Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe vocal performances in the film were recorded almost entirely live on set, specifically to ensure that Ben Platt's vocals sounded as genuine and authentic as possible when he sang on screen.
- GoofsIn "Requiem" when Zoe is driving during the first close up of the speedometer, the speed can be seen increasing while the vehicle gear indicator suddenly changes to "P" and "R".
- Quotes
Evan Hansen: [from trailer] If you knew who I am, how broken I am.
Heidi Hansen: [from trailer] I already know you. And I love you.
- Crazy creditsThe Universal logo appears at the beginning of the film itself, underscored by the opening three-note motif from "Waving Through a Window," which is played at a slower tempo. The logo does not appear on the film's trailer and TV spots.

An Unkind Camera Works Against the Overlong Film Version
It's a shame when you see a Broadway show that worked so well on stage and then watch it choke on screen. It's not a complete misfire as director Stephen Chbosky provides a faithful adaptation here, but the intimacy of the camera works against the more stylized elements of the story including how the songs get inserted into the narrative. It's true that Ben Platt is too old for the role now, and he accentuates Evan's awkwardness in a way the camera magnifies uncomfortably. The central conceit of the story still stings, but it plays out way too long despite a stellar supporting cast that includes Julianne Moore and Amy Adams. Both actresses can really sing with Moore beautifully nailing her solo, "So Big/So Small".
