Today is going to be a good day. And here’s why…
Meet Evan: an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. The thing is, on his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth. And now must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have. As events spiral and the truth comes out, Evan faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.
Dear Evan Hansen is set to open in Autumn 2025 at the Theatre de la Madeleine. The show will be adaptated and directed by Olivier Solivères. His previous work includes Le Cercle des Poètes Disparus which is currently running at the Theatre Antoine. His work on Le Cercle des Poètes Disparus earned him six Molière nominations and a win for Best Director.
Details about the upcoming french production are yet to be revealed.
