Where can you watch Dear Evan Hansen from home? Is it on streaming?

Dear Evan Hansen is the latest Broadway musical making its transition to the big screen. The Tony award winning play took the nation by storm back in December of 2016, and is still touching the hearts of people today with its depictions of anxiety, depression, and social awkwardness in a High School Senior. The film opened to mixed to positive reviews.

Dear Evan Hansen follows the life of high school student Evan Hansen; a socially awkward and anxious teenager entering his final year of high school. After the suicide of one of his fellow classmates, Evan is tied into a lie that will change his life.

Ben Platt will be playing Evan Hansen, as he is reprising the role he won him his Tony award for Best Actor, making him the youngest solo Best Actor winner in Tony history. Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Kaitlyn Dever, and Amandala Stenberg are all a part of the loaded cast behind Dear Evan Hansen.

Stephen Chbosky will be directing this film. Best known for the highly praised Perks of Being a Wallflower, Chbosky understands this type of material and actually set out to make this film after seeing it on Broadway.

The musical will feature songs from the Oscar winning duo Pasek and Paul who have been behind the music of films like La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and Aladdin. They will have two new songs added into the film that weren’t in the original Broadway show.

Will Dear Evan Hansen be available on streaming?

Dear Evan Hansen will not be on streaming as it has been scheduled for a theater only release. It’s possible the movie will be available on streaming a few weeks after it’s big-screen debut, though, and films from Universal Pictures usually stream on Netflix. However, Universal does have a new deal with Peacock, so that’s another streaming platform to keep an eye on. As soon as we learn more, we’ll update this post!

Not only will this film be in theaters, the official IMAX twitter account posted that Dear Evan Hansen will be available in IMAX starting Sept. 24.

Along with the regular release and IMAX release, there is another release of Dear Evan Hansen that will be opening night only. On opening night, there will be a Live Q&A with the cast, and a behind the scenes look at the making of Dear Evan Hansen, thanks to Fathom Events.

So, as long as you feel comfortable, go get your tickets, grab your tissues, and check out the Broadway musical that swept the nation only a few years ago.
