Written by the Tony-winning composing team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul - Oscar winners this year for their lyrics to La La Land's "City of Stars" - with a book from Steven Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of of an anxiety-plagued high school loner named Evan who is paralyzed by the hyper-connectivity of social media and forced to watch the world from the outside looking in. Trying to improve his self-image, Evan writes himself a letter that is mistaken for a classmate's suicide note and rides that error to popularity. (The story is loosely based on an experience Pasek witnessed in high school). Since opening on Broadway in December 2016, Dear Evan Hansen has gone on to become a sold-out out smash, winning six Tonys.
