Dear Evan Hansen was a hit when it crash-landed on Broadway, taking home Tony awards, Grammys, and more. Now, the hit musical is heading to theaters as a movie musical and we have a new poster of stars Ben Platt, Kaitlyn Deaver, Amy Adams, and more!

Directed by Perks of Being a Wallflower director Stephen Chbosky, the movie has Platt returning to the role of Evan Hansen with a screenplay by Steven Levenson, music from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and more. Marc Platt and Adam Siegel serve as producers while Michael Bederman, Levenson, Pasek, and Paul all are serving as executive producers.

The poster centers itself around Platt as Evan Hansen, much like the musical does. When Conor Murphy (Colton Ryan) dies, a high school is at a loss for what to do and Evan, who never really found a place to belong in the first place and struggles with being alone, falls into a social-media frenzy he wasn't prepared for. Especially when he is getting the attention he wanted and longed for during his high school and young adult life. It's a look at anxiety, isolation, and what the social-media age can do to a young person.

The trailer was released a while back and gave us a glimpse into these characters and how they've changed from stage to screen but the new poster is fascinating. A mosaic of characters, we get to see a bit more of the all-star cast including Julianne Moore, Amandla Stenberg, Danny Pino, and more. It's an interesting Broadway show and seeing how they're promoting the film version is fascinating, especially with this new poster and the glimpses into these characters we're getting on it.

You can see Dear Evan Hansen in theaters on September 24.
