The latest musical by writing team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul officially opens on Broadway December 4 at the Music Box Theatre. With a book by Steven Levenson and direction by Michael Greif, Dear Evan Hansen transferred from a hit Off-Broadway run at Second Stage.
Ben Platt, the title character, and co-star Laura Dreyfuss performed what has already become the show’s anthem, “Waving Through a Window,” on the November 22 episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.
A show capturing a portrait of teen anxiety and the collective effects of tragedy on a high school community, the production also stars Rachel Bay Jones, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Mike Faist, Michael Park, Will Roland, and Kristolyn Lloyd with choreography by Danny Mefford, music supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Japhy Weidman, projection design by Peter Nigrini, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, and casting by Tara Rubin Casting.
