Dear Evan Hansen presented by Kreeger Theatre at Arena Stage

Best known for his role as underdog Benji Applebaum in the two Pitch Perfect movies, Ben Platt takes a break from filming to tackle the title role in Dear Evan Hansen, the world-premiere musical coming to D.C.'s Arena Stage this summer. Set to an original score by Tony nominees Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (A Christmas Story, Dogfight), a book by Steven Levenson (Showtime's Masters of Sex) and directed by three-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, If/Then), Dear Evan Hansen is a contemporary, intimate story of hope, heartache and the things in life we all need -- friends, family and a place to call home.
