Dear Evan Hansen
by Zach Theatre

Apr. 08 - May. 17

One letter leads to one life-changing decision. In this six-time Tony Award®-winner, the well-meaning but lonely Evan is forced to choose between truth or belonging when one lie spirals him into viral fame. With one of the most beloved scores of the decade, Dear Evan Hansen is a timely and deeply moving reflection on loneliness, connection, and the lengths we go to feel seen.

Casting for Dear Evan Hansen includes Evan Jennings as Evan Hansen; Leslie McDonel as Heidi Hansen; Dominic Pecikonis as Connor Murphy; Eugenia De la Garza as Zoey Murphy; Tracy Jai Sweeney as Cynthia Murphy; Rudy Martinez as Larry Murphy; Flynn Jungbin Byun as Alana Beck; JP Lopez as Jared Kleinman; and Will Mallick as Evan understudy.

In addition to direction by Dave Steakley with music direction by Allen Robertson, the production team for Dear Evan Hansen includes: Milo Bue as scenic designer; Brady Flock as properties designer; Jenny Hanna-Chambers as costume designer; S. Elliott as lighting designer; Darby Smotherman as sound designer; Sarah Hudson as AEA stage manager; Harriet Butler as AEA assistant stage manager; and Cameron Hamilton as production assistant.
