Dear Evan Hansen (Broadway)

Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Steven Levenson’s 'Dear Evan Hansen' is an absolute cultural phenomenon that permanently reshaped the modern theatrical landscape, opening at the Music Box Theatre in 2016 and running for a triumphant 1,678 performances. Conceived as a raw, heart-filled exploration of contemporary youth isolation, grief, and the internet age, the plot follows an anxious teenager who fabricates a close friendship with a deceased student to comfort a grieving family, climbing to immense social profile before his deception explodes. Directed by Michael Greif, the blockbuster original production famously launched Ben Platt into international superstardom.
