DEAR EVAN HANSON – All his life, Evan Hansen has felt invisible. But when a tragedy thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, he is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. This November, Evan Hansen finds where he’s meant to be. On Broadway.
The journey began in the summer of 2015, with a smash hit world premiere engagement of Dear Evan Hansen at Arena Stage in Washington DC. Audiences and critics alike instantly fell in love with what Peter Marks of The Washington Post called “A heart-piercing trip to the place that musical theater can sometimes take us to.”
Next stop, a record-setting, sold-out run at New York’s Second Stage Theatre, where once again, this original musical stunned audiences and moved Charles Isherwood of The New York Times to proclaim, “This is a superb musical with great heart and humor.”
Dear Evan Hansen, which pairs the three time Tony Award-nominated director Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, Grey Gardens) with the Tony-nominated composing team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (A Christmas Story, Dogfight, NBC’s “Smash”) and award winning playwright Steven Levenson (Showtime’s “Masters of Sex”) now takes the next step on its remarkable journey.
