Santa Barbara, CA, United States

Description:

Casting call for singers for “Dear Evan Hansen”. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A letter meant to stay private, a truth that was never supposed to come to light, a life he never imagined possible. With a book by Steven Levenson and a soaring, generation‑defining score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, this modern classic follows Evan, a teenager who’s always felt unseen—until a sudden tragedy gives him the chance to reinvent himself. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for. Winner of six Tony Awards, Dear Evan Hansen is a profoundly contemporary coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever felt alone in a crowded room. Additional info: Currently scheduling auditions for Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13 (1 pm-5 pm). When applying, please send a headshot & resume, preferred day/time, and which role (or roles) you'd like to be considered.

5 roles

EVAN HANSENMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Strong pop tenor, G2-C5. A high school senior who is intelligent and excruciatingly self-conscious. Suffers from depression and severe social anxiety. 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 MURPHYFemale15-17 y.o.All ethnicities

Pop soprano, F3-E5. Sensitive and sophisticated, with a sharp sense of humor, Zoe couldn't care less about the status games and popularity rites of high school. She feels a terrible ambivalence about the death of her brother, Connor.

CONNOR MURPHYMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Pop baritone/tenor, C3-G#4. An angry, disaffected loner, Connor has been a troubled kid for as long as anyone can remember. He’s an enigma. A source of endless consternation to his long-suffering parents and resentment to his younger sister.

JARED KLEINMANMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Pop tenor, D3-B4. Droll and sarcastic, Jared covers his own insecurities with well-practiced swagger and know-it-all arrogance.

ALANA BECKFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Pop soprano, F3-E5. Earnest to a fault and prone to melodrama, Alana hides a deep loneliness beneath an ever-present smile and an almost aggressive friendliness. An ambitious over-achiever.
