After two hours of watching a lie build and build and watching how Evan's stories inform the grieving of those around him, do we get more than two seconds of consideration of the consequences Evan's actions have had on other people like the Murphys? I always said I want to see the sequel to DEH more than the play itself.
Instead, the show waves away the consequences with a deus ex sulk-ina about how Evan is a sadboi who can't handle consequences so everyone just magically gets over it off stage. I wouldn't have been mad at the ending in a Disney show or even an Aesop fable, but here, what a letdown. |
