The Grand will present the Wilmington premiere engagement of the Tony and Grammy -winning Best Musical that connected the world DEAR EVAN HANSEN at The Playhouse on Rodney Square from April 11-13, 2025.
Declared "one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history" by The Washington Post, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look - from the point of view of both the parents and young people - at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives.
Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he's on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for-the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other-and ourselves-along the way.
Including some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, including "You Will Be Found," "Waving Through A Window," and "For Forever," DEAR EVAN HANSEN features an uplifting score by the Emmy , Tony , Grammy, and Oscar winning team behind The Greatest Showman, La La Land, and "Only Murders in the Building" Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.

"The cast also includes understudies Michael Perez (Evan alternate), Monica Blume, Julianna Braga, and Blake Ehrlichman.
