Cam Mac was aparantly seeing this the other week. Maybe he could see it in one of his smaller theatres (Coward/Gielgud) for a limited run.

I don't think Cam Mac seeing it means anything. At the end of the day he loves theatre and was probably invited. Given how hands on he is I doubt he'll be working on this in anyway, as I'm sure he's got his hands full with Hamilton coming up, Miss Saigon due for Broadway and tour and Les Miz about to tour the US again.

I'll be annoyed if we get this before Next to Normal.

Jeeeez - was hoping to catch this show when I go to NYC in June but didn't want to book tickets as have regretted not being flexible the past couple of times I've been. Went on the website for this show yesterday and saw that for the whole weekend I'm there there's 3 orchestra seats left! Had to book my seat as this is really the only show I definitely want to see (I love a young male lead). Shocked at how well it's selling!!!

Well if other forums are anything to go by Ben Platt is practically a cert to win the Tony, so I guess that sort of word of mouth probably has something to do with it! Does anyone know when he's contracted until? I won't be able to do a trip to New York until autumn at the earliest this year so I suspect he may have left by then... |

I would imagine he's there for a year if not longer.

He's the Cynthia Erivo of the season.

Loved the cast recording. This really needs a West End transfer.

I'm interested in the show, but not at $413 for an orchestra section seat!

I didn't pay much attention to this until Elaine Page played a couple of songs on her show today. They sounded really good and now I want to hear more!

I'm OBSESSED with this show right now! The cast album is the only thing I've listened to for weeks, goosebumps every time! However, something tells me it's not quite right for a UK transfer, which is sad if accurate.

However, something tells me it's not quite right for a UK transfer, which is sad if accurate. Hmmmm I've also been considering this - but I think conversations about mental health are very important, and things are (slowly) moving in the right direction with regards to people talking about issues like that - so it could be exactly what the UK needs. That being said, we all know what tends to transfer and what doesn't so I'm doubtful it will come. |

Dear Evan Hansen's depiction of mental health is pretty questionable though in my opinion.

I saw DEH in Washington DC and off-Broadway. I felt similarly (though, luckily, I've had no firsthand major experience with mental health issues), the bit in the storyline about his medication was incredibly bothersome.

This show for me was the perfect follow up to Waitress, very contrasting yet equally as good. The small cast of eight work very well together, I wasn't particular enamoured by Evan's mother and her songs though. Ben Platt is everything they say he is and more. His portrayal of Evan tight and he shows the many sides of the character very well.
You Will Be Found, For Forever and Requiem strengthen the show, especially the former, which ends the first act beautifully. Waving Through a Window appears earlier than expected, but it sets us up to understand what a day in the life of the title character actually entails. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended, my other half preferred this greatly to Waitress, whilst I preferred Waitress only slightly.

So Ben Platt was just named one of Time's 100 most influential people? Um..he's a great talent, but I'm sure I don't know anyone who isn't part of a cyber-theatre community who knows who this young man is.

Speaking of relatives, I think his dad is pretty influential. |
