Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.
The winner of six Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album,
Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy®, Tony® and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (
La La Land,
The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (
Rent,
Next to Normal).
Dear Evan Hansen opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre on December 4, 2016, where it’s broken all box office records and has struck a chord with critics and audiences alike.
