Dear Evan Hansen at the San Diego Civic Theatre
Dear Evan Hansen is an award-winning musical about social anxiety, grief, identity, and the longing to feel understood. With a book by Steven Levenson and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the story follows high school senior Evan Hansen as a lie grows out of the aftermath of a classmate's death. Its emotionally resonant themes and contemporary score have helped the show connect with audiences across generations.
The musical premiered at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., in 2015, opened on Broadway in 2016, and won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Its songs include “Waving Through a Window,” “For Forever,” “Sincerely, Me,” and the hopeful anthem “You Will Be Found.” A Grammy-winning cast album and international productions have further broadened the show's reach.
A touring performance of Dear Evan Hansen was listed at the San Diego Civic Theatre on January 10, 2020. That past date is the event information available here; no additional venue-specific performance history is provided. San Diego audiences encountered a musical whose themes of connection and mental health have resonated especially with younger viewers and community conversations around belonging. The show addresses teen suicide and mental health, so its subject matter may be sensitive for some guests; it is recommended for ages 12 and older.

Dear Evan Hansen San Diego reviews
Celine was phenomenal!
"Fabulous is Dear Evan Hansen. Fantastic she is, I have been planning to see her show for my 21st for years now. Live, she sounds better than on iTunes! I would have liked for her own songs more to sing rather than covers because that's what she mainly focused on. Great was the concert despite the covers, and I can't wait to see her again!
4 stars I gave, not 5, because a new day has come is my all-time favorite Celine song, and she didn't perform that one :("
