artist-approved selection of 10 songs from the Oscar-winning music

A new edition of the hugely successful musical by Steven Levenson,
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, published alongside its West End
premiere and featuring exclusive content. 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 he's always wanted: a chance to belong. Both deeply personal
and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a groundbreaking
musical about truth, fiction, and the price we're willing to pay
for the possibility to connect. The production opened in Washington
DC in 2015, off-Broadway in 2016, and on Broadway later that year,
before winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book
and Best Score, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater
Album. This official West End edition is published alongside the
production's transfer to London's Noel Coward Theatre in 2019. It
features the complete book and lyrics of the show, plus exclusive
bonus content and colour photographs of the West End production.
'Dear Evan Hansen lodges in your head long after you've seen it or
heard it or read it. It feels like a pure expression from young
writers at a crossroad of coming to terms with who they are and
what they want to say about the world' James Lapine, from his

'Even in book form, Evan Hansen's story sings. Required reading, especially for anyone who's ever needed to be found' - Becky Albertalli, author of Love Simon
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today's going to be an amazing day and here's why...
When a letter that was never meant to be seen draws high school senior Evan Hansen into the Murphy family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong.
He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell.
That the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend.
Suddenly, Evan isn't invisible anymore. And Connor's wealthy parents have taken him in like he was their own, desperate to know more about their enigmatic son from his 'closest friend'.
As Evan gets pulled deeper into their family, he knows that what he's doing may not be right, but if he's helping people, how wrong can it be?
No longer tangled in his once-incapacitating anxiety, this new Evan has a purpose.
He's confident. He's a viral phenomenon. Every day is amazing. But when everything is in danger of unravelling, he comes face to face with his greatest obstacle: himself.
A simple lie leads to complicated truths in this big-hearted coming-of-age story of grief, authenticity and the struggle to belong in an age of instant connectivity and profound isolation.

The romantic musical comedy-drama film La La Land is the winner of
six Oscars, seven Golden Globes and five BAFTAs. This
artist-approved selection of 10 songs from the Oscar-winning music
by Justin Hurwitz, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul has been transcribed
for piano and voice with guitar chords, following the original
music and keys as closely as possible. Features the Oscar-winning
song 'City of Stars'.
The New York Times called it "a superb new musical with great art
and humor." New York magazines lauded it as a "musical gem with the
kind of surprising songs only found in the best musical theater."

caliber, a work whose captivatingly generous spirit is matched by
its exemplary intelligence and fearless embrace of deep feeling."
But Dear Evan Hansen isn't just a darling of the critics. The

the heart of the show is a universal message about our desire to
connect more deeply in a world dominated by impersonal digital
interactions. The Dear Evan Hansen musical follows the story of
Evan Hansen, an anxiety-ridden teenager who gets caught up in a
line that he never meant to tell and, as a result, finally begins
to feel like he fits in. The show deals with universal themes of
family, alienation, bullying, mental health, addiction and
belonging, while also starting a much-needed conversation about
what it means to be growing up in America in the digital age. The
book-produced by Melcher Media, the team behind Hamilton, Wicked,
Rent, and many more-will tell you the story of the musical from its
conception nearly a decade ago to the Broadway stage. From
developing the idea to writing the show, composing, casting, and
rehearsals, DEAR EVAN HANSEN will appeal to fans far and wide will
offer them the opportunity to continuously revisit the show, and
for those who haven't seen the musical, reading the book will make
them feel like they have. Filled with interviews with the cast and
crew, original behind-the-scenes photography, a deeper look into
Evan's fictional world and the visual world of the show, unreleased
lyrics, and of course the libretto, as well as reflections on the
creators own formative memories from their adolescence as it
relates to the show's themes, and important examinations of how we
present ourselves online and mental health, DEAR EVAN HANSEN will
be a beautifully produced, thoughtful, and uplifting book.
*The incredible lyrics to the hit song 'You Will Be Found' from the sensational musical Dear Evan Hansen in a beautifully illustrated full-colour volume.*
When Benj Pasek and Justin Paul set out to write a pivotal song for Dear Evan Hansen, they tapped into their main character's loneliness and allowed him to sing his way out of it. The result was 'You Will Be Found' a song that sets in motion a moment that goes viral in the world of the show.
And then something happened in the world outside the show: Fans loved the song. It connected. It went viral. People found comfort in its message of hope.
This beautifully illustrated edition of the 'You Will Be Found' lyrics is for them, and for anyone on the edge of a new chapter in life. It serves as a reminder to anyone who feels lost or uncertain that, as the song says - you are not alone.
