Book by Steven Levenson; Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul Directed by Dean Bryant
Sydney Theatre Company and Michael Cassel Group join forces for the Australian premiere of this radiant musical sensation.
Coming to Sydney in a brand-new production, Dear Evan Hansen is the raw, moving and inspiring story of a socially anxious highschooler 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).
Helmed by one of Australia’s great interpreters of musical theatre, Dean Bryant, Dear Evan Hansen is an empowering and uplifting experience for anyone who’s ever considered themselves on the “outside, always looking in”.
