Video: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Pioneer Theatre Company

Get a first look at Pioneer Theatre Company (PTC)'s Utah premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, the acclaimed Broadway musical featuring a book by Steven Levenson and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. The production runs through November 8, 2025, at the Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre in Salt Lake City.

Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Pioneer Theatre Company is Arrestingly Layered

Pioneer Theatre Company’s professional production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN could easily be at home on a Broadway stage, and it is certainly one of Utah’s best shows this year. The original production is rightfully beloved, but this iteration adds even more layers, brilliantly flitting between realism and theatricality in arresting ways.

Review: PARADE at Ahmanson Theatre

When PARADE debuted on Broadway in December 1998 it won Tonys for Best Book and Best Original Score and six Drama Desk Awards. The 2023 revival was nominated for six Tony Awards itself, winning two. Now touring, the show, based on a true story, is in Los Angeles through July 12. And while it takes place 1913–1915, it is still just as relevant today as it was a century ago.

Review: PARADE at The 5th Avenue Theatre

Dear Readers, we live in divisive times. That’s no news to anyone. Our society is extremely polarized with many basing beliefs on fear, misinformation, and xenophobia while those in charge propagate that division by spreading lies. Sadly, this kind of behavior has been around forever, but if we can look at stories of this ilk, then maybe we can learn to rise above them. And that’s where shows like “Parade”, currently performing at the 5th Avenue Theatre, come into play.

Review: PARADE at Belk Theater

As a Yeshiva boy with Ashkenazi DNA, my reaction to PARADE may have been more visceral than that of people who dislike OUR TOWN staging, see no reason for Leo Frank's lynching to become a big musical, or simply don't have Jewish skin and blood in the game.
