High school senior Evan Hansen suffers from mental health issues of intense anxiety and loneliness. On advice from his therapist, he writes positive letters to himself beginning with “Dear Evan Hansen”. One is accidentally sent to a fellow student named Connor who struggles with drug use and suicidal ideology, leading to unintended consequences after Connor commits suicide. Evan’s life is laid bare after his inner struggles become public. The story is both painful and hopeful because it resonates beyond teenagers to veterans suffering from PTSD and those who simply feel alone in the world. The song “You Will Be Found” is considered an anthem of hope, and it’s no wonder this modern musical is the winner of numerous Tony, Grammy, and Olivier awards. Rated R for language and themes of drug use, suicide, and mental health struggles, it offers the chance for conversation and connection.
DEAR EVAN HANSEN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
