Socially anxious Evan Hansen is forced to make a decision. Play along with the charade, receiving the attention he’s always craved. Or speak out and risk losing it all.

The Australian premiere of 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 tragedy.

Intimate and deeply personal, this multi-award winning coming-of-age tale carries the reputation as one of the most profound stories in contemporary musical theatre. Called a “breathtaking knockout of a musical” by The New York Times, it brilliantly illustrates our desire for authentic human connection in a hyper-connected, digital world.

Featuring music from the Grammy and Academy Award winning geniuses Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dogfight), the six-time Tony Award® winning production, including Best Book by Steven Levenson, journeys to the core of teenage loneliness with a tenderness and wit that will set your heart alight.
