About the Show

Winner of six Tony Awards, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical that explores the need for human connection in today's noisy, fast-paced society. It follows Evan, an adolescent who struggles with social anxiety disorder. When a sudden death shocks the community, it thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy. A letter meant to stay private, a truth that was never supposed to come to light, a life he never imagined possible. Evan Hansen is on the verge of getting the one thing he’s always desired, a chance to truly belong.

PG-13.  Intense emotional themes, discussions of suicide methods, bullying, drug (prescription medication) and alcohol use, severe anxiety and grief, references to sexual acts and teenage kissing, as well as moderate profanity.
