Dear Evan Hansen on Tour

Continuing a national tour that kicked off in October 2018, the musical Dear Evan Hansen is proving no less enthralling a cultural phenomenon on the road as it became during its Tony-winning Broadway run. Deemed "one of the most evocative portraits of the inner turmoil of adolescence ever put on stage" by the Los Angeles Times, Dear Evan Hansen moves audiences as no other play has done in years. A seamless blend of memorable songs tied to a grippingly dramatic story, this emotionally gut-punching tale of the socially anxious title character's duplicitous transformation into a social-media hero is a rare example of a wholly original modern musical drawn from real life. Conceived by budding Broadway songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul — and based on an incident from Pasek's high school years — Dear Evan Hansen premiered at Washington's Arena Stage and had its Off Broadway debut at New York's Second Stage Theatre prior to its official Broadway opening at the Music Box Theatre in December 2016. Newcomer Ben Levi Ross, who began his professional career as the Broadway understudy for role originator (and Tony Award winner) Ben Platt, brings a different but no less moving skill set to his portrayal of the vulnerable and confused title character. Michael Greif, who won a Tony for his streamlined direction of the musical, continues to helm the production. Composers Pasek and Paul, along with book writer Steven Levenson, all earned Tonys for their efforts. (Pasek and Paul went on to win a best-picture Academy Award for their subsequent project, La La Land.) Songs from the musical — including Evan's first-act finale, "You Will Be Found," and his mother's second-act heart-tugger, "So Big/So Small" — have entered pop music's pantheon, and the original cast album won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album in 2018. Projections of phone and computer screens designed by Peter Negrini make the show a timely reflection of technology's ambiguous grip on our attention and emotions. Not only for the young, Dear Evan Hansen has something meaningful to say to all who've ever considered themselves "on the outside always lookin' in."

    Meh.

    by C.C on 6/28/23Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    I thought this play was okay. It personally was nothing special to me. The music was great, but that was about it. It feels like the message is lackluster and ends on a "happy note" which doesn't sit well with me for what Evan does. I didn't really care for the humor either. The whole plot of the play left with a message of "it's okay if you take advantage and lie about a dead person, their family and friends will forgive you eventually because you have a mental illness". If it didn't end of that note, I'd give it 4 stars.

    What an emotional riveting performance! The acting and singing was spot on. So much talent on one stage! I fell in love with Evan, who was played by Jeffrey Cornelius. Definitely a must-see ❤️

    Worth three times what I paid!

    by GaryinBuffalo on 6/27/23Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    Shea's Buffalo Theater (Buffalo, NY) recently hosted an extraordinary production that surpassed all expectations. The impeccable performances and profound storytelling left a lasting impact on the audience, highlighting the immense talent of the cast and their ability to convey important social messages. This production not only showcased exceptional acting and singing skills but also served as a poignant exploration of social anxiety and depression, urging us to confront these issues head-on with empathy, compassion, and sympathy. From the moment the curtains rose, it was clear that this performance was more than just a Shea's stage play—it was a heartfelt plea to acknowledge the struggles faced by individuals in our increasingly connected yet isolating world. With their remarkable acting prowess, the cast brought to life characters who grappled with the challenges of social anxiety and depression, allowing us to deeply empathize with their experiences. The actors' performances were nothing short of extraordinary. That I had to say again. Their ability to convey the raw emotions associated with mental health issues was captivating and profoundly moving. Each actor skillfully portrayed the complexities of their characters, showcasing a range of emotions that left the audience spellbound. The authenticity and vulnerability displayed on stage were commendable, making the characters relatable and human. Moreover, the cast's singing skills were awe-inspiring. Their melodious voices filled the theater, touching every heart in the room. The music served as a powerful medium to express the characters' pain, longing, and hope. The carefully selected songs enhanced the storyline and created a poignant atmosphere that resonated with the audience on a deep emotional level. While the performances themselves were exceptional, what truly set this production apart was its ability to shed light on the reality of social anxiety and depression in our society. By addressing the impact of social media, the show highlighted its detrimental effects on mental well-being. It served as a wake-up call, urging us to pause and recognize the struggles those around us face, especially in social media, where the pressure to present a perfect life can be overwhelming. The overarching message of the performance was clear: empathy, compassion, and sympathy are essential in combating the silent battles fought by individuals dealing with social anxiety and depression. The production encouraged us to approach these issues with an open heart, dispelling any judgment or stigma that may be associated with them. It called upon society to prioritize mental health and extend a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, the performance at Shea's Buffalo Theater was a breathtaking experience that left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to witness it. The cast's exceptional acting and singing skills, coupled with the powerful exploration of social anxiety and depression, made for an unforgettable evening. This production entertained us and served as a catalyst for change, urging us to address the pressing issues affecting our society and fostering a more compassionate and understanding world.

    What a wonderful afternoon!

    by Mickey on 6/27/23Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    I attended the Saturday, 2 pm show on June 24 at Shea’s. What a show! I loved every moment from start to finish. First, the cast was exceptional. The voices and acting were superb. I was completely enveloped in the story and the music from the first second the lights came up. The young man playing Evan (only Sat matinee and Sunday) was amazing, I feel incredibly lucky to have attended this show. The musicians were amazing as well. I had been listening to the Broadway version but I think the live traveling show I saw in Buffalo was superior. Bravo/brava and thank you so much for a completely entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable experience. It reminded me why I love musical theatre!!

    FANTASTIC!!!

    by KMG on 6/26/23Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    Dear Evan Hansen was one of the best performances we have seen! The content of the story was remarkably presented to the audience. We felt completely immersed in the feelings of each character based on the complexity of what they were facing. Our 15 year old granddaughter was crying during the last 40 minutes of the show. She was able to relate to what the characters were feeling and conveying to the audience. This performance made an impact on her since she has gone through some of what was discussed in the play. We spoke about it with her after the performance. She also stated she hopes she can be as good of an actress as the cast is since she is involved in school plays already.

    I love musical theater

    by Linda V on 6/25/23Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    I received an email for a BOGO sale for this show, buy one ticket get one free. It did say limited time deal , but after I put the sale code in and my credit card information, I noticed that I did not get the special price. I probably would not have decided to buy these tickets if they were not on sale.
