    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.

    My expectations were definitely lowered
    Perhaps it's because I haven't seen the stage musical, but I don't understand why there is so much hatred toward Dear Evan Hansen. Sure, it's a little sappy, and some of the musical numbers feel a little jarring when they begin, but overall I liked this movie. I think the story is engaging and the performances (yes, even Ben Platt's) are well done. I'd like to see the musical one day. However, in the meantime, I was glad to meet Evan Hansen and learn his story.

    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?
