Heads up, theater fans: the Tony Award-winning musical "Dear Evan Hansen" is coming to Manila later this year. 

The UK touring production of "Dear Evan Hansen" will be staged at The Theatre at Solaire in September 2025, according to GMG Productions. 

"Filipino audiences have been asking for 'Dear Evan Hansen' for years, and we're beyond excited to finally bring this production to Manila," GMG Productions CEO Carlos Candal said in a statement. 

"The story, music, and message of 'Dear Evan Hansen' resonate so deeply with so many people, and we can't wait for Filipino fans to experience it live," he added.

"Dear Evan Hansen" tells the story of Evan, a high school student who longs for a sense of belonging. It features music by the award-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Steven Levenson.

The musical has won four Tony Awards, an Olivier Award, and a Grammy Award. 

"'Dear Evan Hansen' has thrilled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic since it first premiered in 2016. Evan's powerful story grips and moves people told through a captivating script and musical score," said director Adam Penford. 

"This exciting UK and International tour production offers the opportunity to reexamine some of its contemporary themes and present this brand-new version to more people."

Tickets to the Manila run of "Dear Evan Hansen" will go on sale on April 15 via TicketWorld, with early access to be offered via UnionBank.
