so big / so small

date night: dear evan hansen


in the same vein as two of my favorite films, sing street and lars and the real girl (and i'll even throw hunt for the wilderpeople in there), dear evan hansen surprised me.

i knew it would be a fantastic, entertaining, sublimely acted production, and it was. and i knew that it would thoughtfully weave together important and timely issues, and it did. i even knew i would love the music (and of course, i did). 

but ultimately, for me, it turned out to be kind of a different story -- and a much more beautiful love story -- than i was expecting.

i love surprises like that.

"no matter what. 
i'll be here. 

ps, bryan is shedding no tears over the six month broadway musical drought he's about to endure. stay tuned for june, though, when summer and afton get their first taste of wicked
