5. Waving Through A Window
‘Waving Through A Window’ is the Dear Evan Hansen song. When people think of this musical, this (tends to be) the one they think of. It’s hugely popular amongst musical theatre songs, heightened by the success of social media such as TikTok. It is sung by Evan and really sets up the musical, giving us insight to his character and emotional state.
4. Good For You
‘Good For You’ is sang in Act 2 and led by Evan’s mum Heidi and Connor’s mum Cynthia. This song has a rougher, more rock element to it. It’s a great look into the point of view of the other characters and how they are affected by Evan’s actions.
3. Sincerely, Me
This song is super playful and fun and really showcases that these characters (Evan, Jared and Connor) are just teenagers. Its such a catchy song – if you know it, I imagine you’re singing “sin-cere-ly ME” right now.
2. Only Us
‘Only Us’ is another beautiful song that really highlights that these characters are teenagers amongst all of this tragedy and pain. It’s a tender, love song sang between Evan and Zoe, and it is stunning!
1. You Will Be Found
Dear Evan Hansen is a hugely inspirational musical and has been so special to many, many musical theatre fans since it premiered on Broadway in 2016 and West End in 2019. This number particularly is incredibly emotional and touching. It’s a heartfelt reminder that we’re not alone.
