When shows support other shows.... https://twitter.com/dearevanhansen/status/1118546663935705088?s=21
I’m not sure if Dear Evan Hansen shares the same producers or what not as Hadestown, but when two shows that are basically competing for the same audience show a comradery like this is very heartwarming to see. You don’t really see stuff like this in other entertainment fields. It always seems like the tv networks or music records are fighting each other, but I feel the exact opposite when it comes to the theatre and the way all broadway shows interact with one another.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

DEH (among other shows) posts happy opening notes on social media for every Broadway show. There's nothing special about this exchange.

It's very common –– yes, it's a nice gesture, but it's also exposure for the show that created the content. One might argue that Avenue Q was one of the first to do this, with their joke ads using the puppets for each new show that opened. (Hand of God also did it.)
DEH has gone overboard with things like this. I think it was Valentine's Day, when they did a "Dear ___" posts for literally any celebrity.

Also, DEH and Hadestown share the same press agent.

Posted: 4/18/19 at 10:30amIt is nice, but as others have said, lots of shows do this. Its different then other business as its happening concurrently...in the same physical community.
