Several teens are currently dominating the Great White Way, as the last couple of years have shown a notable increase in young performers landing lead roles on Broadway. These roles are incredibly demanding, but actors like 19-year-old Reneé Rapp, 18-year-old Sophia Anne Caruso and 17-year-old Andrew Barth Feldman clearly have the skills to wow audiences eight times a week.

Broadway shows are generally filled with stellar acting, live music and captivating storylines. “Dear Evan Hansen” met and exceeded my expectations. Before seeing the play, I had heard nothing but great things, so being able to finally see it for myself was an exciting experience.
