DEAR Evan Hansen, a daringly unflinching exploration of loss, lies and loneliness in a high school community, on Sunday won the 2017 Tony Award for best new musical, completing its journey from improbable idea to theatrical triumph.
The challenging and cathartic show, about an anxiety-wracked adolescent whose social standing improves when he insinuates himself into the grieving family of a classmate who has killed himself, picked up six awards over the night, including a best leading actor Tony for the twitching and tender, talk-of-the-town performance by 23-year-old Ben Platt in the title role.
