Transcription for The creators of Broadway's 'Dear Evan Hansen' create a novel for teenagers facing anxiety
Thanks, Andre. An important message for parents and teenagers of the creator of the hit musical "Dear Evan Hansen". They are turning it into a novel to open a dialogue about the depression of social networks and how to overcome it. We'll talk to them in a moment. First, a look at the phenomenon "Dear Evan Hansen". It is the successful Broadway musical with a powerful message. ??? Friends to take you? Reporter: "Dear Evan Hansen" has been an amazing public for more than a year and his focus on struggles for adolescent mental health has sparked vital conversations in homes across the country. young adults. Face adolescent suicide, anxiety and depression head on. Subjects so difficult to discuss with their children, but they are becoming more urgent than they are. Today, almost one in three teenagers suffer from some type of anxiety disorder, but almost 80% of them do not receive the treatment they need. I hope readers get the same thing as the spectators of the show, feeling that they are less alone in their solitude. They are like many others and that produces a connection. One of the most important things we can all do with regard to teen suicide or adolescent mental health problems is to create a space where people can talk about these things. Reporter: The creative team behind "Dear Evan Hansen" expects readers to see themselves or someone they know in the story and feel more comfortable talking. ??? You will be found ??? And we are joined by two of the creators of "Dear Evan Hansen", Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, thank you for coming today. All good. Thanks for the show You know, my family saw it several months ago and not only did it have a great soundtrack, but it really created a conversation for our family on all these topics. I know that is a great goal for you. Really is. We have heard so much interest that they come with their children or with their parents and they feel that a dialogue starts and that is what we wanted to do with that. Enter the world of adolescents, the world in which they live every day that is separated from what we live as parents. Yes, exactly. We try to whitewash a program that talks about how it is to be alive at this moment and communicate and have all these means of communication, text messages, email, whatever, and yet we all have this kind of sense of loneliness. More isolated than ever, but more connected than ever. That is the dirty secret of social networks. It's. We see the lives of everyone else and we feel like this perfectly curated version of my life on Instagram, but you're not seeing what's outside that little box and I think when we see the perfect lives of others we feel like I'm not part. of that. I am on the sidelines of something and create this sense of loneliness that we do not really talk about as much as we should. I do not think this has happened for a musical turned into a novel. Yes, for all we know, maybe it's the first time it happens and we're very excited about the adaptation that normally works the other way, but it should seem the right thing to convey the story to people. You know, right now, people can watch the show on Broadway and the national tour. Those are two places every night around the world and, to get this book to be in the hands of people of all ages around the world, that was our goal to let you get this story. You know there is a market for that and we need it because of the response you receive to the show every night. Yes absolutely. When people arrive, the type of letters we have received or the type of notes and messages that people think we are talking about took elements that are taboo, I think they can see the people that represent what they feel, this kind of sense. Disconnection or isolation or difficult conversations to have. When you see it on stage or read it in a book, you feel more comfortable approaching those with your children, parents and we hope they can create a dialogue that they did not have before. You already made a difference. This will do much more. Thank you so much guys. I'm bringing this home.
