    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The vocal performances in the film were recorded almost entirely live on set, specifically to ensure that Ben Platt's vocals sounded as real and authentic as possible when he sings on screen.
    • Goofs
      In "Requiem" when Zoe is driving during the first close up of the speedometer, the speed can be seen increasing while the vehicle gear indicator suddenly changes to "P" and "R".
    • Quotes

      Evan Hansen: [from trailer] If you knew who I am, how broken I am.

      Heidi Hansen: [from trailer] I already know you. And I love you.

    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo appears at the beginning of the film itself, underscored by the opening three-note motif from "Waving Through a Window," which is played at a slower tempo. The logo does not appear on the film's trailer and TV spots.

    Engrossing
    The story is very engrossing. The psychological burden Evan has to bear is unimaginable, and this connects viewers with him. I think the story is beautiful in one way, but cruel as well.

    FAQ9

    • We all know that Ben Platt playing Evan was a no brainer, but none of the other original cast members from the musical, other than Colton Ryan, were cast. Why was that?
    • Where can I watch the Dear Evan Hansen movie?
    • Will there be new songs?
