Meet Evan Hansen, a barely in the background kind of guy with a voice that can melt hearts. At least that's what his mom says. Suffering from social anxiety, Evan does not have many friends. It's hard for him to do anything without stuttering and the cast on his arm wasn't exactly helping. Meet Connor Murphy the school 'druggie', known for his reputation of being a bad kid. Struggling with depression, Connor rarely gets his way. Although he was a screw up he had one talent, a passion for art. If he could be a little nicer... And Evan can learn to be a little stronger... A friendship between the two begins to form, but what if that bond grew into something more?
