    In Dear Evan Hansen, Will Roland makes his Broadway debut as the wisecracking high school internet whiz Jared Kleinman. His scene-stealing turn infuses the gut-wrenching musical with a great deal of comedy, especially in his big number, "Sincerely, Me." Audiences will be pleased to find out that Roland's personality offstage isn't too far off from his sharply sarcastic onstage persona, as we learned on a recent tour of the Music Box Theatre.

    "Don't stick your fingers in there!" "Master electrician, star of Dear Evan Hansen" "It's almost like I can see Hamilton but I can't" "This is a cabinet" "I won it at the 54 Below booth because I'm a winner" WILL ROLAND IS THE BEST
