Meet The Current Cast of DEAR EVAN HANSEN On Broadway!

Broadway's Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen, is currently in its third record-smashing year at the Music Box Theatre. Following the success of the Broadway production, a national tour launched soon after, bringing the story across North America. A sit-down production made its way to Toronto earlier this year, and will be followed by a West End production set to debut in October 2019 at the Noel Coward Theatre.

It takes a whole lot of heart and heaps of talent to bring this Tony-winning tear-jerker to life, and the incredible current company of the Broadway production has all that and more.

Thanks to the sensational cast currently telling Evan's tale eight times a week, this groundbreaking musical is as emotionally potent as ever, illuminating the turbulent inner lives of teens and the need for communication between parents and their children nightly.

Below, meet the actors currently getting found in Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen !
