#TheaterPH - Dear Evan Hansen is Coming to Manila This September!

Get ready, theater lovers! The critically acclaimed, Tony award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen is finally making its way to the Philippines. This September, the UK touring production of this beloved musical will be gracing the stage at The Theatre at Solaire, bringing its powerful story and unforgettable music to Filipino audiences for the very first time.

Why the Excitement? Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions, shares, "Filipino audiences have been asking for Dear Evan Hansen for years, and we’re beyond excited to finally bring this production to Manila. The story, music, and message of Dear Evan Hansen resonate so deeply with so many people, and we can’t wait for Filipino fans to experience it live."

A Story That Speaks to a Generation 

Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of Evan, an anxious high school student longing for a sense of belonging. When a misunderstanding spirals into something far bigger than he ever imagined, he faces an impossible decision: tell the truth and lose everything or embrace a lie that brings him closer to the life he has always dreamed of. As the story unfolds, Evan navigates the complexities of truth, connection, and self-acceptance in a world that often feels isolating.

Award-Winning Production 

This UK touring production is produced by ATG Productions, Gavin Kalin Productions, and Nottingham Playhouse. With music by the Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Steven Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen has been recognized as one of the most impactful musicals of the past decade. It has won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

Director's Insight 

Director Adam Penford shares, “Dear Evan Hansen has thrilled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic since it first premiered in 2016. Evan's powerful story grips and moves people through a captivating script and musical score. This exciting UK and International tour production offers the opportunity to reexamine some of its contemporary themes and present this brand-new version to more people."

Global Hit Arrives in Manila 

Since its Broadway debut in 2016, Dear Evan Hansen has touched the hearts of audiences across the globe, earning praise for its powerful themes and performances. The New York Times called it "a breathtaking knockout of a musical," while The Washington Post hailed it as "one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history."
