Dear Evan Hansen has found its new Evan Hansen – 16-year-old high school junior Andrew Barth Feldman!
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.
