Dear Evan Hansen
Advertisement
Book by Steven Levenson
Music and lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul
presented by The British Theatre Academy
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).
Evan Hansen, a socially anxious high school senior, becomes entangled in a misunderstanding after a classmate, Connor Murphy, takes his own life with a letter Evan wrote to himself found in Connor’s pocket. Mistaken as Connor’s close friend, Evan comforts the grieving Murphy family by fabricating a friendship that never existed, and his lie quickly grows into a movement that brings him unexpected popularity, love, and belonging. As the truth unravels, Evan must face the consequences of his choices and confront what it truly means to be seen, accepted, and honest about who you are.
Both heart-wrenching and hopeful, Dear Evan Hansen is a powerful choice for groups looking to engage audiences with a story that speaks to today’s world. Its themes of identity, mental health, and empathy spark meaningful conversation, while its contemporary pop score excites performers and audiences alike. Dear Evan Hansen isn’t just a musical—it’s a movement that reminds us we are not alone.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
