Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.
Character Breakdown:
Evan Hansen
Smart, sincere, and excruciatingly self-conscious, Evan prefers to hover in the background, a supporting player in his own life, too afraid to step forward into the spotlight and risk ridicule or, what might be worse, no one noticing him at all.
Gender: male
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: G2
Heidi Hansen
Evan’s mother. Overworked and stretched too thin, Heidi loves her son fiercely, but fears they have begun to grow apart. She is prepared to do anything to repair the damage.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: F3
Zoe Murphy
Sensitive and sophisticated, with a sharp sense of humor, Zoe could care less about the status games and popularity rites of high school. She feels a terrible ambivalence over her brother’s death.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: F3
Connor Murphy
An angry, disaffected loner, Connor has been a troubled kid for as long as anyone can remember, an enigma and a source of endless consternation to his long-suffering parents.
Gender: male
Vocal range top: G#4
Vocal range bottom: C3
Cynthia Murphy
Connor and Zoe’s mother. To Evan, she seems to be the perfect mother, nurturing, available, and willing to talk about anything. To her own children, it’s a bit more complicated.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: F3
Larry Murphy
Connor and Zoe’s father. Though often tense and taciturn, Larry shows a different face to the world, representing for Evan the dad he always wished for: strong, confident, and more than anything, reliable, someone to be counted on.
Gender: male
Vocal range top: G4
Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Jared Kleinman
Droll and sarcastic, Jared covers his own insecurities with a well-practiced swagger and a know-it-all arrogance.
Gender: male

Vocal range bottom: D3
Alana Beck
Earnest to a fault, prone to melodrama, Alana hides a deeper loneliness beneath an ever-present smile and an almost aggressive friendliness.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: F3
Small Ensemble
These performers will represent the voice of the school community and the ever-present influence of social media that shapes the characters’ experiences. Through vocal performance, movement, and featured moments, the ensemble will help underscore and amplify the emotional landscape – highlighting the isolation, expectations, and pressures that high school students experience both in-person and in the digital world. This group will be cast from performers who can convincingly portray high school-aged students.
