An original musical that explores the poignant desire for human connection in the tumultuous life of one young man. Evan is shy, lonely, and bullied for it―teeming with the irrepressible emotions all too familiar with anyone who's ever been a teenager. After a tragedy strikes, Evan's life suddenly gets turned around, but is it ultimately for the better?
High school senior Evan Hansen has been given the chance of a lifetime- to belong. When the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy took his own life, he did so in possession of a letter Evan had written to himself. Now everyone thinks they were best friends. As he helps Connor's family deal with their grief, it's clear that Evan isn't invisible anymore - even to the girl of his dreams. Every day is suddenly amazing. But Evan is soon pulled deeper into Connor's family's swirl of anger, regret, and confusion. And then everything starts to go wrong . . .
