An earlier work of now EGOT winners Benj Pasek, lyricist, and Justin Paul, composer, “Dear Evan Hansen” (DEH), which won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Musical, has resonated well with audiences across the world because it tackles head-on the most relevant issues affecting the youth today: mental health, fake news, and identity and belonging, not to mention the family’s role as a support system.

Watching DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Robinson Center in Little Rock as a part of the Broadway series is a deeply moving and unforgettable experience in a way that only live theatre can affect the viewer. Written by Steven Levenson, music and lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, the show blends emotional storytelling with powerful music in a way that truly captivates the audience from the first note to the final bows. The intimate, raw emotions of Evan’s world, where themes of loneliness, mental health, and human connection are explored sincerely.

Watch Hatty Ryan King (Zoe) and Michael Fabisch (Evan) perform 'Only Us' from the new national tour of Dear Evan Hansen in this exclusive clip.

I always carry my little notebook to write my thoughts during the show (I know it’s dark but somehow I’ve mastered the art of writing without seeing the pen) and this time I couldn’t turn away from the stage for the first 40 minutes, even to take it out from my purse. The moment Marcin Franc (as Evan Hansen) is getting on the stage you are doomed as a snowman in a sauna. He’s pure musical. If his acting, stage presence, and dedication were a meal it would definitely get a Michelin, and when he starts singing you cannot believe that perfection can improve. His Evan is full of struggle, real, fragile, just wanting to come out of darkness and be seen. His social anxiety mixes with his desire to reinvent himself making him lost, and confused but Franc makes it all coherent, and most importantly, you don’t have pity on him.
