Noah Galvin in Dear Evan Hansen

Hello everyone! It's Evan and I've returned to share another blog post with you all, this one being about Noah Galvin.

Recently, Ben Platt played his final

Laura Dreyfuss, Noah Galvin

performance in Dear Evan Hansen and Noah Galvin was cast as his replacement. This has sparked controversy in the Broadway community because Noah has said some problematic things in an interview with Vulture. While I do think that some of the things he said in that interview were uncalled for, I do think that everyone deserves a second chance, which is something that Dear Evan Hansen teaches. Noah has apologized for the things that he has said which should make up for the offense he's caused. It's one thing to not say anything at all and it's another thing to take responsibility for the things you've done, which is something that Noah has bravely done. While I haven't seen Noah perform in the show, I did see his performance on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and I thought he was great. He has a great voice and it's so fitting for Evan Hansen. While it's okay to dislike Noah as a person, it's not okay to create hate accounts towards him on social media because of his performance. Saying that "you miss Ben Platt" or that "the casting directors could have done better" is not a reason to spread hate towards Noah. In fact, not only is that something Dear Evan Hansen shines a light on, but you shouldn't spread hate towards him at all, just keep your negative opinions to yourself.

To the people who are spreading hate towards Noah, I hope that you learned something from reading this. Thank you so much for reading, keep conquering the stage!
