What is Dear Evan Hansen about?
Dear Evan Hansen is a cautionary tale about how a lie can spread across a community long before the truth even has a look in.

So much so, that when his classmate Connor commits suicide after suffering from depression, a mysterious suicide note appears in the weeks after, seemingly addressed to Evan.
