When a letter that was never meant to be seen by anyone draws high school senior Evan Hansen into a family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong. He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell: that the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend. Suddenly, Evan isn't invisible anymore - even to the girl of his dreams. And Connor Murphy's parents, with their beautiful home on the other side of town, have taken him in like he was their own, desperate to know more about their enigmatic son from his closest friend.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich with Justin Paul, Steven Levenson and Benji Pasek, read by Ben Levi Ross, Mike Faist and Mallory Bechtel. When a letter that was never meant to be seen by anyone draws high school senior Evan Hansen into a family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong. He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell, that the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend. 

Ein nie für die Öffentlichkeit bestimmter Brief lässt Evan Hansen als besten Freund seines toten Mitschülers Connor erscheinen. Dieses Missverständnis eröffnet dem Außenseiter Evan die Chance, endlich dazuzugehören. Plötzlich steht er im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit – sogar der von Connors attraktiver Schwester. Doch der Preis für die Lüge ist hoch: Sein Geheimnis kann jederzeit auffliegen. Und dann würde er nicht nur alles verlieren, sondern müsste sich seiner größten Herausforderung stellen: sich selbst.

Da den rodløse high school-elev Evan Hansen ved et tilfælde får fingrene i et brev, der aldrig skulle have nået hans vej, får han sit livs chance for endelig at høre til. Det kræver bare, at han holder en skamfuld løgn ved lige. Familien Murphy må få alt i verden ikke opdage, at Evan ikke var bedste venner med den søn de på tragisk vis mistede i en ulykke. Desperate for at lære deres gådefulde afdøde søn bedre at kende tager familien Evan ind som deres egen. Men som deres relation bliver dybere, begynder Evan at indse, at han måske har gang i noget helt forkert.
