Bad explaination of the plot of DEH

Start from the beginning
                                        

Okay, don't worry, Sincerely Me is over. I'll stop talking about it now.

Evan gives Connor's mum the fake (and very gay) Emails he made with Jared. Yeah never trust Jared to make something heterosexual.

Zoe tells her mum about how much she hated Connor and then starts to sing about it cause… musical. The whole Murphy family starts singing about Connor. His dad's an arse. Tbh so was Connor, but y'know, that's the point. Zoe finally finished the song by admitting that she is not sad about her brother. Fair.

Requiem is touching but it kinda sucks.

Enter Alana:
"Oh my god, Jared has been telling everyone"
Jared just can't shut up about his boyfriend… 😔

"Dana P was crying so hard at lunch she pulled a muscle in her face"

Evan's mum
"Seems like you and Jared are spending more time together. Honestly, he's a great friend for you"
Honestly Heidi, if only you knew what great "friends" they are.

Okay how has this turned from Dear Evan Hansen's plot badly explained to me just talking about Kleinsen?

Evan goes over to the Murphys' house for dinner rather than his. Arse move.

"It's not, that's what just happens when you're rich and you don't have the job to get crazy"
"My mom always says, it's better to be rich than poor"
"She's probably never been rich then"
"Yeah, you probably never been poor. Oh my god I can't believe I just said that-"

Yes Evan! Now that is the best Evan quote.

Time for the weirdest love song ever; If I Could Tell Her, where Evan essentially confesses his feelings for Zoe under the pretence that it's what her recently deceased brother said about her. Seriously, Evan, that's messed up.

It's actually a pretty catchy song though.

Everything that happens is best summarised by a Jared quote (everything is best summarised by a Jared quote):
"You what? I can't believe you tried to kiss Zoe Murphy on her brother's bed. After he died. Asshole, aren't you gonna say anything?"

He is right though. Wtf Evan.

Jared is making profit off of Connor's death. As you do. But he knows that everyone is going to forget in a couple weeks. A fact Alana doesn't seem to realise.

After a video call with Alana Evan starts talking to Connor. Yes. Connor. DUN DUN DUN. Okay, technically he's actually a figment of Evan's imagination, so no dark plot twist there, but still.

"Says who, Jared? Why are you even talking to Jared about this?"

Oh, Connor, my sweet summer child.

"Umm, Connor Murphy, the kid who threw a printer at Mrs G in the second grade. Or Evan Hansen, the guy who stood outside a jazz band concert trying to talk to Zoe Murphy but his hands were too sweaty"

Fair point. Also Connor starts singing cause… musical… Disappear is a pretty good song, I like it.

Evan creates something called The Connor Project, a project designed to keep people's memories alive. Alana forcefully elects herself Co-president. Jared just sorta shrugs cause he doesn't really care he just wants to make Evan happy. Also he's the only other person who knows Evan is full of shit.

Huh, I forgot Jared sings in Disappear. Not for very long but, still.

Noooo Jared….

I genuinely felt so bad when Alana and Evan kept excluding Jared… like sure he's an arsehole but he's an insecure arsehole who has a crush on you, Evan

I love how Evan gives him a look like "Bro, you seeing this?"

Oh my god, Jared's little nod 😭😭😭

"GREAT IDEA EVAN."
"THANK YOU JARED, NO SWEAT"

Oh no, shit's boutta go down.

Anyway, they tell Connor's family, suggest the Jazz band could do something and make me feel really bad for Jared in the process.

Connor's mum gives Evan a tie so he can look smart for his speech about Connor, which, you guessed it, transitions into another song.

Evan's not having a good time. Put a kid with severe social anxiety on a stage, give him some notes and this is what happens. Anyway, time for probably the most plot relevant (maybe second most) song in the whole musical. You Will Be Found.

Funny how it's followed by possibly the least plot relevant song. To Break In a Glove. Americans and their baseball…
