An award-winning musical about Evan Hansen, who wants nothing more than to fit In, but his social life is built on a lie—So who is he really?

High school student Evan Hansen struggles with loneliness and social anxiety. When a classmate dies by suicide, a misunderstanding turns Evan’s private letter to himself into what appears to be the classmate’s farewell note addressed to him. Suddenly, everyone believes they were best friends. As Evan fails to correct the mistake, he becomes increasingly entangled in the deception. His popularity soars, and he finds a sense of belonging within the grieving family, who take comfort in his presence. But as the lie spirals out of control, Evan must face the inevitable truth—about himself and those around him.


Dear Evan Hansen

Royal Danish Opera

Dear Evan Hansen is a touching and heartbreaking story about the longing to be seen and to belong. The musical, created in 2015, has played with great success on Broadway in New York and in the West End in London, and was adapted into a film in 2021. The music and the incredibly moving songs were written by Grammy, Tony, Olivier and Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who also wrote the lyrics for the films La La Land and The Greatest Showman.
