With 367,350 views on Monday, 12 June 2017 our article of the day is Dear Evan Hansen.
Dear Evan Hansen is an original musical written by Pasek & Paul, with a book by Steven Levenson.
The musical opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre in December 2016, after its world premiere at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC, in July 2015 and an Off-Broadway production in March to May 2016.
The title character, Evan Hansen, is a high school senior with a social anxiety disorder who finds himself amid the turmoil that follows a classmate's death.
The musical has received critical acclaim, particularly for Ben Platt's leading performance, the lyrics, and the book, and has served as a touchstone for discussion about mature storytelling and themes explored in musical theatre. At the 71st Tony Awards, it was nominated for nine awards, winning six including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Actor in a Musical for Platt.
