Dear Evan Hansen at Centre Stage

A Raw, Emotional Journey Through Mental Health, Connection, and the Courage to be Found. Dear Evan Hansen explores themes of social anxiety, grief, and the profound impact of human connection in the digital age. At its heart is Evan Hansen, a high school senior who has always felt invisible. Struggling to find his place in the world, Evan’s life takes an unexpected turn when a tragic event shakes the community—and a simple lie spirals into something much bigger. As he’s thrust into the center of a growing controversy, Evan is faced with a life-changing opportunity: the chance to finally be seen, even if it means becoming someone he’s not. The winner of six Tony Awards (including Best Musical), the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and an Olivier Award for Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it. The show features a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson (Fosse/Verdon), and a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dogfight, La La Land, The Greatest Showman).
