Local theatre-lovers are in for a treat in early-2025 as Showtime Management and How Now Brown Cow Productions bring the Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen to the Artscape theatre.
Dear Evan Hansen is a powerful ‘drama musical’ that explores the human experience with a storyline that delves into universal themes of acceptance and the complexities of growing up.
The winner of six Tony Awards (including Best Musical), the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, and an Olivier Award for Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson, and a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dogfight, La La Land, The Greatest Showman).
'This is a show that grabs your attention immediately, enchants you with its characters and songs, pulls you through emotional turbulence, and leaves you cheering and wanting to go back for more.'
That’s how the Huffington Post describes the show that took Broadway by storm, but local audiences will be treated to an original production of the show, with an all-star South African creative team on board.
'From the set to the design elements including costumes, lighting and sound to the top-class creative team and soon-to-be announced multi-talented cast, Dear Evan Hansen combines the finest South African talents on and off stage to tell a compelling, sensitive and endearing story set to moving show-stopping songs,’ says Hazel Feldman of Showtime Management.
Dear Evan Hansen will run at Artscape from February 12 – March 9, 2025. Tickets from R200 – R500 available via Ticketmaster.
