Oscar-winner Julianne Moore will be stepping into the shoes of Heidi Hansen – loving mother to the titular character – in the new film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen.
The film follows the high school student – who is plagued with social anxiety – and his unintended involvement in the aftermath of a classmate’s suicide.
The Broadway musical achieved critical acclaim back in 2016, winning over 10 awards, including six Tony Awards, and a Grammy.
Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to the musical back in 2018 but news of casting has been sparse, up until this year.
