Broadway Across Canada has announced that individual tickets for the Vancouver premiere of DEAR EVAN HANSEN have on sale from December 2, 2019. Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.ca. Groups of 15 or more can purchase by calling 1-800-889-8457. When and Where February 25 - March 1, 2019 | Queen Elizabeth Theatre Dear Evan Hansen tells the
story of a young man with social anxiety disorder. He yearns to make
a connection with his peers so he fabricates a relationship with a deceased
student to become closer to the boy's family. The theme of loneliness
would seem sombre, but, this stage musical is anything but. From start
to finish, when Evan leaves his room and finds an authentic life outside,
Dear Evan Hansen is far more joyful than sad.
