'Dear Evan Hansen' Cast Receives Celeb Support at Broadway Opening!

Zendaya and Darren Criss are showing their support for this season’s hottest new musical, Dear Evan Hansen!

The show opened in New York City on Sunday (December 4) at the Music Box Theater – and lots of celebs caught the performance, including Sutton Foster with husband Ted Griffin, Aaron Tveit, Tina Fey with husband Jeff Raymond, Zachary Quinto, and Waitress composer Sara Bareilles with collaborator Jessie Nelson.

The cast – including Ben Platt, the star of the show, Rachel Bay Jones, Michael Park, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Kristolyn Lloyd, Will Roland, Mike Faist, as well as writers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, director Michael Greif, and music supervisor Alex Lacamoire – were seen hanging out at the after party at the Pierre Hotel!

The New York Times reports that the show is a “gorgeous heartbreaker of a musical,” and Variety says, “lyrics go beyond the spoken thought and reach for the unspoken feelings hiding behind the words.”
