Evan Hansen, a teenager with a severe anxiety disorder, has always felt invisible. But when a sudden death shocks the community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. Dear Evan Hansen — winner of the Tony and Olivier awards for best musical — is a profoundly contemporary coming-of-age story about the fragility of life and the need for human connection. A Muny and Midwest regional premiere!

Unfazed by the arrival of nearly 7,000 surprise guests, the residents provide light in a dark time, welcoming the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and hope. A Muny premiere!
