With its moving storyline about a high school student who struggles with social anxiety and inadvertently becomes involved in a family’s tragedy, Dear Evan Hansen has been praised for its heartfelt performances and emotional depth.
The National Touring Broadway promises to deliver the same raw emotion and unforgettable music, including hits like “Waving Through a Window” and “You Will Be Found.” Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to a deeply resonant experience. As it takes the stage on December 2nd, Dear Evan Hansen is sure to leave a lasting impact.
