Synopsis
Evan Hansen struggles to find his place in high school. Living with social anxiety, he feels invisible.
When a classmate takes his own life, a misunderstanding leads the family to believe that their son and Evan were close friends. Evan chooses not to correct them—and instead sees a chance to finally fit in.
As he grows closer to the family, Evan delivers a heartfelt speech at a memorial service. When the speech goes viral on social media, Evan suddenly becomes somebody. But how long can you live a lie?
