Dear Evan Hansen | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

James Corden hosted a special called Homefest on Monday (March 30) and he chatted with celebs via video chat while everyone’s at home in quarantine.

At the end of the night, James had Ben Platt and cast members from the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen perform the song “You Will Be Found,” all via videos filmed at their own homes.

Ben starred in the show on Broadway and he won the Tony Award for his performance. Jordan Fisher, the most recent actor to play the role in New York City, is one of the many people featured in the video.

James spoke about the range of emotions he’s felt while in quarantine, and on the importance of being there for others in this time, so “You Will Be Found” was the perfect song to close out the show.

If you don’t know, the show is a smash hit on Broadway and Andrew will be taking over the role on January 30, 2019.

“As a real-life high school student, I relate to the character of Evan Hansen immensely. And as a performer, it’s obviously been a dream of mine to sing Pasek & Paul’s amazing score – I’m so excited to get to make my Broadway debut in this show that means so much to me and my peers,” Andrew said in a statement.

Andrew will be the youngest person to take on the intense role and will be the first actual high-school student to play Evan on Broadway. The role was made famous by Ben Platt, who won a Tony for his work in the show.

Katy Perry has released her own version of the song “Waving Through a Window” from the Tony-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen!

The pop star recorded the song for the Deluxe Edition of the Broadway musical’s cast recording. She released a statement in which she talked about seeing the show for the first time last year and how she related to the song.

“On April 29, 2017, I went and saw Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, and was emotionally transformed forever. In my own life, I’ve struggled with depression, and like so many, always feeling alone in the battle of wanting to belong,” Katy said. “That night, I was particularly struck by the song ‘Waving Through A Window.’ It embodied the mental isolation I sometimes fought.”

“So when my friends Benj Pasek and Justin Paul came to me and asked if I would like to record this song, not only to help launch the national tour, but to continue the conversation on mental health and all its complexities, I jumped right in. I hope this song helps you know that you are not alone, and that I’m waiving back at you,” Katy added.
