My uncle sent me this Head Over Heels playbill the other day. This is my first ever Pridebill!

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to see Dear Evan Hansen for a second time. I know some people may not understand why I love this show so much but it’s honestly one of the most incredible pieces of musical theater I’ve ever experienced. The story and the characters themselves are so uniquely universal I can see aspects of myself in each of them. The emotion in this show is completely overwhelming. The lights weren’t even turned on yet and I immediately started crying the second Ben Platt walked on stage. I’ve never seen someone who is able to deliver that kind of raw emotion so successfully. I have no idea how he is able to do what he does eight times a week. He is one of a kind.

I was also super lucky to meet Ben for a second time. Despite the huge crowd of people and the numerous playbills in his face, he stopped and acknowledged everyone he could. Even though our interaction was brief just seeing him made me happy. He radiates happiness and gratitude and truly deserves all of the success and recognition he’s getting.

I know most people may not get to see this show once let alone twice but just know Ben is as humble and gracious as he is talented. I hope there is a Tony heading his way and I can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
