Kaitlyn Dever in Talks To Star in ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ Movie Adaptation

There is literally no musical that has moved me as much as Dear Evan Hansen. The story will tear you apart.

The musical is being adapted to film and Ben Platt is expected to reprise his role in the film adaptation. Stephen Chbosky will direct.

Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of a young man with social anxiety disorder who so yearns to make a connection with his peers that he fabricates a relationship with a deceased student to become closer to the boy’s family.

Kaitlyn Dever is in talks for the female lead in the movie musical adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen.

The script is by Steve Levenson, who wrote the book adaptation for the stage musical.

We’d be down for this. Would you like to see the movie adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen?
