We gotta talk about the Dear Evan Hansen movie

February 10, 2025 • This Might Be Niche

Listeners, it's time. In this episode of This Might Be Niche, Scott & Alana deep dive on one of the most polarizing movie musicals of the last 10 years, the Dear Evan Hansen movie. Directed by Stephen Chbosky, starring Ben Platt and featuring the music from the famous musical by Pasek and Paul, this movie had the community talking. Our hosts touch on some of the differences between the two versions, what did and didn't work, and question why the makeup team thought 7 layers of powdered foundation projected "youth". We may never know. Let's get into it.
