Dear Evan Hansen Is Singing Its Way To Blu-ray, Digital, And DVD

Good news musical fans: Dear Evan Hansen is coming to digital and Blu-ray. The film adaptation of the 2015 stage musical of the same name was released in September of this year.

The film was directed by Steven Chbosky who is the author of the Young Adult novel, The Perks of Being a Wallpaper, which he later adapted into a film in 2012. Ben Platt, who originated the role of Evan Hansen in the broadway play, returned to the role for a final time for the 2021 film. Dear Evan Hansen also features a star-studded cast that includes Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Kaitlyn Dever, Amandla Stenberg who previously starred in The Hate U Give, Nik Dodani, Colton Ryan, Danny Pino, and DeMarius Copes.

Dear Evan Hansen follows Ben Platte as Evan Hansen, an isolated and lonely high school student who seeks to be understood and accepted in a world dominated by the particular cruelty of social media. The film features music from the Oscar, Grammy, and Tony-winning songwriting duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, including two brand new songs and the signature song from the play, “You Will Be Found.”
