Do not make me defend Evan bc he did horrible shit butđđ at first making the letters and all wasnât because of popularity. The parents and then other people ASSUMED he was friends, and he didnât know how to tell the mom that her freshly dead son was actually a bully and had no friends. He did know Connor, Connor was literally a bully. So he tried to make the lie just for the parents, but he liked his sister and it just snowballed into keeping the lie for more personal gains later on. Not by sincerely me yet though.

"Is this for the parents or for his sake?" Yes. The lies become not just for Connor's family, but for Evan himself, so he can feel like he had a friend who cared about him. Because in reality, when he jumped off a tall tree and broke his arm, he was alone. There was no one there to get him.

Also Evan, before the show starts, has a broken arm because he tried to commit suicide. By jumping off a really tall tree. Youâll be found is him talking about being found after jumping off the tree and getting to survive. He didnât share the vids, it was filmed and uploaded on youtube without him knowing. One thing about him, its that even when he started to keep the lie for personal gain, it was all about wanting a family bc his was broken (aka the support of connorâs parents) and the sisterâs attention bc he liked her. It was never for popularity (doesnât make it better, but it is an important distinction. He was never comfortable with the lie growing publicly).

I highly suggest listening to âRequiemâ itâs one of my favorite songs from this musical. It doesnât just have beautiful harmonies from Connorâs family, but gives a lot of insight on how Zoe (Connorâs sister) felt about her relationship with him and the complexity of her grief and how the parentsâ perspective differ

Please do a part two where listen to âAnybody Have a Map!â, âDisappearâ, âGood For Youâ and âWaving Through a Windowâ

Dear Evan Hansen:
Mate tried to kill himself by falling from a tree, he's very lonely. His therapist makes him make some letters to himself, and in his last one he talks about dissapearing. One day Connor Murphy passes and ironically signs his cast and then steals his therapist assignment note because it mentioned Connor's Sister, Zoey.
That afternoon Connor kills himself in the woods I think, and Evan's note is taken as his suicide note, which directly connect Evan to Connor's death. This and the fact that he's the only one who signed his cast convince everyone, including Connor's grieving parents, that Connor had a friend, and it was Evan, who decides, first from anxiety and pressure, and then from having something similar to parent figures, to go on with the lie, until it became to tangled to untangle without it falling apart.

Context of For Forever: yes this is the song that Evan sings to Conner's parents but its also supposed to be a song that helps us to sympathise and understand Evan better. He broke his arm when he purposely jumped off a tree so while he is concocting this as a fake story, it is partly his own internal wish too - to have had a friend who would come to him after he broke his arm. That's why even in waving through a window there's that lyric "when you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around do you ever really crash or even make a sound". For forever coming after Waving Through a Window is kind of meant to be a response of sorts where Evan has created this imaginary ideal scenario where there is someone who is with him.

You definitely need to listen to Good For You from DEH too, itâs my fave song from the musical and is so good!

The BROADWAY VERSION OF SINCERELY ME IS SM BETTER RAAHHHHHđđđ

YOU SHOULD REACT TO REQUIEM!!! It shows more of the sister's perspective about Connor's death. And its SO HEARTWRENCHING.

I know the musical has flaws (and the movie even moreso...) but i discovered it when it was preparing for it's Broadway run, and i was in a HELLA DARK place in my life and it was honestly kind of a lifeline to me, so it'll always be important to me

He broke his arm when he jumped off a tree to kill himself and, in For Forever, he is more so saying what he would have liked to have happened. I believe he laid on the ground, all alone, for ages because no buddy came for him or were worried about him or were there for him, and that's why he sounded so emotional when he says "He's come to get me."

more context! basically the reason why Evan started lying in the first place is because of a misunderstanding, Connor's parents thought they were friends because of a letter Evan wrote that Connor took from him (without context it sounded like Connor wrote it to Evan and the parents assumed it was his suicide note) and also because Connor signed his cast.
when Evan tried to clear up that misunderstanding the parents started freaking out saying "no this is all we have left of him" "you must be in shock", Evan went with it to appease them and it snowballed from there

words fail is the most revealing of his mental state, kind of? there's also waving through a window, though

Thereâs a video called â4 Evans sing For Foreverâ w/ the Evans from some of the different broadway adaptations and it is SO GOOD!

It definitely wasn't done maliciously. Evan has some pretty serious anxiety issues and panicked when Connor's grieving parents confronted him. It was a little lie that spiraled completely out of controlâit's a lot more complicated than "Evan is just a horrible person". I recommend looking into the story!

'Words Fail' is heartbreaking - it's when he's found out. You need to listen to this for the best context of his inner world - and 'Good For You' is a favourite as it's the start of his downfall! His mum and friends turning on him! Oh and the opening song 'Anybody have a map?' is also good for context. Thanks for another great reaction - would love another with the rest of the songs. đ
