Broadway In Tucson opens Tony Award-winning musical that has a message for every generation: youwillbefound.

Cathalena E. Burch The expansive Centennial Hall stage was transformed Tuesday, Feb. 21, into a flickering wave of social media posts, endlessly scrolling hashtags and pretty faces when Broadway In Tucson opened the Tony Award-winning musical"Dear Evan Hansen."

People are also reading… The musical, which runs through Sunday, Feb. 26, is both a cautionary tale and inspirational anecdote for our post-pandemic world, told through a wonderfully emotional and uplifting soundtrack. Connor's parents Cynthia and Larry find the letter in their son's pocket after he commits suicide and they assume that he and Evan are friends. Evan initially tries to tell them that's not the case, but he ends up in a lie to help the Murphys cope with their grief. That lie grows bigger with every visit to the Murphy home and puts Evan at the center of viral social media and school buzz that he's only witnessed from afar.

We see it in his classmates, Jared , the droll and sarcastic"family friend" who helps Evan create fake emails at the center of his fake friendship; and in the obnoxious, attention-starved Alana Beck , who can relate to Evan and Connor's feelings of going unnoticed.
