Dear Evan Hansen, we’ve been way too out of touch. Ever since you left the West End last year we’ve been craving for another run of shows, and now, our prayers have been answered.

This Autumn, Dear Evan Hansen is set to embark on its first-ever UK tour.

The Tony and Olivier award-winning musical will be coming to 26 theatres across the country from September 2024 to May 2025. The show will be stopping in venues such as Cardiff’s Millennium Centre, the Liverpool Empire, and the Milton Keynes Theatre – does anybody have a map?

With a soundtrack packed full of hit songs like Waving Through a Window, You Will Be Found and Words Fail, this tour is sure to make an impact on UK audiences (trust us, some of these tunes will stay in your head years later).

For those who don’t know, the story follows Evan Hansen: a shy and socially anxious high school student who wants nothing more than to fit in. But, in his desperate efforts to connect with people, Evan tells a lie that becomes more and more tangled as events go on until no one but him knows the truth, and that’s when things really begin to slip from his grasp.

Ever since its debut at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway in December 2016, Dear Evan Hansen become nothing short of a musical theatre phenomenon. The part of Evan was originally performed by Ben Platt (Pitch Perfect) who scooped up a Tony for Best Actor and then went on to play it, somewhat aged, in the 2021 movie. In 2019 the musical then made its way to London for the first time where the part was taken over by Sam Tutty, who also earned a Best Actor award.

Now, it’s time for another young lead to take the reins and lead this musical across the UK. So, here’s everything you need to know about dates and venues, as well as how to get tickets.

Sincerely, RadioTimes.com.
