Declared "One of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history" by The Washington Post's Peter Marks, Dear Evan Hansen opened at the Music Box Theatre to rave reviews on Dec. 4, 2016. There, it has broken all box office records and struck a chord with audiences and critics alike, including The New York Times critic Jesse Green, who, in his May 2019 re-review of the show, declared it "more and more ingenious with each viewing. It is more hopeful than ever."
The Broadway production recently celebrated its two-year anniversary with a special donation to the Smithsonian, where the show's iconic blue polo and arm cast will now be part of the permanent collection of the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. A record-breaking U.S. national tour launched in October 2018 and is currently playing across North America, and a limited engagement recently opened at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre, where it runs through July 21, 2019. The show's second international production will open in the West End on Nov. 19, 2019, at London's Noel Coward Theatre.
The Grammy Award-winning Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen produced by Atlantic Records was released in February 2017, making an extraordinary debut on the Billboard 200 and entering the chart at No. 8 - the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961 - and went on to win the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. A deluxe version of the cast recording, including six bonus tracks and a pop cover from Katy Perry of "Waving through a Window" is now available digitally.
A special edition coffee table book authored by Levenson, Pasek and Paul, Dear Evan Hansen: through the window (Grand Central Publishing / Melcher) is now available, offering an in-depth, all-access look at the musical, including never-before-seen production photos and cast portraits, behind-the-scenes stories, and a fully annotated script by the authors.
