Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by the Washington Post, Dear Evan Hansen is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look — from the point of view of both the parents and young people — at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives.

Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for — the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other — and ourselves — along the way.

Dear Evan Hansen includes some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, such as You Will Be Found, Waving Through a Window, and For Forever, and features an uplifting score by the Tony-, Grammy-, and Oscar-winning team behind The Greatest Showman and La La Land, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, as well as a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson.

This is the first performance of Dear Evan Hansen at the Moss Arts Center.
