Dear Evan Hansen: Cast and Creators in Conversation

Ben Platt, Amandla Stenberg, Steven Levenson, and Stephen Chbosky with Ruthie Fierberg, moderator

Sep 12, 2021


Join Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning actor Ben Platt, actress Amandla Stenberg, director Stephen Chbosky, and Tony Award-winning writer Steven Levenson for a special conversation of one of the most highly anticipated new films of the fall, Dear Evan Hansen. Based on Levenson’s era-defining Broadway musical (also starring Platt), Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of a high school senior searching for acceptance and belonging amidst the cruelty of the social media age. Hear the stars and creators discuss bringing the Broadway megahit to the screen, why its story and music continues to resonate so deeply with people of all ages, stories from behind the screen, and much more.
