Described by the Washington Post as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history,” Dear Evan Hansen is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look - from the point of view of both the parents and young people - at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives.
Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for-the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other-and ourselves-along the way.
Including some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, including “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through A Window,” and “For Forever,” Dear Evan Hansen features an uplifting score by the Tony ®, Grammy®, and Oscar®-winning team behind The Greatest Showman and La La Land, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.
