About the Show

2017 Tony winner for Best Musical, this show is about being young and surviving the modern world.

Winner of six Tony Awards including for Best Musical, this show quickly gained a cult following. Pasek and Paul's catchy and emotional score, which includes 'Waving Through a Window,' poignantly tells the story of a socially anxious teen, raised by a single mom, who struggles to fit in at school. When a classmate commits suicide, a lie puts Evan Hansen at the center of the tragedy. But as his social currency skyrockets, Evan is forced to make a decision: Will he give himself over to the fantasy he’s created, or will he bite the bullet and risk losing everything he’s ever wanted?

The Tony-winning book of the musical is by Steven Levenson and the show is directed by Michael Greif ('Rent,' 'Next To Normal').

Evan Hansen is currently being played by Zachary Noah Piser, who made history as the first Asian-American actor to play the role full time.
