Dear Evan Hansen - 2016 - Broadway Articles Page 1

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Dear Evan Hansen, the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning musical, will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, September 18, 2022, almost six years after it opened at the Music Box Theatre.

Before both productions of Dear Evan Hansen take their final bows, BroadwayWorld is catching up with not one, but two Evans- Stephen Christopher Anthony, who currently plays the role on Broadway, and Sam Tutty, who stars as Evan in the West End. Watch as both reflect on their journeys to the role, reflect on the musical's incredible legacy, and so much more in this video.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN cancels 8/20 matinee performance.

What did our critic think of DEAR EVAN HANSEN at National Arts Centre? The opening night performance of Dear Evan Hansen at the National Arts Centre lacked some of the buzz that was palpable at Hamilton a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps that was because of pent-up excitement for Hamilton following two years of pandemic-related delays or maybe it's because Hamilton is still widely considered one of the hottest shows around. Normally there would be a bigger gap between shows, but thanks to the pandemic, Broadway Across Canada's 2021-2022 season has been condensed into a shorter time frame (Aside: not that I'm complaining - the more shows, the better, if you ask me). The beautiful thing about Broadway shows is that no two shows are alike, and the audience can appreciate each on its own merit.

Dear Evan Hansen encourages smiles and laughs, steals gasps and tears, and teaches one of life’s most important lessons–we all have a place in this world.

I waited months for this day, but I’m finally in Manhattan, wearing my lavender hoodie from Jordan Fisher’s official merch. It reads “Be My Friend” on my chest and there’s a small heart on one of the sleeves, the same place where Jordan has his heart-shaped tattoo. According to him, it means to “wear your heart on your sleeve”.
