WINNER OF SIX 2017 TONY AWARDS INCLUDING BEST MUSICALAND THE 2018 GRAMMY AWARD FOR BEST MUSICAL THEATER ALBUM.A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing hes always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.DEAR EVAN HANSEN has struck a chord with audiences and critics everywhere, including The Washington Post who says DEAR EVAN HANSEN is one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history. The New York Times calls it a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical. And NBC Nightly News declares the musical an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.DEAR EVAN HANSEN features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal).All patrons, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Dear Evan Hansen is recommended for ages 12+If you have tickets that say the Oriental Theatre, your original tickets are still good at the newly named James M. Nederlander Theatre and we look forward to seeing you there!

James M. Nederlander Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

James M. Nederlander Theatre is at 24 W. Randolph St, Chicago, IL.

The CIBC Theatre opened as the Majestic Theatre in 1906 and was Chicago’s first million-dollar-plus venue and the city’s tallest building at the time. A hot spot on the vaudeville circuit and later host to such luminaries as Harry Houdini and Lily Langtry, the Majestic closed during the Great Depression and was shuttered for 15 years. Much of the original design was retained when the theatre was remodeled and reopened in 1945, in time for the heyday of favorites like CAROUSEL, SOUTH PACIFIC, and GUYS AND DOLLS. The CIBC Theatre has hosted the pre-Broadway world premieres of Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp’s MOVIN’ OUT and Monty Python’s SPAMALOT, and KINKY BOOTS. Recent shows include the Chicago favorites, JERSEY BOYS, THE BOOK OF MORMON and HAMILTON.
