DEAR EVAN HANSEN Sets Mobile Rush Policy for Off-Broadway Run

Today, Second Stage Theatre announced its partnership with TodayTix, the free mobile app that provides on-demand access to the best last-minute theater tickets, to launch a rush ticketing platform offering $30 tickets for the new musical Dear Evan Hansen beginning on the production's first preview Saturday, March 26.

In order to gain access to the $30 rush tickets for performances of Dear Evan Hansen, ticket buyers must download the TodayTix app and unlock the functionality by sharing on their Facebook or Twitter pages. Once unlocked, users have access to rush pricing daily. Beginning at 10am ET on the day of performance, rush tickets can be purchased on a first come, first served basis until that day's rush inventory is sold out. Customers can pick up their tickets at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre box office (305 West 43rd Street) beginning one hour prior to curtain.

All his life Evan Hansen has felt invisible. To his peers, to the girl he loves, sometimes even to his own mother. But that was before he wrote the letter - that led to the incident- that started the lie - that ignited a movement - that inspired a community - and changed Evan's status from the ultimate outsider into the somebody everyone wants to know. But how long can Evan keep his secret? And at what price?

A tribute to the outsider in us all, Dear Evan Hansen is about someone you know, maybe even someone you are, but more than anything, it's about discovering the person we all long to be - ourselves.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN features music and lyrics by the Tony and Emmy nominated composing team Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (Dogfight, A Christmas Story), book by Steven Levenson (Showtime's Masters of Sex), choreography by Danny Mefford (Fun Home), and direction by three-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, Grey Gardens, If/Then). Scenic design is by David Korins, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, and projection design by Peter Nigrini. The musical director is Ben Cohn and the music supervisor is Alex Lacamoire.

The company includes several performers who appeared in the World Premiere production at Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage, featuring Ben Platt as the title character, Evan Hansen, in a performance that was called "extraordinary, bordering on heroic" by Peter Marks in the Washington Post. Also reprising their performances from the "splendid" (Marks, Washington Post) cast are Laura Dreyfuss as Zoe, Mike Faist as Connor, Rachel Bay Jones as Heidi, Will Roland as Jared, Jennifer Laura Thompson as Cynthia. New cast members John Dossett (Larry) and Kristolyn Lloyd (Alana) complete the company.

In its world premiere production at Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage, Peter Marks of The Washington Post called Dear Evan Hansen, "Entertainingly smart and radiating charm, wit and humor! This heart-piercingly lovely new musical is a trip to the exciting place that musical theater sometimes takes you, a destination of wholly unexpected impact, where characters burst into song and you, in spite of yourself, into tears." And Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the musical, "Fresh, vibrant, and quite moving."

DEAR EVAN HANSEN will be performed from Saturday, March 26 through Sunday, May 22 on the following schedule: Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday at 7 PM, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM. Beginning May 8, Sunday performances of Dear Evan Hansen will be at 3 PM.
