Current Dear Evan Hansen stars Taylor Trensch and Alex Boniello take on “Disappear” from the Tony-winning musical in the video above. The performance celebrates Mental Health Awareness Month and concludes with the message, “You Still Matter.” Ben Cohn penned the arrangement of the Benj Pasek-Justin Paul tune.
Boniello, who previously appeared on Broadway as the voice of Moritz in Deaf West's Spring Awakening, joined the cast of Dear Evan Hansen May 15 in the role of Connor Murphy. Hello, Dolly! alum Trensch officially took his first bow as Evan Hansen February 6. The actor succeeded Noah Galvin in the role created by Tony winner Ben Platt.
Dear Evan Hansen features a score by the Tony- and Oscar-winning songwriting team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight, A Christmas Story), a book by Tony winner Steven Levenson (Masters of Sex), choreography by Danny Mefford (Fun Home), and direction by multiple Tony nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, If/Then).
