Val-- My question deals with the acknowledgements at the end of the book. I have been familiar with "Dear Evan Hansen" since its conception, i.e. one of my good friends is Dr. Patricia Dreyfuss, the mother of Laura Dreyfuss, who played the role of Zoe in the Original Broadway cast. Therefore I wonder why you did not "Thank" Ms. Dreyfuss ? I hope the next edition will include her name. Laura Cobrinik, Boonton, NJ

Val Emmich Hi Laura, I had my own section in the acknowledgements of the book and the creators of the musical had their own separate section. My thank yous were directed to those who aided me in writing the book. I have nothing to do with the musical and have no knowledge of the personnel involved with the musical other than its 3 creators, so your question would have to be directed to the creators of the show. Thanks, Val
