Disney Star Jordan Fisher Takes Takes on Title Role In ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ on Broadway
Disney fans will recognize Jordan Fisher from awesome Disney shows like Liv and Maddie, for his winning turn on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars or as one of the voices of the Happily Ever After themed song for Magic Kingdom’s Dazzling nighttime spectacular. But where here to share the news that Jordan Fisher has returned to Broadway for a mighty role- as the title character in Dear Evan Hansen!
Fisher’s made his first performance in Evan Hansen on January 28th but he’s no stranger to Broadway! He made his debut in the Pulitzer-Prize-winning musical Hamilton alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The actor, who was also the Season 25 champion on Dancing with the Stars, joins the Broadway company for a 16-week engagement.
Here’s a look at Fisher recording the theme song for “Happily Ever After”
Dear Evan Hansen is currently one of the biggest shows on Broadway just now and is a multiple Tony winner. According to a piece in Playbill.com, “it tells the story of sensitive high school student caught at the center of a story that spirals out of control.”
“Evan Hansen is a 16-course meal for an actor. The complexity of this boy is akin to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in my opinion,” said Fisher “I doubt I’ll ever forget the first time I sat in the Music Box to see it, and the idea of being a part of that memory for others is mind-blowing. I’m so honored to join this amazing company.”
Fisher isn’t the only Disney star bringing their skills to Broadway. Over the weekend we reported that Girl Meets World star Sabrina Carpenter is head to the Great White Way in March where she’ll be staring in Tina Fey’s Mean Girls.
