Evan Hansen is an anxious high school senior from New York, his father left him and his mother alone when he was seven and Evan hasn't seen him for more than twelve hours since. His mother Heidi is trying her best to support her son on with the small amount of money she's paid, but Evan hates having her help. She's never at home, and when she is, she's forcing pills down his throat to "help him", but Evan just sees it as she's trying to fix him. Not like anything was broken- Well, after Heidi continuously telling Evan that he had mental issues, his arm became broken. But that was because he fell from a tree when he worked as a ranger...right? Oh, but that isn't all, he's pining on two different boys at school, one is Connor Murphy, one of the scariest people you'll ever meet. And the other is Jared Kleinman, he's Evan's...family friend. And both of them seemingly hate him. How is he supposed to confess to one of them?! How is he even supposed to pick?!
But what happens when Heidi meets a man while at work? What happens when that meeting creates a relationship? How will both of the boys react? Only time will tell...
