Dear Evan Hansen tells the tale of a teenager, now a Senior in high school, who is plagued with major social anxiety and has just one friend. In order to make new friends during his final year in high school, Evan's mother suggests asking his classmates to sign the cast on his arm, which he broke while climbing a tree in the summer. Meanwhile, his therapist recommends he keep a diary in which he writes letters to himself listing the positives of that day in order to mitigate his high anxiety problem. Unfortunately, this task leads to a misunderstanding that throws Evan right in the middle of a tragedy. That being said, he slowly starts gaining new friends as a result. But will he manage to keep up this momentum?

So what's the sitch? Should theatregoers bring tissues to Dear Evan Hansen?

Probably.

Those fortunate enough to have seen the Broadway play have admitted to shedding a tear or two. Some audiences have even claimed of sobbing relentlessly. Regardless of just how much Dear Evan Hansen will make you cry, there is no denying that a highly emotional musical with many sad moments is at play here. The song, 'You Will Be Found', in which Evan sings about his loneliness and friendship with Connor, is regarded by many to be the moment when you'll sob the most.

This has been the burning question for Dear Evan Hansen ever since it won a whopping six Tony Awards. The rumours can now be shut down once and for all as a film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen is definitely highly likely. The film rights to the Benj Pasek and Justin Paul musical were reported last autumn as having been acquired by Universal Pictures. Ben Platt, who originated the role on Broadway and whose performance earned him a Tony Award for Best Actor, is allegedly in early talks to reprise his role for the silver screen. Platt's father, Marc Platt, together with Adam Siegel are also said to be producing the adaptation with Steven Levenson set to pen the screenplay. The Broadway musical's lyricists, Pasek and Paul, will serve as executive producers for the major motion picture.

The cast for West End transfer of Dear Evan Hansen stars Sam Tutty as Evan Hansen, Lucy Anderson as Zoe Murphy, Rebecca McKinnis as Heidi Hansen, Lauren Ward as Cynthia Murphy, Doug Colling as Connor Murphy, Rupert Young as Larry Murphy, Jack Loxton as Jared Kleinman, and Nicole Raquel Dennis as Alana Beck.
