"[The] cast is exceptional, led by Michael Fabisch, who brings both vulnerability and a stunning vocal performance to Evan, the overly apologetic teen who just wants to be noticed."

"As you’d expect from a national tour, the performances in this production were outstanding, with the cast bringing a vulnerability to their roles that brought this morally complex story to life."

"'Hansen' is a small musical with just eight actors, but it doesn’t lose its intimacy on the Ordway’s large stage. That’s partly because of Michael Hopewell’s deft and briskly conducted orchestra, Japhy Weideman’s lighting, Peter Nigrini’s projections, and, especially, this cast."

"The supporting cast is equally remarkable. The performances by the actors playing Heidi - Evan’s mother (Bre Cade), Connor Murphy (Alex Pharo), and Zoe Murphy (Hatty Ryan King) adds complexity to the story."

"Like [Michael] Fabisch, you’d never realize that [Gabriel Vernon] Nunag is making his professional debut. Another perfect casting decision."

"Jeff Brooks and Caitlin Sams were perfect casting for the Murphy parents."
