Experience the transformative power of musical theater with the critically acclaimed production of "Dear Evan Hansen" at the L3Harris Technologies Theatre. This remarkable show, celebrated by The Washington Post as one of the most significant in musical theater history and hailed by NBC Nightly News for its resonant anthem, is set to captivate audiences on October 29 and 30, 2024.

"Dear Evan Hansen" tells the poignant story of a high school student caught on the fringes of society. After a personal letter meant for his eyes only leads to a series of unintended consequences, Evan Hansen finds himself woven into a web of lies, offering him an unexpected opportunity to fit in. This contemporary musical, touching on themes of connection in our digital age, promises an evening of emotional depth and unforgettable music.

Featuring a score by the Tony, Grammy, and Oscar-winning team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul ("The Greatest Showman") and a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, the show brings to life some of the most beloved songs in recent musical theatre history, including "You Will Be Found," "Waving Through A Window," and "For Forever."

Doors for this must-see event open at 6:30 PM, with performances starting at 7:30 PM on both nights. While ticket sale dates are to be announced, attendees can look forward to a night of profound storytelling and soaring melodies.
