Dear Evan Hansen comes to Mayflower Theatre in Southampton




THE Olivier, Tony and Grammy award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen is on stage at Southampton Mayflower Theatre next week.

Packed with some of the biggest musical theatre songs of the last decade, Dear Evan Hansen has a score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul – the Oscar-winning composers for The Greatest Showman and La La Land. It is based on a book by Steven Levenson.

The show’s many awards include the Tony Award for Best Musical, Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album.

The story introduces Evan, an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. But on his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth – and now must give up on a life he never dreamt he would have. As events spiral and the truth comes out, Evan faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.

Director Adam Penford said “I am beyond thrilled with the talented cast we have assembled – an exciting mix of musical theatre legends and rising stars. It’s been nine years since the original show premiered, and it’s an honour to be the first production to reimagine this powerful story through a contemporary lens.”
