Evan Hansen has no friends, so her drags himself to school
every day so that he can at least look at object of his unrequited crush. Then comes the misunderstanding the thrusts
Evan into the spotlight and connects with his crush in ways that Evan loves
(because he’s near the girl) and hates (because the whole thing is based on a
lie). Because he has what he thinks he
wants, Evan rolls with the lie, weaving a story that way too many people
believe. How can Evan finally come clean
and tell the truth? What will happen to
his life if he does?
When this landed in my TBR pile, I was surprised to see that
this is a musical. Then I found a friend
had been to New York and watched the musical and loved it! I can only imagine that the music is
incredible, because I have a hard time imagining this being a hit musical. Interesting, but not anywhere near as
compelling as Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe by Preston Norton.
