Start: 2025-03-27T19:30:00-04:00
Location: Eisenhower Auditorium

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history” by The Washington Post, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look—from the point of view of both the parents and young people—at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives.
Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for—the chance to fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other—and ourselves—along the way.
DEAR EVAN HANSEN features some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the past decade, including “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through a Window,” and “For Forever.” The production’s uplifting score is by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the Tony, Grammy, and Oscar Award-winning team behind The Greatest Showman, La La Land, and Only Murders in the Building; with a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.
