Dear Evan Hansen

“An honest and original story for those lost and then found.”

A letter Evan Hansen (Ben Platt) wrote to himself, as a therapist told him to, gets found in the pocket of a classmate who has just died. The boy's parents, including Cynthia Murphy (Amy Adams), read it as their son's last message, and Evan, too anxious to correct them, lets them. Stephen Chbosky follows him as the Murphys fold him into their grief and he keeps saying yes.
