But WAIT there's more romance to be had! Platt originated the Evan Hansen role in the then-new Broadway show, starring from 2015 until 2017. Galvin stepped into the role after Platt exited in August 2017, appearing from November 2017 until February 2018. Following Galvin's exit, Evan Hansen has been played by a handful of other actors, most notably Taylor Trensch and Ben Levi Ross, who are also dating now. This show is magic!“I know, it’s so goddamn incestuous," added Galvin while speaking to Levine about his new relationship in connection with the other Evan Hansen couple. "But it makes sense, like, we all went through the war together. We all feel very connected.”[video_embed id='1953464']RELATED: Spider-Man and Ethan Hawke are bringing film fests to your home [/video_embed]The pair have been isolating together along with fellow Broadway actor Kathryn Gallagher, whose father is TV actor Peter Gallagher (most recently seen on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist).
