Declared "one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history" by the Washington Post, DEAREVAN HANSEN is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look--from the point of view of both the parents and young people--at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives. Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he's on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for--the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other--and ourselves--along the way. Including some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, including "You Will Be Found," "Waving Through A Window," and "For Forever," DEAR EVAN HANSEN features an uplifting score by the Tony?, Grammy?, and Oscar? winning team behind The Greatest Showman, La La Land, and "Only Murders in the Building" Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.
Ive wanted to see Dear Evan Hansen for a long time. It did not disappoint. The tour cast was fantastic, and the technical design for sound and lights was phenomal.
Seen this show on Broadway in NYC just 4 years ago, and I thought this production was even better. Outstanding job playing Evan Hansen. I thought the set was even better than the NYC show. Overall, GREAT SHOW
It was a very good show. I would watch it again and again. All the actors were spot on and superb. Good job!
This felt very pro from a production point of view, excellent sets, lights, sound, the computer screens were very slick too. We attended a Saturday matinee and our Evan Hansen started out with the understudy who was really great and then about halfway through the show they switched to another actor, not sure why but both did a great job. Excellent acting/singing all around.
Dear Evan Hansen was a wonderfully written show and well acted. However toward the beginning of the show, the main character's mic fell off but he quickly caught it and went on with a wonderful save. However, then a couple songs later, and it was announced that he main character would be changing to a different actor, and I almost felt I had to regroup to get back into the show. However, they did a great job recovering and continuing on with a great performance.
It was an amazing show, venue was amazing, actors too, I was super excited to see Anthony Norman perform, but unfortunately he wasn’t there but the u/s was amazing, I was worried at first but then i read that he was an u/s for Evan on Broadway which made me feel better, better than any cast. And since it’s Memorial Day weekend a lot of people was on vacation, so the usher said sit wherever there is an empty seat, so we paid for a orchestra back right seat for 40, and we got orchestra front center that was worth 100 bucks.
I loved the casting for this show, I believe it was perfect, especially the guy who played Evan. Each scene was also choreographed in such a powerful way. I’ve been dreaming for seeing this show for years and give my experience an 1000/10!
An important message wrapped in a wonderful story, relevant for our time. Stunning music, outstanding vocals from every actor. Thoroughly modern staging that blew me away. A capitulating evening!
How could one not like a show that so resonates with social anxiety and depression many more teens are experiencing than parents are aware of, and also demonstrates the difficulties parents have in communicating and "reaching" their teens. Such an important show for even those that are not used to watching live theatre. Wish more teens and parents would see this show.
My daughter and I purchased these tickets almost 1 year ago. This is a show she has always wanted to see. It did not disappoint. The “orchestra”/band was great. The first song started off on the weak side but wow… the cast really brought it and brought the story to life.
The cast and show itself were fantastic! 5 stars for them! Would see it again. However, the seats themselves in this theater were really uncomfortable for a 3 hour show (the backs felt like they had no cushion). Also, if you have a really big guy sit in front of you (like I did) your entire view of mid-stage is gone — seats just aren’t elevated enough.
My wife and I really enjoyed this show. The theater was comfortable, the performance was great, the atmosphere was so fun!
I loved the storyline. The music was amazing. The staff at the theater were very friendly and helpful.
Our family was a bit late (almost too late) to the Dear Evan Hansen game but are true lovers of this show and finally got to see it! Worried we’d never see it in person, we drove a quick day trip from Maine to Syracuse and back on Mother’s Day in order to see this amazing show! It was worth every mile and the full 13 hours of car time. Thank you so much to the entire DEH cast and crew. We will never forget this show or experience.
Excellent show. Actors were stellar. Outstanding show, so happy to have seen this performance. And a very timely and moving reminder of the fragile world of teenagers in this age of social media.
What a great job everyone did. Loved it ! Went with my son for Mother’s Day weekend and we highly enjoyed it !
The cast was very relatable. The chemistry between the actors helped the story come alive. The sound system didn’t always keep up with the action.
Every single member of the cast gave a stellar performance. Highly recommend!
This was an absolutely awesome show! The cast was amazing, the lighting, the production, it was all amazing! We were blown away by the cast, everyone could really sing, they sounded amazing! I love this show, it is so needed right now, glad it is touring! One of the best we have seen, would se it again!
This show was so nice and beautiful, I loved all of the actors and actresses. ??
