (for no one's suprise)

2. For Forever

3. Requiem

4. Waving through a window

5. Good for you

Yeah, that's the most likely answer. I am planning to read the book, thanks for the recommendation!!

One thing that doesn't make sense in Dear Evan Hansen is that Connor took his own life while he had Evan's letter.

Like, what did he wanted people to think?

Did he wanted to make people believe that his death was Evan's fault (I find this quite improbable, because no one would read that letter and think that Evan was guilty of anything)?

Did he wanted to people to realise that Evan wrote that letter to "tease" him and blame Evan (because no one would have predicted that someone else would pretend to be your bestie after your death)?

Didn't he think about that letter?? Was he too lazy or to tired to do something about it??

Does anyone knows the answer to this (or knows a theory that makes sense)? I'm really curious

(Maybe this is explained in the book but I haven't read it)

Starting today, I will be doing #MUSICALMAYHEM which is a year full of me making animatics for musicals that you all get to pick. There are at least 1 musical for each month the musical list will posted and you all will tell me which song deserves to be turned into an animatic and I will pick the song based on how many people say the same one.

First picture is for February to April and the second is for the whole year. Please go a vote on Instagram.

If you like animatics and musicals please join in with your own list or aniamtics or even just by voting

A doodle a day 2025- February

already 2 months in and haven't missed a day yet! Athough the post is a day late as I forgot It was already March (so catch a sneak peak of that doodle!)

I did some DEH sketches during online classes.

Hope you like them!

I got around to coloring the Connor Murphy sketch I did the other day, and I gave him an Evan too!

Continuing on with the dear evan Hanson rewrite you can't have a musical with out songs and to fit this new version of dear even Hanson the songs ether needed to be edited added to or expanded upon. I also added a couple of new songs as a treat

Song change's

new songs

Sincerely as a reprise at the start of the musical and near the end slowly shifting into a more somber tone each tine

Seeds of what will be (a song taking the place as the first song establishing evan and Conners relation ship showing them as young hopeful children exited to grow up and face the word together

Immediately after words any body have a map plays and establishes the boys current lives and the fact that are not longer friends

Ghost of a chance ( a duet between Conner and evan reflecting on there past together and what kinda of future thay cool have had together if that stuck together instead of separating and being stuck in this hell

Change "my sisters hot" to "l think your hot" in sincerely me

Add sad ghostly instrument motifs to songs fetchering conner

Add gently lively nature wind instruments motifs to evan

"If i could tell her" is changed to if "I could tell him" coiner sings a long with even bit then instead of describing zoe, coner and even shift into describing each other(or guilt for "killing" Connor and not being able to talk to anyone about it) or ( have have of i could tell her be from coiners perspective and he's using even as a way to express his live for his sister

((Note I have no idea what to do with his song I live it and want it to stay in the rewrite but its needs to some how change and i can't decide what thay change should be so feel free to give me your ideas in what u guys think works best))

Change requiem to be less about zoe being rude and actually give people development

At beginning lunch scene they sing sincerely me reprise of them writing the joke letter with end stanza of the real letter

During the drug scene a combo of sincerely me and ghost of a chance plays in while Evan and conner song out there feelings

(( note might just write an entirely new songs instead of just combining 2 reprise nut im lazy and don't want to think about how that all may fit together so give me your thoughts))

Ok so to start out his rewrite. Lets me start by list my currently planed story changes (note this arent final and is may add and or edit this changes feel free to give me your own ideas and comments on your own ideas

Story change's

* Conner and even are childhood friends/ boyfriends

* No more love plot between evan and conners sister

* The charade is more of a collabe between conner and evan

* Even gets a lot more flack for the charade

* Evan blames himself a lot more for conners death

* Evan tries to help Conner by making an in depth feel good letter but accidentally gives him an insulting joke. Letters he made During lunch with some friends

* It is unclear in the scene set up if the letter is actually involved in the suicide and is an ongoing mystery in the show if conners death was evans letters fault or if hes death was unavailable

* Even ends up doing drugs

Near the end of the story ether right after or very close to before evan is revealed as a lie evan takes a massive dose were the talks with conners gost who gives him a pep talk through song.

* As the story goes on evans wears more of conners style of clothes

* Perhaps during the drug scene said  clothing is removed  by Conner being replaced by his normal attire as he calmly walks off stage finally moving on maybe leaves small jewelry piece, like BFF necklace or bracelet bc he'll always be part of him

Ok so I know dear evan Hanson has gotten a lot of new press recently due to the movie. Most of it not good. believe me I agree that the story is a total trash fire but bear with me the story and songs have potential.

I mean...

What if evan and conner were childhood friends?

What if conner had more Character than being a dead stoner?

What if conner actualy gave a dame about others feelings?

All these questions end more well be answer with my suggestions of a dear evan hands on rewrite. Written by yours truely and any given fans who wants to give there ideas.

My Thoughts On Evan’s Actions In Dear Evan Hansen

Spoiler Warning For Dear Evan Hansen

I’m personally sympathizer for Evan Hansen. I understand why he acted the way he did and lied, even though I don’t agree with actions.

I know most people are mad at Evan for lying about Connor. What Evan did was wrong, it’s wrong to give a family false hope about their son who they had just lost to suicide. It’s wrong to lie about someone who passed away.

You can say “I would never do that, ever.” but remember Evan Hansen isn’t you.

Evan’s a neurodivergent, anxious, depressed, suicidal, lonely kid, he’s also scared of public speeches and talking to others in general.

He didn’t have any friends either. Even Jared only thought of Evan as a “family friend”.

So when he talked to Connor, even though it was very brief, and Connor shouted at him, when Connor signed his cast he might’ve thought they were friends. So losing one of the only people who somewhat treated him as a friend, hurt him so much.

He didn’t want to lie about Connor. When he was first given the letter by Connor’s parents, he wanted to tell them the truth.

But he couldn’t. He was anxious and nervous so he panicked, as a result he lied out of panic.

He didn’t want to hurt Connor’s parents by lying to them, he didn’t mean to or want to lie to them, but he lied out of panic.

He didn’t want to hurt them even more by telling them the truth, that their son didn’t write anyone a letter or any note before committing suicide.

When Connor’s family asked him about Connor and Evan’s friendship, he didn’t want to lie but he didn’t want to upset them any further. That’s why he lied.

Also, having a fake, imaginary, overly romanticized friendship with someone, even if that person had passed away, made him feel less lonely and alone. Evan never had a close friend and neither did Connor, he didn’t want to tell Connor’s parents, Connor didn’t have any true friends and him and Connor weren’t really friends. He didn’t want Connor’s parents to become even more sad by telling them Connor wasn’t really friends with anyone and was all alone.

Evan didn’t want to lie while giving his speech about Connor either. But he was once again anxious and nervous so he panicked and lied out of panic. This time he had so many people in front of him and cameras surrounding him, he didn’t want to upset so many people by telling the truth so he lied, hoping that would make things better.

The situation was like a double ended sword for Evan. Lying to people would be wrong, and he knew that, but it wouldn’t hurt them as much if he told them the truth, and if they didn’t found out the truth they wouldn’t be as devastated.

I’m not defending Evan’s actions, what he did was wrong. I’m not saying being a neurodivergent, anxious, depressed, suicidal, lonely kid is an excuse for his actions.

But when you think about all this from Evan’s perspective there are explanations for his lies.

I’m just saying, Evan didn’t want to hurt people, but he didn’t really know how to help them so he thought lying would work, and it worked until it didn’t.

In the end, Evan realized his mistakes and owned up for them, he didn’t make excuses for them, he apologized and tried to make things better even though the damage had already been done, he tried his best to make things better.
