Popular entertainment has come roaring back on all fronts and is making up for lost time. A lot of Broadway musicals are becoming movies this year, and Dear Evan Hansen joined the fray with a trailer this week. People are excited to see the songs they've loved since the 2016 premiere on the big screen, but there's a small problem: five years is a long time for a musical about high school. Ben Platt, Broadway's original Evan Hansen, is now 27 years old, and isn't very convincing as a teenager, especially because they've touched up his face and hair to make him more so. Twitter wasn't having it, and unsheathed their claws on this attempt to recapture lost time, as we've collected below.
