DEAR EVAN HANSEN's Noah Galvin and More Set for BroadwayCon Panel

BroadwayCon has announced today that the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen returns to BroadwayCon 2018. Featuring Steven Levenson (Book) and Noah Galvin (the current Evan Hansen) in conversation, this Dear Evan Hansen panel will take BroadwayCon attendees behind the scenes of the hit show.

The winner of six 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson, a score by Academy Award and Tony winning composers Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, and direction by 4-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, produced by Atlantic Records, was released in February 2017, making an extraordinary debut on the Billboard 200 and entering the chart at No. 8 - the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961.

A special edition coffee table book from Pasek, Paul, and Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen: through the window (Grand Central Publishing / Melcher) is now available, offering an in-depth, all-access look at the musical, including never-before-seen production photos and cast portraits, behind-the-scenes stories, and a fully annotated script by the authors.
