FM Theatre Productions and Teatru Manoel to bring the six-time Tony award winning musical to the stage featuring a stellar line-up of local performers.
This February, another smash hit musical will take the stage at Teatru Manoel with a performance that is sure to provoke thought and entertain. Jointly produced by Teatru Manoel and FM Theatre Productions, ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ is an award-winning musical with book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson and score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
The musical revolves around a teenage boy, Evan Hansen who suffers from social anxiety. As assigned by his therapist, he writes letters to himself to build his confidence. One day, a letter of his ends up in the hands of classmate Connor Murphy, who soon after takes his own life. When Connor’s parents contact Evan to give him the letter they believe was ‘addressed’ to him, Evan finds himself caught in a whirlwind of events, leaving him at the center of an ever-growing lie that spirals out of control after going viral on social media.
In this production by FM Theatre Productions and Teatru Manoel, the role of Evan Hansen will be played alternately by Kyle Mangani and Luigi Buhagiar, with Kristen Abela and Charlotte Formosa sharing the role of Zoe Murphy. Completing the stellar cast are Dorothy Bezzina, Nadine Farrugia, Raphael Pace, Thomas Camilleri, Jamie Cardona, and Carla Fenech.
‘Dear Evan Hansen’ is directed by Denise Mulholland, with Kris Spiteri as the show’s Musical Director, set design by Matthew Cassar and videography by Dylan Odom.
Performances run from the 7th to the 9th February and the 13th to the 16th of February at 7:30pm, with an additional matinee taking place at 3pm on Sunday the 16th.
