Dear Evan Hansen
Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
Translated by Daniel Efrat
Directed by Amit Apte
For the very first time in Israel!
Evan Hansen is a high school student struggling with social isolation. After a classmate commits suicide, the boy’s grieving parents mistakenly believe that Evan was their son’s close friend and seek to understand their child’s world through Evan.
To Evan’s surprise, from the moment this so-called "friendship" is revealed, to Evan’s surprise, everyone’s attitude towards him changes dramatically. To maintain his newfound social status, Evan chooses not to correct the grieving parents’ misunderstanding. Gradually, his little lie grows into a complex web of deceit and spirals out of control.
A moving story about growing up, about identity, and about the universal need to feel a sense of belonging.
An award-winning musical (winner of six Tony Awards and an Olivier award) that has captivated audiences on Broadway and in London.
