“God Knows Where He Is Right Now, But I Promise You, He’s Doing Whatever The Hell He Wants And Not

The cast of Dear Evan Hansen for the Easter Bonnet Competition.

no one talks about the finale enough but it’s so heartbreaking because it’s the kind of closure that’s not happy?? but then you think more into it…this kid who tried to kill himself, who’s dealt with crippling anxiety and gone through a horrible experience (at his own hand, but horrible nonetheless), saying “today is gonna be a good day because today you’re you and that’s enough”?? that’s groundbreaking. that’s inspiring. that might not be happy, but that’s development, that’s contentment, that’s the sort of soft, sound kind of ending and closure that happens a lot more in real life than the happily ever after that is so often portrayed in fiction. and i think that’s a large part of what captivates a lot of us about this musical; it is so real.

He looks so confused at the beginning oh my

The scene where Connor and Evan meet in the lab is one of the most intense for me because I can just see both of them struggling so hard and they’re just on opposite sides of a coin trying to figure out how not to fuck this up and they’re both on guard and towards the end we see Connor really trying by handing him the letter but he sees Zoe’s name and his wall shoots back up and suddenly he’s on the defense again and it just feels so hopeless Because they were THIS close to maybe having somebody who could be there for them and the miscommunication just ruins it all and so many things could have been different​

Let’s all remember that there’s not a super strong “happy ending” to Dear Evan Hansen. There’s not a sad ending either. It’s just… left there. As if life continues on. As if relationships still continue to heal. As if people continue to change. It adds an element of continuity to the plot. While some resolutions are found, for the most part, it’s up to the audience to continue the story in their mind. 

And that’s a beautiful part of theatre that I really enjoy.
