Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by The Washington Post, Dear Evan Hansen is the first contemporary musical about connection in the digital age. Meet Evan Hansen, a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. After writing a letter to himself that was never meant to be seen, Evan becomes entangled in a lie that was never meant to be told and a life he never dreamt could be his. As a result, Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for—the chance to finally fit in. Packed with some of the most popular musical theatre songs from the last decade including “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through A Window” and “For Forever,” Dear Evan Hansen features an uplifting score by the Tony®, Grammy®, and Oscar® winning team behind The Greatest Showman, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson.
