    Edit
    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Goofs
      In "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 credits
      The 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.

    See it on stage

    As someone who loved the show on stage (3 times), the film is especially disappointing. While the play had vitality and humor to balance it's deeply moving content, nearly every scene in the film leans into the mournful tone until the highs and lows become one long low.

    And while the characters on stage were flawed people barely struggling to keep it together, Platt, Moore and Adams all seem oddly self-possessed.

    If you haven't seen it on stage, please do.
