The South African premiere production of the Tony Award-Winning, Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen is now on at Artscape until Sunday March 9.

Evan Hansen is a relatable, socially awkward high school student navigating anxiety and the universal desire to connect. What begins as a misunderstanding becomes a journey of self-discovery, connection, and the power of community. As Evan’s story unfolds, he learns valuable lessons about authenticity, courage, and the beauty of being true to oneself.

The production has an all-South African creative team, cast, crew and live eight-piece band with Stuart Brown playing Evan Hansen.

There is an age restriction of 12 with parental guidance advised for strong adult themes and language.

Tickets cost from R200 to R500 with specials on Tuesdays. Book at ticketmaster.co.za
