The six-time Tony-winning hit has landed in Milwaukee! Now playing at Uihlein Hall at the Marcus Center what did the local critics think of the nationally acclaimed Dear Evan Hansen?
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was full of praise for the production, calling it "outstanding" and saying, "The excellent casting, the care with which each character is created and is performed, the heart-tugging music and the slick stagecraft make this the best musical I have seen at the Marcus Center in recent memory."
Our own Broadway reviewer, Nicola, said that "From the very first song composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul move you - they reach into your gut..." she continued with "I sobbed, laughed out loud, and was swept away by the important message to find your own voice and break through the glass.".
Dear Evan Hansen is a cautionary tale about how a lie can spread across a community long before the truth even has a look in. The eponymous Evan of the story is an anxiety-ridden high school misfit who is desperate for any form of recognition from his peers. So much so, that when his classmate Connor commits suicide after suffering depression, a mysterious suicide note appears in the weeks after, seemingly addressed to Evan.
Now infamous by association with the dead teen, Evan finally gains the spotlight that he craves. However, with a traumatized local community, not to mention his family, starts begging Evan for more clues about Connor's state of mind, Evan's world starts to unravel with frightening speed. With Connor's parents and sister Zoe (who just happens to be Evan's crush) finding solace in the note, it isn't long before the powers of social media start to question its validity, and Evan's own motives.
Dear Evan Hansen is now playing at the Marcus Center through to September 29.
The excellent casting, the care with which each character is created and is performed, the heart-tugging music and the slick stagecraft make this the best musical I have seen at the Marcus Center in recent memory.
