Dear Evan Hansen

Farmers Alley Theatre closes out its 18th season with the exhilarating contemporary musical, Dear Evan Hansen. With an insightful original script by Steven Levenson and an electrifying pop-rock score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, this Tony Award winning show opens July 9th and is a story about finding your place in the world while navigating the universal search for connection. It is a new classic, with a message that has resonated with audiences around the world. The story follows high school student Evan Hansen who has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for. DEAR EVAN HANSEN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) . All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
