Dear Evan Hansen

Sydney Theatre Company and Michael Cassel Group join forces for the Australian premiere of Dear Evan Hansen. This is a brand new production of the Broadway smash-hit, for anyone who’s ever considered themselves “on the outside always looking in”. Dear Evan Hansen is the raw, moving and inspiring story of a socially anxious high schooler who is suddenly thrust into the spotlight when he inadvertently invents an important role for himself at the centre of a local tragedy. Called a “breathtaking knockout of a musical” by The New York Times and the winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Book by writer Steven Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen features music from the Grammy and Academy Award-winning geniuses Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (_La La Land, The Greatest Showman) and a story that journeys to the heart of the contemporary teenage condition with a tenderness and wit that will set your heart alight. In a brand-new production helmed by one of Australia’s great interpreters of musical theatre, Dean Bryant (Fun Home, Hubris & Humiliation), Dear Evan Hansen is an empowering and uplifting experience for anyone who’s ever considered themselves on the “outside, always looking in”.
