What is Dear Evan Hansen about?

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?
