LOUISE

Shy and loyal. Since childhood, she is pushed aside by her mother in favor of her sister June, until she herself becomes her mother's new pet project. Actress must be 18 or over to play this role. Should be able to move well. Minimum actual dance but must have very strong movement skills, strong acting skills needed. Must be able to portray both the awkward teen and a sophisticated woman we know now as Gypsy Rose Lee.

Female presenting, 18-25 

Vocal Range: Mezzo belt (Ab-Eb) 

Plays Baby June as a young teenager. The older she gets, the less she enjoys being her mother's pet project. Must dance very well – tapping a must. The ability to do the splits and twirl a baton is a big plus, but not a requirement. Strong Broadway singer, close harmony skills preferred.

EVAN HANSEN 

Male presenting, high school teenager 

Vocal Range: Pop Tenor (G2-C5) 

A high school senior with social anxiety. Smart, sincere, and excruciatingly self-conscious, 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. He is assigned by his therapist to write letters to himself about why each day will be good, which becomes the catalyst for the plot of the story. 

 

CONNOR MURPHY 

Male presenting, high school teenager 

Vocal Range: Pop Baritone/Tenor (C3-G#4) 

An angry, isolated young man who feels like an outsider among his peers, Connor has been struggling for as long as anyone can remember, often misunderstood and a source of deep concern for his parents.  A classmate of Evan’s and a high school senior who, like Evan, has difficulty connecting with others, Connor eventually takes his own life during Act 1. His ghost appears in Evan's mind throughout the rest of the musical. 

 

JARED KLEINMAN 

Male presenting, high school teenager 

Vocal Range: Pop tenor (D3-B4) 

Evan’s sarcastic and quick-witted friend who masks his own insecurities with humor and a bit of bravado. A little nerdy and a little awkward, he helps Evan and Alana found The Connor Project. 

 

ALANA BECK 

Female presenting, high school teenager 

Vocal Range: Pop soprano (F3-E5, bottom F to E2 above middle C) 

Evan’s earnest and driven classmate. She is constantly seeking out academic and extracurricular opportunities to strengthen her college applications. Ambitious and deeply invested in everything she does, Alana hides a loneliness beneath an ever-present smile and friendliness.
