Student Blog: THE Costumeby Student Blogger: Olivia Noel - May 20, 2021People ask me if I wished I would have been cast as a different character and my answer is always no. I wouldn't trade Valentine for the world because of what he taught me. Though I never thought I'd actually say this, thank you Valentine. If you ever find yourself wearing THE costume, remember it is so much more. This is a character with a soul, a past, a story and it's your job to tell it.

And though I know I will always be in that place of nostalgia, it brings me joy instead of sadness.' Student Blog: Thoughts on the Dear Evan Hansen Film Trailerby Student Blogger: Blake Velick - May 19, 2021The musical was a unique addition to the Broadway lineup since it effectively integrated social media and projection into theatre.
