DEAR EVAN HANSEN
THE BUELL THEATRE: 9/25 – 10/13
 
IF ANYONE WISHES TO HAVE THEIR HEART OPENED, THIS MAGNIFICENT, LIFE- AFFIRMING PRODUCTION IS JUST THE TICKET!!!

The Tony Award-winning DEAR EVAN HANSEN, is now on view at the Buell Theatre for only one more week.
     It’s such a mind blowing, heart expanding experience everyone should see it.
     Especially families in crisis!!!   
     Or families who are in any kind of therapy that’s hard to talk about or express!!! 
      Especially anyone in emotional crisis!
      Especially anyone who even remotely appreciates the wonder(s) of the American Musical Theatre.
     Ben Levi Ross is just astounding in his acting and singing of the part of Evan Hansen. This actor delivers the exact right vulnerable sensibility for this character. His vocals fill The Buell with heart-swelling power and emotion.
     Jessica Phillips is luminous in her performance of Heidi Hansen, Evan’s Mom.
      Jared Goldsmith is completely “natural” and adorably forthright in his acting of the part of Evan’s hilariously outspoken friend, Jared Kleinman.
     The excellent scenic design by David Korins is married to the eye-popping Lighting design by Japhy Weideman in such a wondrous way you’ll be astounded. 
     Nevin Steinberg’s sound design is the clearest, crispest, absolute best to have been heard by this reviewer at The Buell Theatre in memory.

       “DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the story of the unintended consequences of following your heart.” -Tony Award-Winning Playwright Steven Levenson.

     You don’t need to know more about the story. Just go and let your heart be broken and mended in the time it takes for these phenomenal actors and techies to tell it.
      This production comes with highest recommendations from this critic’s desk.
