“Dear Evan Hansen” at the Toronto International Film Festival Thursday night, a nagging question kept coming up: Should this thing still be a musical?Mostly, yes.The plot — controversial for many — has always been brilliant.

Because of a miscommunication, the parents of a young student who killed himself are led to believe that Evan (Ben Platt), a high-school misfit, was his best and only friend.

Lonely, depressed, empty Evan decides to play along, and becomes popular and loved by everybody as a result. Then, like Icarus with a Snapchat, he comes crashing down to Earth.Such deviousness — not to mention a complex take on the social media age — doesn’t seem like it would be the perfect canvas for Benj Pasek and Justin Paul’s terrific pop.
