Dear Evan Hansen
The Olivier, Tony® and Grammy® award-winning best musical.
Book by Steven Levenson
Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
Today is going to be a good day. And here’s why…
Meet Evan: an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. The thing is, on his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth. And now must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have. As events spiral and the truth comes out, Evan faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.
Ryan Kopel (Newsies) will play the iconic role of Evan Hansen, alongside Lauren Conroy (Into the Woods) as Zoe Murphy and Alice Fearn (Wicked, Come from Away) as Evan’s mum, Heidi. They will be joined by Helen Anker (Mamma Mia!), Richard Hurst (The Lion King), Killian Thomas Lefevre (Bat Out of Hell), Tom Dickerson (Heathers) and Vivian Panka (9 to 5 the Musical).
Packed with some of the biggest musical theatre songs of the last decade, Dear Evan Hansen has a score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Oscar-winning composers for The Greatest Showman), book by Steven Levenson and more awards than can be listed here. Well ok, we’ll mention a few: its Tony® Award for BEST MUSICAL, Olivier Award for BEST NEW MUSICAL, Grammy® Award for BEST MUSICAL THEATRE SCORE… no big deal but the list goes on!
With direction by Adam Penford (Artistic Director at Nottingham Playhouse), this brand-new production marks the first time that the Broadway and West End phenomenon will tour the UK and Ireland. So wherever you are, #YouWillBeFound, with the Dear Evan Hansen tour coming to Canterbury in February 2025.
