myntop 's review for:

Dear Evan Hansen by Steven Levenson, Justin Paul, Benj Pasek, Val Emmich
4.0

My daughter wanted me to read her copy of the screenplay before we go see the show in February. I was eager to go ahead and read it, even though I was a little nervous to read a screenplay for the first time since High School! I found it was very easy to get into the story in spite of the differences between a screenplay and a novel.

There are some very emotional parts in this story, so those not familiar with the subject matter should educate themselves and be aware prior to reading or seeing the show. I was impressed with the way this story approached the subject and the view points shown. I can see why it's so widely popular.

I really liked the way the story ended with some perspective of what happened and the choices that were made. I'm even more excited to see the show now!
