š What Makes Dear Evan Hansen So Special?
At its core, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply moving story about connection, identity, and the human need to belong. It follows Evan, a socially anxious teenager who finds himself caught in a web of misunderstanding that unexpectedly brings him closer to the life he’s always dreamed of—until he’s faced with a choice that could change everything.
