New ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ North American tour begins September 2024

Producers Crossroads Live North America announced today that a new, licensed North American tour of Dear Evan Hansen, the Tony and Grammy-winning Best Musical sensation, will launch in Houston, TX in September 2024.

The tour is expected to run more than 30 weeks including stops in Dallas, TX; St. Paul, MN; Lincoln, NE; Melbourne, FL; Sarasota, FL; Eau Claire, WI and more to be announced. Casting and creative team will be announced at a later date.

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by the Washington PostDear Evan Hansen is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look — from the point of view of both the parents and young people — at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives. 

Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for—the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other—and ourselves—along the way. 

Including some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, including “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through A Window,” and “For Forever,” Dear Evan Hansen features an uplifting score by the Tony ®, Grammy®, and Oscar® winning team behind The Greatest Showman and La La Land, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson. 

Dear Evan Hansen was originally produced on Broadway, North American Tour, Toronto and London by Stacey Mindich.  The Broadway production opened at the Music Box Theatre to rave reviews on December 4, 2016, won six 2017 Tony Awards and ran through September 18, 2022. A record-breaking North American Tour launched in October 2018 and played over 100 cities before ending on July 2, 2023.  

Dear Evan Hansen is presented through a special licensing arrangement with MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL, New York, NY. For more information on licensing and future productions of Dear Evan Hansen, visit www.mtishows.com.
