Evan is drawn deeper into a web of secrets as his popularity soars, but he must face the reality that the price of fitting in is more than he bargained for. Written by the same team that did films ‘The Greatest Showman’ and ‘La La Land,’ this show is winner of six Tony Awards in 2017 including Best Musical. Come experience our unique staging of this world-famous coming-of-age story exploring mental health, grief, identity, and the power of connection in the digital age.
