✦ The Story

About the Show

“You Will Be Found.”

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. Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it — a story about identity, family, belonging, and the urgent human need to connect.

Winner of six Tony Awards (including Best Musical), the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and the Olivier Award for Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen has been hailed by The Washington Post as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history,” and by The New York Times as “a breathtaking, breath-of-fresh-air new musical.”
