The Carnegie to present region’s first performance of Broadway hit Dear Evan Hansen June 19-28


The Carnegie will present the regional premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, the six-time Tony Award–winning musical, June 19–28 at its Covington venue.

With a book by Steven Levenson and an acclaimed score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Dear Evan Hansen has become a defining musical of its generation, celebrated for its deeply personal story and emotionally resonant music.

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by The Washington Post, Dear Evan Hansen is a groundbreaking musical that looks at our tangled, social media-driven world. One private letter, one mistaken truth, and one life-changing opportunity set Evan Hansen on a journey he never expected—toward the thing he’s always longed for: a place to belong. Winner of six Tony Awards, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary story that speaks to anyone who has ever felt invisible, isolated, or alone in a crowded room.

“Dear Evan Hansen is a story of connection and belonging—about the risks we take to be seen and understood. That idea is at the heart of what we do at The Carnegie,” said Producing Director of Theatre Tyler Gabbard. “We’re proud to bring this landmark musical to our stage and create a shared experience that invites audiences to see themselves—and each other—with greater empathy.”
