Dear Evan Hansen

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by The Washington Post, “Dear Evan 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” and “La La Land,” Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.

Recommended for ages 12 and up and contains adult themes, including discussions of suicide.

This performance is part of the University Arts Series.
