Dear Evan Hansen is a musical about a high school boy with social anxiety who struggles to fit in and doesn't know how to handle his life. his parents are divorced, his mom is struggling with money, and he's juggling school, therapy, and an unrequited crush. His doctor recommends writing positive letters to himself to help him get through the day, but as he prints out a letter at school, the brother (Connor Murphy) of the girl (Zoe) that Evan likes sees Zoe's name on the letter and takes it, thinking Evan wrote it to make fun of him. Connor is depressed and has made some not-great choices, and 2 days later, Connor's parents tell Evan that Connor has passed away and found the letter in his pocket. Evan doesn't know what to say and pretends he was Connor's friend in order to get closer to Zoe, so his family friend Jared helps Evan make backdated emails between Evan and "Connor". A classmate, Alana, shares the emails and starts a website called "The Connor Project" to raise awareness and has Evan give a speech about it. Afterwards, Evan and Zoe start dating, a letter is posted online, people get mad at the Murphys, discrepancies are noticed in the emails, Evan's mom is angry because the Murphys want to give Evan Connor's college fund, Evan confesses and it's all a big mess that will make you sob.
