The Santa Cruz Premier

All About Theatre is beyond excited to present Dear Evan Hansen for the first time ever in Santa Cruz!

Dear Evan Hansen is a Tony-winning-coming-of-age musical about a lonely high school student with social anxiety. Evan fabricates a friendship with a deceased classmate to gain social acceptance. The lie spirals, forcing Evan to confront the consequences of his actions.

It is a powerful piece exploring mental health, grief, the impact of social media, loneliness, and the struggle for connection.
