THE Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt is back as the anxious high schooler Evan Hansen.
The generation-defining Broadway phenomenon becomes a soaring cinematic event as Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner reprises his iconic role as an anxious, isolated high schooler aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social-media age.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Wonder), the film is written for the screen by the show’s Tony winner Steven Levenson with music and lyrics by the show’s Oscar®, Grammy and Tony-winning songwriting team of Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman).
As reflected in the first trailer, the events in the movie kick off when Hansen is instructed by his therapist to write a letter to himself. Hansen’s classmate Connor is then found having died by suicide with Hansen’s letter on him – meaning Connor’s parents mistakenly conclude that the letter was written by Connor as a final note.
The trailer, released on Tuesday, prominently features “You Will Be Found”, one of the breakout titles from the original musical, with Platt singing its lead vocals.
Featuring other Grammy winning songs, including “Waving Through a Window,” “For Forever” and “Words Fail,” Dear Evan Hansen stars six-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams, Oscar® winner Julianne Moore, Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Colton Ryan (Apple TV+’s Little Voice), Nik Dodani (Netflix’s Atypical), DeMarius Copes (Broadway’s Mean Girls) and Danny Pino (NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit).
Dear Evan Hansen will soon open in Philippine cinemas from Universal Pictures.
