SEEKING:
[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 top: B4, 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
