Dear Evan Hansen at The Paramount Theatre
Wed, Feb 04 – Sun, Mar 22, 2026
23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora, IL 60506
A high schooler with social anxiety is thrust into the spotlight after a classmate’s death, leading to a tangled web of lies and viral fame, in the heartfelt and Tony-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen at the Paramount Theatre.
An honest and original story for all of us who just want to be seen.
Six-time Tony Award winner, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Chicago-area premiere.
“Dear Evan Hansen: Today is going to be a good day and here’s why…” That’s how Evan starts every day, writing himself a letter about why it’s going to be a good day. A coping mechanism for this lonely, anxious high schooler looking to fit in. It’s because of these letters that Evan finds himself telling a well-meaning, little white lie that snowballs into a blizzard of untruths. In the end, his unforgettable journey demonstrates there is a place for everyone to feel love, acceptance and to be seen—even when you make mistakes.
