I fully concur with all this. I think DEAR EVAN HANSEN will run about three, three and a half years. Without the Tony, I think its run would have looked a lot like NEXT TO NORMAL or SPRING AWAKENING, roughly a 2 year healthy run. I think the Tony added another year.
Personally, I think that the over-the-top pull quotes for BOOK OF MORMON help it out in a huge way, but the cast recording has sold surprisingly well. If it can manage to pull off a screen adaptation, it'll extend that run even further.
