Dear Evan Hansen started as a stage musical in Washington, DC in 2015 before making it to Broadway the following year. The six-time Tony Award winner has now been adapted into a film, and Oscar-winner Julianne Moore plays Heidi Hansen, the mother of the titular character. For Moore, the opportunity to appear in the film was a real thrill, because she’s been a big fan of the Broadway production, and so have her kids.

That enjoyment's been multiplied now that Moore's starring in the film adaptation.){kind=link}
