With a book by Steven Levenson and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Dear Evan Hansen is the story of seventeen-year-old, Evan Hansen, who has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begin to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for. Please note this show sensitively addresses themes of mental health and su***de.
