Dear Evan Hansen - Review


The Olivier, Tony® & Grammy® Award-Winning Best Musical


"Dear Evan Hansen," has been hailed as the musical of its generation, delivering a deeply moving and powerful story.


Evan is an anxious high schooler, desperate to fit in. However, in his quest for belonging, he tells a lie that spirals out of control, leading him to confront hard truths about himself and those around him.


This new UK production features a stellar cast, led by Ryan Kopel as Evan Hansen, Lauren Conroy as Zoe Murphy, and Alice Fearn as Heidi Hansen. They are supported by Helen Anker as Cynthia Murphy, Richard Hurst as Larry Murphy, Killian Thomas Lefevre as Connor Murphy, Tom Dickerson as Jared Kleinman, and Vivian Panka as Alana Beck.



Notably, this production is the first in the UK to feature an ensemble, including cast members like Lara Beth-Sas, Will Forgrave, and Sonny Monaghan, who was discovered through a TikTok audition process.


The musical’s celebrated score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman) and book by Steven Levenson have earned it Tony®, Olivier, and Grammy® Awards. Directed by Adam Penford, this UK tour marks the first time the Broadway and West End sensation will travel across the UK & Ireland.


Seeing "Dear Evan Hansen" for the second time was just as captivating as the first. It’s a heartfelt production that resonates deeply with audiences, tackling relevant and emotional themes. Ryan Kopel gave a heartfelt and emotional performance as Evan Hansen.


"Dear Evan Hansen" continues at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham until Saturday, 26 October 2024. Tickets are available here.
