About the Broadway ShowsThis New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

Don’t miss this breathtaking new musical written by Tony® nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year’s Tony-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley, that Newsweek cheers, “It takes you to a place you never want to leave!”

On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both deeply personal and profound contemporary, Dear Even Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.

Dear Even Hansen has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics everywhere. The New York Times calls it “ a gorgeous new musical for anyone with a beating heart.” And NBC Nightly News calls this bold new Tony® winner for best musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”
