Just like in the film, the musical's immersive story begins with a death notice that becomes the starting point for Fanny Zander's search for her roots. Together with their faithful, extravagant companion Zac, they leave the nightclub life of Berlin to make their way home to the small village of Yxared, located deep in the forests of Västgoth. Their grand entrance into the small community becomes a culture clash that stirs up emotions among the villagers but also creates new, lifelong bonds.

It tells the story of young Evan Hansen, whose quest for belonging and affirmation leads him down a complex path filled with challenges and discoveries. Evan goes to High School where he has a hard time finding his place. He suffers from social anxiety, has no friends and those around him see him as strange.
