This February, another smash hit musical will take the stage at Teatru Manoel with a performance that is sure to  provoke thought and entertain. Jointly produced by Teatru Manoel and FM Theatre Productions, ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ is an award-winning musical  with book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson and score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. 

The musical revolves around a teenage boy, Evan Hansen who suffers from social anxiety. As assigned by his therapist, he writes letters to himself to build his confidence. One day, a letter of his ends up in the hands of classmate  Connor Murphy, who soon after takes his own life. When Connor’s parents contact Evan to give him the letter they believe was ‘addressed’ to him, Evan finds himself caught in a whirlwind of events, leaving him at the centre of an ever-growing lie that spirals out of control after going viral on social media.
