Dear Evan Hansen

Named by The Washington Post as “One of the most remarkable shows in musical-theater history,” Dear Evan Hansen runs July 9-18 at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca.

In the stunning, Tony-Award-winning musical, a teenager evolves from an anxious outsider to connecting authentically with those around him in a journey filled with humor, heartache and discovery.

A powerful, heartwarming story about learning to accept, embrace and celebrate exactly who you are, Dear Evan Hansen is laugh-out-loud funny, thrilling and deeply inspiring.

The preview performance is at 7:30 p.m. on July 9. The opening performance begins at 7:30 p.m. on July 10. Performances are at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. July 11 and at 2:30 p.m. July 12. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. July 14 through July 18, with a matinee at 2:30 p.m. July 18.

Director Gavin Mayer said, “For me, the show is about connection and how sometimes social media – the thing we think will connect us – is actually the thing that gets in the way.”
