They will be joined by Helen Anker (Mamma Mia!) as Cynthia Murphy, Richard Hurst (The Lion King) as Larry Murphy, Killian Thomas Lefevre (Bat Out Of Hell) as Connor Murphy, Tom Dickerson (Heathers) as Jared Kleinman, Vivian Panka (9 to 5 the Musical) as Alana Beck and Sonny Monaghan (discovered via TikTok) as alternate Evan.

 

This is the first production of Dear Evan Hansen in the UK to perform the show with an ensemble. The ensemble are Lara Beth-Sas, Will Forgrave, Daniel Forrester, Jessica Lim, Sonny Monaghan and Shakira Simpson.

 

The casting team collaborated with TikTok during the audition process, inviting TikTok users to upload a video of themselves singing numbers from the show. The team reviewed over 2,000 submissions and invited 36 stand-out candidates to the formal audition process with Sonny Monaghan cast in the ensemble and as alternate Evan.

 

Dear Evan Hansen follows Evan, an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. The thing is, while trying to fit in, he didn’t tell the whole truth and now must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have. Events spiral and the truth comes out, as Evan faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.
