Dear Evan Hansen was the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, as well the the 2018 Grammy award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new musical about life and the way we live it.
