Great Seats Still Available for Blockbuster DEAR EVAN HANSEN At Washington Pavilion

Blockbuster Broadway musical DEAR EVAN HANSEN is coming to the Mary W. Sommervold Hall at the Washington Pavilion for eight performances April 18-23, 2023.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. This deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical confirms that there is a place for everyone to feel loved and accepted. The whole family will enjoy this entertaining, heartwarming and redemptive show about life and the way we live it.

"We are THRILLED to share this beautiful piece of contemporary musical theatre with our audiences. Gorgeous music and inspirational storytelling collide in this award-winning and critically acclaimed musical about the human experience," says Regina Ruhberg, Director of Performances and Events for Washington Pavilion Management, Inc.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics everywhere, including The Washington Post who says DEAR EVAN HANSEN is "Theatrical magic. One of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history." The New York Times calls it "a breathtaking knockout of a musical." And NBC Nightly News declares the musical "an inspiring anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond."

Great seats are still available throughout the eight performances, including two matinees and six evening performances. To purchase tickets, go to WashingtonPavilion.org or visit the Box Office at 301 S. Main Ave.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN opened at the Music Box Theatre to rave reviews, where it's broken all box office records and struck a chord with critics and audiences alike.

In addition to winning six Tony awards, DEAR EVAN HANSEN has won numerous other awards, including the Drama League Award for Outstanding Musical Production and for the off-Broadway production, two Obie Awards, a Drama Desk Award, two Outer Critics Circle Awards and two Helen Hayes Awards. The show's original cast won a Daytime Emmy Award for "Best Musical Performance on a Daytime Talk Show" for their performance of "You Will Be Found" on NBC's "Today Show," only the second Broadway show in history to win that category.

The Grammy Award-winning Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, produced by Atlantic Records, made an extraordinary debut on the Billboard 200, entering the chart at #8-the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961-and went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. A deluxe album of the Grammy-winning cast recording includes six bonus tracks such as "Waving Through a Window" performed by pop star Katy Perry.
