Dear Evan Hansen, we’ve been way too out of touch. Ever since you left the West End last year we’ve been craving for another run of shows, and now, our prayers have been answered.

Next Autumn, Dear Evan Hansen is set to embark on its first-ever UK tour.

The Tony and Olivier award-winning musical will be coming to 26 theatres across the country from September 2024 to May 2025. The show will be stopping in venues such as Cardiff’s Millennium Centre, the Liverpool Empire, and the Milton Keynes Theatre – does anybody have a map?

With a soundtrack packed full of hit songs like Waving Through a Window, You Will Be Found and Words Fail, this tour is sure to make an impact on UK audiences (trust us, some of these tunes will stay in your head years later).

For those who don’t know, the story follows Evan Hansen: a shy and socially anxious high school student who wants nothing more than to fit in. But, in his desperate efforts to connect with people, Evan tells a lie that becomes more and more tangled as events go on until no one but him knows the truth, and that’s when things really begin to slip from his grasp.
