Sydney Theatre Company and Michael Cassel Group present the Australian premiere of DEAR EVAN HANSEN. This acclaimed musical, described as a “breathtaking knockout” by The New York Times, is a six-time Tony Award winner, featuring a book by Steven Levenson and music by Grammy and Academy Award-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (known for La La Land and The Greatest Showman).
The story explores the world of socially anxious Evan Hansen, who faces a pivotal choice: to continue a false persona that brings him the attention he craves, or to reveal the truth and risk everything. Through a bold deception, Evan finds his way into a grief-stricken family, creating a crucial role for himself in their tragic narrative.
An intimate and deeply personal coming-of-age tale, DEAR EVAN HANSEN shines a light on the human desire for genuine connection in today’s digital age. This new production promises to capture the essence of the Broadway sensation with revitalised energy, offering an empowering experience for anyone who has ever felt on the outside looking in.
