An award-winning musical returns to Paris

After its run at Théâtre de la Madeleine, the show returns to the spotlight crowned with three 2026 Musical Theatre Awards: Best Musical, Best Adaptation and Most Promising Male Talent. Antoine Le Provost was also nominated for the 2026 Molières in the Most Promising Male Talent category.

Born in Washington in 2015 before starring on Broadway and the West End, Dear Evan Hansen has established itself as one of the defining musicals of the past decade. The music and lyrics come from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the team behind La La Land and The Greatest Showman. For this French edition, Olivier Solivérès adapts the book, while Hoshi, Frédéric Strouck, and David Sauvage handle the song adaptations.

The story follows Evan Hansen, a 17-year-old high school student grappling with social anxiety and a sense of isolation. A single letter and a fatal misunderstanding thrust him into the spotlight. The show delves into the need for belonging, mental health, family dynamics, and the outsized influence of social media.

The cast of Dear Evan Hansen

The cast brings together Kevin Barnachea, Fanny Chelim, Armonie Coiffard, Antoine Galey, Antoine Le Provost, Michel Lerousseau, Lou Nagy, and Sandrine Seubille. Sian Ramond will step in for Antoine Le Provost. The performers are backed by a live orchestra under the musical direction of Léa Rulh.

Fully sung in French, Dear Evan Hansen runs about two hours with no intermission. These two Paris dates offer a fresh opportunity to discover this contemporary, poignant and socially conscious musical.
