A private letter, a secret truth, and a life he never imagined possible: Evan Hansen is on the verge of getting the one thing he’s always desired—a chance to truly belong.
Winner of six Tony Awards, Dear Evan Hansen is a profound contemporary musical for anyone who’s ever felt alone in a crowded room. When Evan fabricates a deep friendship with a deceased classmate, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of events that thrusts him into the center of a grieving family’s life.
As his social currency skyrockets, Evan is drawn deeper into the lie, finally landing the girl of his dreams and becoming “visible” for the first time. Eventually, he is forced to make a decision: will he give himself over to the fantasy he’s created, or risk losing everything to tell the truth? Featuring a hit score from Pasek and Paul, this highly awarded show has become an instant hit among theatergoers everywhere.
