Dear Evan Hansen to Hold Toronto Casting Call

The upcoming Toronto production of the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen has announced an open call for actors to take on two principal roles: Evan Hansen and Alana Beck. The casting call will take place at Extonian House on July 23, with sign-in time 9am-noon. Auditions will continue until everyone is seen.

According to a press release announcing the call, interested candidates should prepare 16 bars of a pop/rock or contemporary musical theater song and bring along a picture and résumé. Those who are interested but unable to attend the call can send a picture and résumé to [email protected].

With a Tony-winning score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a Tony-winning book by Steven Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen is described as follows: "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." Michael Greif directs.
