Dear Evan Hansen, at the Théâtre de la Madeleine

Musical aficionados must be bouncing with excitement at the thought of seeing the adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen arriving in France, the show that has won six Tony Awards and has captivated both Broadway and the West End, as well as the big screen with Ben Platt in the lead role. Now it's Antoine Le Provost stepping into the shoes of Evan, a high school student who feels out of place and profoundly alone, dreaming only of being seen and heard. Through a lost letter, the disappearance of a classmate, and a mix-up, Evan gradually learns to discover himself and become someone in the eyes of the world. Directed and adapted by Olivier Solivérès, with lyrics by Hoshi, this show promises to move us and give us a deep moment of humanity.
