Harbour Lights Theatre has announced that Broadway veteran James Moye will join its upcoming production of Dear Evan Hansen as Larry Murphy, reprising the role after previously appearing in the Broadway production.

Directed by Tony Award nominee Adam Pascal and Associate Director Trent Soyster, the Tony Award-winning musical will run August 6–9, 2026 at the Carr Amphitheater in Hingham, Massachusetts.

In Dear Evan Hansen, Larry Murphy is Connor and Zoe's father, a man navigating profound grief while struggling to reconnect with his family after an unimaginable tragedy. Though often reserved, Larry's journey reveals the quiet complexities of fatherhood, loss, and the hope of finding a way forward.

"I'm incredibly grateful to revisit Larry," said Moye. "Returning to this role is especially meaningful because of the compassion and honesty at the heart of this story. I'm thrilled to join Adam and this wonderful company to bring this beautiful musical to audiences on the South Shore."

"James has already proven what a remarkable Larry he is," said Pascal. "He brings authenticity, depth, and quiet strength to the role, and we're fortunate to have someone with his experience and heart joining this company. James brings the final piece into place, and I couldn't be more excited about the extraordinary cast we've assembled. I can't wait for audiences to experience what we've created together this August."
