BREAKDOWN

DEAR EVAN HANSEN

SEEKING:

EVAN HANSEN: Pop Tenor G2-B4 (Bottom G to top B) The character is 17. The character is male-identifying and can be any ethnicity. 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.

ZOE MURPHY: Pop Soprano F3-E5 (Bottom F to E two above middle C) The character is 16. The character is female-identifying and can be any ethnicity. 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.

ALANA BECK: Pop Soprano F3-E5 (Bottom F to E two above middle C) The character is 17. The character is female-identifying and can be any ethnicity. Earnest to a fault, prone to melodrama, Alana hides a deeper loneliness beneath an ever-present smile and an almost aggressive friendliness.

CONNOR MURPHY: Pop Bari/Tenor G2-G4 (Bottom G to Top G) The character is 17. The character is male-identifying and can be any ethnicity. 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.

JARED KLEINMAN: Pop Tenor A2-B4 (Bottom A to top B) The character is 17. The character is male-identifying and can be any ethnicity. Droll and sarcastic, Jared covers his own insecurities with a well-practiced swagger and a know-it-all arrogance.

HEIDI HANSEN: Pop Alto F3-Eb5 (belt) Evan’s mother. The character is in her 40s, female-identifying and can be any ethnicity. Overworked and stretched too thin, Heidi loves her son fiercely and is in constant overwhelmedness balancing single parenthood with her full-time job as a nurse.

CYNTHIA MURPHY: Pop Soprano F#3-E5 (belt) Connor and Zoe’s mother. The character is in her 40s, female-identifying and can be any ethnicity. Boho meets suburban chic, in perpetual search of meaning and purpose. ”She gets into a lot of different things. For a while, it was Pilates. The Secret. Buddhism.” To Evan, and the rest of the world, she seems outwardly to be the perfect mother, nurturing, sophisticated, available, and willing to talk about anything. To her own children, it’s a bit more complicated.

LARRY MURPHY: Pop Bari/Tenor F#2-G4 Connor and Zoe’s father. The character is in his 40s, male identifying and can be any ethnicity. 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.
