Dear Evan Hansen, Roblox, and Bored Ape Vouch Launch NFTs
Elena Rahman — May 17, 2022 — Tech
Dear Evan Hansen teamed up with Roblox and Bored Ape NFTs to launch a campaign in support of children's mental health. The award-winning Broadway musical also partnered with Blueberry Entertainment to bring elements of the film to the NFT series.
The musical film explores the story of Evan Hansen and his struggles with social anxiety. The character's distinctive blue-striped polo shirt will be featured in the NFT launch and available through Roblox's metaverse platform. As of May 13th, Roblox players will be able to purchase the iconic blue shirt for their avatars to wear in-game. In addition, all sale proceeds from the polo shirts will be donated to the Child Mind Institute, a U.S.-based non-profit dedicated to supporting children affected by mental illnesses.
