“Dear Evan Hansen. I really like the good lesson of other people having different stories than the main character because it really shows that everyone is different and has different circumstances in their lives.  I liked how there’s more than one main character.  It wasn’t just all about Evan Hansen. I mean, yeah, he messed up, and he had to fix that, but it was also about a popular kid who was not perfect, so it really encompassed other people in it.”
