Manila – Due to the overwhelming response from the Filipino audience, GMG Productions announced today the final extension of the critically acclaimed, Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen in Manila. The production will now run from September 4 to October 5, 2025, at The Theatre at Solaire.

GMG Productions’ CEO Carlos Candal shared, “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.”

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 UK touring production of Dear Evan Hansen is produced by ATG Productions, Gavin Kalin Productions, and Nottingham Playhouse. Featuring music by the Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a book by Steven Levenson, Dear Evan Hansen has been recognized as one of the most impactful musicals of the past decade. It has won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

Director Adam Penford also shares, “Dear Evan Hansen has thrilled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic since it first premiered in 2016. Evan’s powerful story grips and moves people told through a captivating script and musical score. This exciting UK and International tour production offers the opportunity to reexamine some of its contemporary themes and present this brand-new version to more people.”
