'Dear Evan Hansen' extends Manila run until October
Haven't secured your tickets for Dear Evan Hansen yet? Fret not, its Manila run has been extended until October.
Due to public demand, production company GMG Productions announced on Wednesday, July 2, that the musical will have a final extension until Oct. 5 at The Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque. This is an additional week from its Sept. 28 extension.
"Bringing Dear Evan Hansen to Manila has been a long-awaited moment, and the response has been everything we hoped for and more. We’re happy to announce this final extension so even more audiences can experience the impact of this production," GMG Productions’ CEO Carlos Candal said in the statement.
Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of Evan, an anxious high school student longing for a sense of belonging. When a misunderstanding spirals into something far bigger than he ever imagined, he faces an impossible decision: Tell the truth and lose everything, or embrace a lie that brings him closer to the life he has always dreamed of.
As the story unfolds, Evan navigates the complexities of truth, connection, and self-acceptance in a world that often feels isolating.
The Manila leg will feature the UK touring production with music by the Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a book by Steven Levenson.
Tickets are still available via TicketWorld. Prices range from P2,116 to P7,406.
The musical debuted on Broadway in 2016. It has won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
