DEAR EVAN HANSEN
Associate Sound Design and production continuity for a landmark contemporary Broadway musical.
Opened December 4, 2016
— DEAR EVAN HANSEN connects Jessica's associate sound design practice to one of the defining contemporary Broadway musicals of its era.
METHOD
Associate Sound Design; Broadway, tour, and international support
Show Control
Support a contemporary musical where technology and emotional exposure sit at the center of the story.
Working in the sound design practice led by Nevin Steinberg, Jessica’s associate work on DEAR EVAN HANSEN supported the Broadway production and the care required as the musical moved through tours and international productions.
The craft is in preserving intimacy and vocal clarity inside a musical where technology, isolation, public attention, and vulnerability are part of the sound world.
Pre-Production
Production archive, associate design practice, and long-running musical continuity
Every voice sits inside a world of microphones, screens, memory, and public/private collapse, so clarity has to feel personal rather than exposed.
Listening with intention here means preserving emotional clarity inside a highly mediated musical world.
Associate Design Practice
The process includes Broadway associate design responsibilities, production maintenance, transfers, tours, and the careful communication needed to keep a contemporary musical emotionally consistent across rooms.
Associate design becomes production continuity: sustaining the design across venues and continents, and maintaining the shape of a large musical over time.
Not just heard, but honored: the design must frame each voice without overwhelming the person behind it.
Closeness and Clarity
A contemporary musical system shaped around intimacy, scale, and the responsibility of carrying emotional clarity to every seat.
Dear Evan Hansen shows Jessica’s precision as a collaborator inside a high-profile musical production built on continuity, clarity, and care.
Project Images
Some stories need sound to bring the audience closer, not make the world larger.
Recognition
Associate sound design across Broadway, tour, and international production life, supporting a contemporary musical language built around vocal intimacy and emotional clarity.
DEAR EVAN HANSEN — Associate Sound Design
Dear Evan Hansen is a landmark contemporary Broadway musical. Jessica’s associate sound design credit belongs within a broader story of production care, collaboration, and emotional clarity from room to room.
A landmark musical production that shows Jessica’s precision as a collaborator, associate designer, and keeper of contemporary Broadway sound.
