returns in his Tony-winning titular role in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical hit created by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
“Dear Evan Hansen” follows Evan Hansen, an anxious and isolated high school student who writes letters to himself. Evan’s classmate Connor Murphy gets a hold of one of his letters and dies by suicide with the note in his pocket, leading Connor’s parents to believe it was a suicide note addressed to Evan. Soon, Evan gets caught in a complicated lie, pretending to have been Connor’s friend and forming a fabricated relationship with the Murphy family.
Despite several movie releases being pushed back because of the COVID-19 pandemic, “Dear Evan Hansen” will likely keep its September date due to an early premium video-on-demand pact between Universal and cinema chains AMC and Cinemark. Under the agreement, the studio can debut new movies on home entertainment after 17 days without fear that major theater circuits will boycott.
“Dear Evan Hansen” opened on Broadway in December 2016 and quickly became a fan-favorite. The musical also dominated the awards circuit, taking home six Tony Awards, including best musical and best actor in a musical for Platt. The original Broadway cast album, which includes the catchy songs “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through a Window” and “Sincerely, Me,” also won a Grammy.
Platt looks like a guy who would be arrested if he were hanging out at a real high school. (Probably should have recast.)
Okay I know Ben platt's real age but he does not look his real age in this trailer and it's astounding and wonderful and all of the haters need to STFU.
Amy Adams and Julianne Moore look wonderful in this! Can’t wait to see how they play Cynthia and Heidi! And yes I will probably scream out loud when they sing Anybody Have A Map together!

So, judging by the comments about Ben Platt's age, this is looking like 'How Do You Do, Fellow Kids: The Musical.'

ITS HAPPENING YESSS
Hello dear person, I hope no one will be in this situation I need help, I do not work due to the epidemic, I have bank debt and we are in trouble with my family, help for God's sake
I love Ben, I know he originated the role on Broadway but dude,he looks so ill trying to portray a teenager. Recast would have been understood and was needed
Looks great, first three reactions were: 1. Huge loss not having Will Roland as Jared. He was perfect in the stage show, he should be here. 2. Looking forward to the inevitable discourse about if Evan Hansen is a bad person (spoilers: yes he is). 3. Thank God no James Corden.
Epic!! I can’t wait for this!! Ben Platt, You are everything! Thank you for Evan. ❤️
No

Why does he look gross?
MasterAsh_live BABE
idkpas
Brynneee_ I’m very excited for this!
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
But actually what the fuck did they do to his face?
Oh god of COURSE it's being made into a movie!!!!
Ah yes, this almost 30 year old high schooler. Yeah, I know Ben Platt originated the role and he's still great but it still feels a little strange (also, Connor's step dad? That seems like an odd change). Anyway, looking forward to watching
This is THE year for musicals! Come From Away, Dear Evan Hanson, West Side Story, In The Heights, everything!

They’ve spent a lot on de ageing but he deserves to get to play the role on screen.
Stoppp im so excited
OMG paolamazlum
Give the CGI team the Oscar for making Ben Platt look 17.
We have to see it!!! mwill555
Ben Platt:
deb_marieRN
Woo
This is more embarrassing than Nicole Kidman as Lucy. Can they just not cast remotely age-appropriate actors? I get that he’s a decade younger than he looks but even on paper he’s far too old.
Since Broadway is reopening - I actually bought tickets to see the show again at the Music Box - even though I knew the film would be out in sept. Looking forward to both!
for some reason I didnt think ben platt would be playing evan?
OMG we're actually getting a dear evan hansen movie? WOOOO
Is this Evan going undercover to bust up a high school drugs ring?
i’ll pass but u guys enjoy
The new season of the Politician looks great...
DearEvanHansen highlights the problem with the new shorter theatrical window as will open with less than $45m so available to go on PVOD after 17 days, but likely to have long legs due to the huge popularity of the stage show, this is why a flexible individual window was needed
isn't ben platt 40?
Love it when the whole movie ends up in the trailer.
WHAT!!!!!!! OH MY GOD, DEFINITELY WILL CRY 😭😭😭😭
