(A/N: I don't even know why this happened, but here it is. Hell, there aren't even enough characters in Dear Evan Hansen for this. DEH has, what, five teenagers and three adults? While KagePro has eleven kids minimum (their pasts) and at least four adults. This means that I'll have to cut quite a number of Kagepro characters (since Lost Time Memory has a lot of minute characters.) I'm considering making another KagePro crossover/character swap later, but with all if the Big Four musicals maybe.)
Kisaragi Shintaro - Evan Hansen
Route 1 Shintaro - Evan (in Connor's hoodie, unzipped, or without hoodie)
Route XX Shintaro - Evan (in Connor's hoodie, fully zipped)
I've read some DEH discussion forums and apparently Evan's hoodie zips up more as he grows increasingly reclusive/unwilling to connect with others? And I feel like that can be used to parallel the Route 1/Route XX (red tracksuit/ black tracksuit) difference.
Originally that was the only reason why this AU was formed, but then I realized that Evan and Shintaro had a few things in common. Ties to a dead person (Connor, Tateyama), check. (Aforementioned) Character development reflected in outfit, check. Suicidal tendencies (Letting go of the tree, Route XX scissors), check. Signature item from dead person (hoodie, scarf), check. That one annoying friend who's good with electronics (Jared, Ene), check. So hello, half formed AU.Tateyama Ayano - Connor Murphy (the real one)
They're just paralleled because they're both dead. There is literally no other reason for this. Hell, even their personalities are complete opposites! Sorry to disappoint.Azami - Connor Murphy (the one Evan made up in his letters/emails)
I guess here he represents the lies Evan made up? I don't know why, the casting just sounded cool in my head (even though it actually makes no sense.) If you want an alternate timeline where Evan saves Connor's life then we might as well cast Connor as Kuroha too (Shintaro/Evan takes his shot).Ene (Enomoto Takane) - Jared Kleinman
As stated above, they're both annoying kind-of-friends who are good with electronics (backdating emails, literally living on the internet). Shintaro strangles Ene at one point, so that could be used to parallel Evan distancing from Jared after he "runs out of uses" for him. They're both also the type to pretend they don't care when they're actually worrying about things. Finally, something that's closer personality wise.Kisaragi Momo - Zoe Murphy
Zoe does music. End of discussion.
Well, you could also cast her as Kano, given the entirety of Hiding in Your Hands...Kido Tsubomi - Alana Beck
No reason except that she's in charge of the Connor Project (parallel the Mekakushi Dan) and is the sanest of them all.
