About the show

The Washington Post heralds it as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history” and The New York Times calls it “a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical.” Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it in the digital age. It has struck a remarkable chord with audiences of all ages and critics everywhere. 

All his life, anxious and lonely teenager Evan Hansen has felt invisible. But when a tragic event shocks the community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to finally be somebody else.

For anyone who has ever felt on the outside looking in, Dear Evan Hansen is a poignant and powerful story about how we can find each other – and ourselves – along the way.

Recommended for ages 13 and up.
