‘Dear Evan Hansen’ star now owns $2M West Side pad — Page 2

is it even clear this is intended as a residence?

Is this near a Panda Express?

Depends what you consider close. Closest one is the one in Hell's Kitchen. They'd deliver up there pretty quick.

With all due respect, this is only of interest for people who live way outside the New York area. The typical two bedroom apartment costs about this much. Real estate is crazy here. We're talking about a very powerful wealthy family who buys a place for there 24 year old son. This is probably a cash sale from a family trust. The real story would be if he got a 50 million dollar apartment which would be a bit hubristic. This takes nothing away from the fact that we are talking about a very talented and by all accounts well grounded young man who appears to be quite humble considering his wealthy LA roots.

Why do we have to drag daddy into this? Do we not think he is successful and talented enough to make his own money and own his own home?

Not on a Broadway actor’s salary. Heck, many successful NY stage actors have gone on record (including Jane Krakowski, Bebe Neuwirth and Martha Plimpton) to say it wasn’t until they landed a role in a long-running TV series were they able to FINALLY purchase a NY apartment. Something they never thought would be a reality to them even after years working on Broadway.

Hmm I spoke to a pretty well known Broadway name at the stage door and he joked about how he and his wife lived in a "closet studio." This guy's not a swing or backup ensemble guy. He's been nominated for Tony's before. NYC real estate is insane.

Um, that closed almost 5 years ago.
