The official behind-the-scenes book of the hit musical that won 6 Tony
Awards, now also a major motion picture!
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to
be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to
get the one thing he's always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Both
deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new
American musical about life and the way we live it.
The book-produced by Melcher Media, the team behind Hamilton,
Wicked, Rent, and many more-tells the story of the musical from its
conception nearly a decade ago to the Broadway stage. From developing
the idea to writing the show, composing, casting, and rehearsals, Dear
Evan Hansen appeals to fans far and wide offering them the opportunity
to continuously revisit the show, and for those who haven't seen the
musical, reading the book will make them feel like they have.
Filled with interviews with the cast and crew, original
behind-the-scenes photography, a deeper look into Evan's fictional world
and the visual world of the show, unreleased lyrics, and of course the
libretto, as well as reflections on the creators own formative memories
from their adolescence as it relates to the show's themes, and important
examinations of how we present ourselves online and mental health, Dear
Evan Hansen is a beautifully produced, thoughtful, and uplifting book.
