Amy Adams is joining the cast of the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen!

The story revolves around “Evan Hansen, a high schooler with social anxiety. He unintentionally gets caught up in a lie after the family of a classmate who committed suicide mistakes one of Hansen’s letters for their son’s suicide note.”

The Oscar-nominated actress will play Cynthia Murphy, the mother of Connor, the student who commits suicide, according to Deadline.
