One of the more upbeat songs on the soundtrack, and probably the only one you could call comedic, “Sincerely, Me” is a song that follows Evan and his friend Jared starting to create fake emails between Evan and Connor.
The idea stemmed from Evan blurting out that he and Connor had been emailing eac...
[CONNOR]
Dear Evan Hansen
We've been way too out of touch
Things have been crazy
And it sucks that we don't talk that much
But I should tell you that I think of you each night
I rub my nipples and start moaning with delight
[EVAN, spoken]
Why would you write that?
[JARED, spoken]
I'm just trying to tell the truth.
[EVAN, spoken]
This needs to be perfect. These emails have to prove that we were actually friends. Just—I'll do it.
[CONNOR, sung]
I've gotta tell you, life without you has been hard
[JARED, spoken]
Hard?
[CONNOR]
Has been bad
[JARED, spoken]
Bad?
[CONNOR]
Has been rough
[JARED, spoken]
Kinky!
[CONNOR]
And I miss talking about life and other stuff
[JARED, spoken]
Very specific.
[EVAN, spoken]
Shut up!
[CONNOR]
I like my parents
[JARED, spoken]
Who says that?
[CONNOR]
I love my parents
But each day's another fight
If I stop smoking drugs
Then everything might be alright
[JARED, spoken]
Smoking drugs?
[EVAN, spoken]
Just fix it!
[CONNOR]
If I stop smoking crack
[EVAN, spoken]
Crack?!
[CONNOR]
If I stop smoking pot
Then everything might be alright
I'll take your advice
I'll try to be more nice
I'll turn it around
Wait and see
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It’s easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely, Me
[JARED, spoken]
Are we done yet?
[EVAN, spoken]
Well I can't just give them one email. I want to show that I was, like, a good friend, you know?
[JARED, spoken]
Oh my god.
[EVAN, sung]
Dear Connor Murphy,
Yes, I also miss our talks
Stop doing drugs
Just try to take deep breaths and go on walks
[JARED, spoken]
No.
[EVAN]
I'm sending pictures of the most amazing trees
[JARED, spoken]
No!
[EVAN]
You'll be obsessed with all my forest expertise
[JARED, spoken]
Absolutely not.
[EVAN]
Dude, I'm proud of you
Just keep pushing through
You're turning around
I can see
[CONNOR]
Just wait and see!
[EVAN & CONNOR]
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It’s easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely, Me
[CONNOR]
My sister's hot
[EVAN, spoken]
What the hell!
[JARED, spoken]
My bad.
[CONNOR]
Dear Evan Hansen,
Thanks for every note you send
[EVAN]
Dear Connor Murphy,
I'm just glad to be your friend
[EVAN & CONNOR]
Our friendship goes beyond
Your average kind of bond
[EVAN]
But not because we're gay
[CONNOR]
No, not because we're gay
[EVAN & CONNOR]
We're close, but not that way
The only man that I love is my dad
[CONNOR]
Well anyway!
[EVAN]
You're getting better every day
[CONNOR]
I'm getting better every day
[EVAN & CONNOR]
Keep getting better every day
[ALL]
Hey hey hey hey!
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It’s easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely
[EVAN & CONNOR]
Miss you dearly
[ALL]
Sincerely, Me
[EVAN]
Sincerely, Me
[ALL]
Sincerely, Me
Sincerely, Me

The scene: Arena Stage—2015—the three of us writers huddle in the back of the theater holding our collective breath as this song, the biggest tonal risk in the show, begins. We have no idea if the audience will be OK with us having Connor come back into the story this way. We get to the ‘nipples’ li...
