| Show Info | With a powerful contemporary score and an emotionally resonant story, Dear Evan Hansen explores the universal desire for connection, the complexities of family, and the lengths we sometimes go to in order to feel seen, understood, and accepted. Dear Evan Hansen follows Evan, an anxious and socially isolated high school student who finds himself caught in an increasingly complicated lie after pretending to have been close friends with a classmate who has died by suicide. What begins as a misguided attempt to comfort a grieving family spirals into a viral phenomenon, bringing Evan the friendship, acceptance, and sense of belonging he has always wanted. But as the lie grows, Evan must decide whether to continue living in the fantasy he's created or finally face the truth. Featuring a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson and a score by Grammy, Tony, Olivier, and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman). |
