Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another musical episode of As Time Goes By! This week, we are waving through the window by taking a peak at 2021's most talked about musical, Dear Evan Hansen!

Troy takes charge and goes solo as he commentates on this very strange adaption of a popular musical. We discuss cinematic motifs, articulate on choices made by the cast and crew, and really dive into theories ranging from Ben Platt looking like a Muppet to how to fix this insanely contrived but complex movie musical. “Maybe, someday, some other kid is going to be standing here, staring out at the trees, feeling alone, wondering if maybe the world might look different from all the way up there. Better. Maybe he’ll start podcasting, one pod at a time, and he’ll keep going, even when it seems like he can’t find another guest."

This film deals with complex emotional issues like social anxiety, depression, and suicide. Below are links should you feel you or someone you know needs help. We like to have fun on this podcast, but know fully that you are not alone:
