Hailed by NBC Nightly News as "an inspiring anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond," Dear Evan Hansen was greeted with unprecedented acclaim upon its arrival at Broadway's famed Music Box Theatre on December 4th, 2016. The musical went on to break all box office records and win big at the 2017 Annual Tony® Awards, earning six total Tonys® including "Best Musical," "Best Score," and "Best Orchestrations." DEAR EVAN HANSEN features a book by Tony® Award-winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, music supervision and orchestrations by three-time Tony® Award winner Alex Lacamoire, and direction by four-time Tony®Award nominee Michael Greif.

One of only seven cast albums to reach the top 20 of the Billboard 200 in the last 50 years, "DEAR EVAN HANSEN (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)" made a momentous chart debut upon its initial February 2017 release, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #8- the highest debut position for an original cast album since 1961. The historic success marks the second highest digital sales debut ever for a cast album - bested only by Atlantic's own GRAMMY® Award-winning "HAMILTON (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)" - as well as the third best-selling debut from a cast album in the Nielsen SoundScan era, following that album and 1996's "RENT (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)."

DEAR EVAN HANSEN continues to run at Broadway's Music Box Theatre; a national tour is currently underway with performances scheduled across America, and international productions have been announced for Toronto (March 2019) and London (Fall 2019).
