Querido Evan Hansen

A musical following Evan Hansen, a secondary school student who, after writing a letter to himself, becomes caught up in a misunderstanding with his classmate Connor Murphy.

Querido Evan Hansen is a musical whose score has received numerous awards. Its protagonist, Evan Hansen, is a secondary school student who longs to feel that he belongs somewhere. On the recommendation of his therapist, he writes letters addressed to himself in which he explains the reasons why he hopes the day will turn out well.

The plot thickens when a classmate, Connor Murphy, finds one of these letters and uses it to provoke him. Following a misunderstanding between the two, Evan must choose between telling the truth, at the risk of losing everything, or accepting a lie that brings him closer to the life he has always dreamed of. The work explores themes such as truth, bonds between people and self-acceptance, from the perspective of a young man who feels cut off from his surroundings.

The staging shows how social media affects the various characters, without neglecting the weight of the performances and the emotion. The production has played on Broadway and in London before arriving at the Teatro Rialto in Madrid, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the capital.
