Friendship in Dark Mode: Dear Evan Hansen Stops in at the Majestic Theatre
First, Evan Hansen does not think today will be a great day, and he says why in the note that he prints at school. Connors parents interpret the note as written to Evan from Connor, and it doesnt help that Connor prominently signed the cast on Evans arm. The idea that Connor was anyones friend particularly baffles his sister Zoe, who remembers only his intimidation and yelling. In a further complication: Evan has long been in love with Zoe from afar, and said as much in Connors letter. Evan (meta)theatrically creates a deep friendship that the audience gets to see played out onstage.
