DEAR EVAN HANSEN Will Launch National Tour from Denver Next Fall!

Evan is hitting the Road!

Denver Center for the Performing Arts and producer Stacey Mindich just announced that the national tour of Dear Evan Hansen will launch in Denver in October of 2018, kicking off the 2018/19 DCPA Broadway season. Nominated for nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen with a book by Tony® nominee Steven Levenson, score by Academy Award winners and Tony® nominees Benj Pasek & Justin Paul and directed by four-time Tony® nominee Michael Greif, will play The Buell Theatre. Information regarding on-sale dates and tickets will be announced at a later time.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.
