    The ‘Catch Me If You Can’ actress is coming out of her yearlong break by joining the upcoming big-screen adaptation of Broadway musical about teen suicide.
    Aug 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Amy Adams has signed on to star in the film adaptation of “Dear Evan Hansen” after taking a yearlong vacation.
    The actress took a break in 2019 after a busy prior year with the release of successful film “Vice” and hit television drama “Sharp Objects”, and now she is returning to the big screen in the movie version of the hit eponymous Broadway musical about teen suicide.
    Deadline reports Amy will join Ben Platt, Amandla Stenberg, and Kaitlyn Dever as part of the all-star onscreen line-up for the “Dear Evan Hansen” film. The plot centres around Hansen, a high school student who gets caught up in a massive lie after the family of a teen who committed suicide mistakes one of his letters for a suicide note.
    Amy will play Cynthia Murphy, the mother of the teen who committed suicide, in the movie directed by Stephen Chbosky.
    Talent from the stage play will be resurrected for the “Dear Evan Hansen” film adaptation, with Steven Levenson, who authored the book behind the 2015 Tony Award winning Broadway musical, signing on to write the script for the movie.
    Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the music for the musical, have also been hired to pen songs for the film.

      'Dear Evan Hansen' Creators Support Fight Against 'Systemic Racism' With $100,000 Donation

      by

      Composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, book writer Steven Levenson, director Michael Greif, and producer Stacey Mindich explain their initiative in an open letter to fans.
      Jun 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The creators of the Tony-winning Broadway musical “Dear Evan Hansen” have announced they will donate their time and money “to fight systemic racism against Black people.”
      Composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, book writer Steven Levenson, director Michael Greif, and producer Stacey Mindich wrote an open letter to fans, which was posted on Instagram, announcing a $100,000 donation to two organisations “to help effect change both in our theater community and on a national level.”
      “We have spent the last several days listening to the Black members of our companies, our community, our country, and the world, as they share with us their pain, their suffering, and their heartbreak. These truths, we must admit, are not new. The systemic racism against Black people and communities is not new,” they wrote in the letter.”
      “A theatrical culture in which Black voices have been silenced and erased is not new. And as we mourn the unspeakable losses of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, we recognize that the brutal murder of Black people is not new.”
      As well as donating $50,000 to the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, to sponsor an industry-wide ‘Continuing the Conversation’ Forum in early 2021, and $50,000 to Color of Change, the creators of the musical will be “examining” their own practices and “looking inward, assessing the personnel, policies, and systems of our show at every level, in every department, and at every location.”

      “The shameful reality is that, for all too long, the injustices and inequities endured by our fellow citizens, our peers, and our friends have gone unheard and unheeded. The shameful reality is that none of it is new,” they added. “What must be new is our commitment not merely to listen, but to act, and to act now.”
