“The Anonymous Ones” from the “Dear Evan Hansen” movie, reminds us that everyone has their own struggles and insecurities and fears, even people who seem to have it all together. The song’s message is that when we open up to each other, we realize how much we can help one another just by being there for each other. This number, written specially for the film, occurs during a scene when Alana (Amandla Stenberg) calls out Evan (Ben Platt) for having social anxiety and confides that she, too, is on antidepressants. She sees herself, Evan, and Connor (Colton Ryan) as kindred spirits and pitches Evan to join her charitable foundation using Connor’s suicide to raise awareness of mental health.
As a part of our “Broadway and Beyond” virtual series, and funded in part by Florida Arts & Culture, this performance is in reflection of Suicide Prevention Month and Mental Health Awareness Day. It is a staggering statistic that every 40 seconds someone takes their own life. Please call 800-273-8255 if you ever feel like you need to disappear because someone is there to help.
