Dear Evan Hansen: Through the Window

by Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, Justin Paul Narrated by Taylor Trensch

Overview

The official behind-the-scenes book of the hit musical that won 6 Tony Awards, now also a major motion picture!

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.

The book-produced by Melcher Media, the team behind Hamilton, Wicked, Rent, and many more-tells the story of the musical from its conception nearly a decade ago to the Broadway stage. From developing the idea to writing the show, composing, casting, and rehearsals, Dear Evan Hansen appeals to fans far and wide offering them the opportunity to continuously revisit the show, and for those who haven't seen the musical, reading the book will make them feel like they have.

Filled with interviews with the cast and crew, original behind-the-scenes photography, a deeper look into Evan's fictional world and the visual world of the show, unreleased lyrics, and of course the libretto, as well as reflections on the creators own formative memories from their adolescence as it relates to the show's themes, and important examinations of how we present ourselves online and mental health, Dear Evan Hansen is a beautifully produced, thoughtful, and uplifting book.

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2018 - AudioFile

Listeners will hear the story of the Broadway musical DEAR EVAN HANSEN in this behind-the-scenes account. Narrator Taylor Trensch takes listeners on a journey that starts with the musicians-lyricists Pasek and Paul meeting in college, where their idea for EVAN HANSEN originated. The story climaxes with their play receiving six Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Trensch’s voice fits the story well. He sounds like he could be one of the young creators or actors in the show. As he tells their stories, he also recounts the stories and enthusiasm of the play’s diehard fans. The hit musical has captivated audiences, and the audiobook, aided by Trensch’s passionate narration, gives listeners an experience to remember. A.G.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
