Dear Evan Hansen

This event is part of the Norfolk Theater Festival in March-April 2026. Learn more here.

This 6X Tony Award-winning best musical introduces us to Evan, who writes a letter that was never meant to be read. It finds its way into the hands of a grieving mother who thinks her son wrote the letter to Evan before taking his own life. She refuses to believe her son didn’t write the letter, so Evan goes along with it and creates a story that changes everyone’s lives forever. Dear Evan Hansen contains strong profanity, adult situations, conversations about suicide and dark comedy.
