Award-winning DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a powerful adult themed ‘drama musical’ that explores the human experience in life as we know it. The storyline delves into those universal themes of acceptance and the complexities of growing up; navigating the highs and lows; challenges and temptations; laughter and heartbreak of adolescence and adulthood. All his life, Evan Hansen has felt invisible. But when a tragic event shocks him and his community, this socially anxious awkward high school student becomes the centre of a rapidly evolving controversy and resulting spiralling complex situation. Presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, to finally “belong”, Evan inadvertently grabs the chance to create an important role for himself by not telling the whole truth. He transforms from a “nobody” to the central figure in a heartbreaking drama that explores adult themes of mental health, loneliness, and the human need for connection. As the truth evolves, Evan faces his web of lies and how everyone around him has been affected. Highly talented all South African cast, crew and creative team.
