You will be found. Don’t miss this poignant, heart-stirring, and beautiful musical—featuring an exquisite score by Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman)—in a powerful new production directed by Meredith McDonaugh (Village’s Legally Blonde).
Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life, until opportunity hands him what he’s always been looking for: the chance to belong. But as his lie becomes a legend, it sweeps him into a story he never intended to tell.
Dear Evan Hansen is a modern masterpiece that took Broadway by storm, winning six Tony Awards and hailed by The Washington Post as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history.” It is a contemporary coming-of-age story about the courage it takes to find your voice, and the truth that sets us free.
Welcomed by KNKX. Frank Vignola is one of the most extraordinary guitarists performing before the public today. His stunning virtuosity has made him the guitarist of choice for many of the world’s top musicians, including Ringo Starr, Madonna, Donald Fagen, John Lewis, Tommy Emmanuel, Lionel Hampton, the Boston Pops, the New York Pops, and guitar legend Les Paul, who named Vignola to his “Five Most Admired Guitarists List:” for the Wall Street Journal.
His dynamic genre-spanning music has brought him to 21 countries on three continents – and still growing – performing in some of the world’s most illustrious venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, New York’s Lincoln Center, The Blue Note, and the world’s oldest indoor concert hall, Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy.
Pasquale Grasso - It was the kind of endorsement most rising guitarists can only dream of, and then some. In his interview for Vintage Guitar magazine’s February 2016 cover story, Pat Metheny was asked to name some younger musicians who’d impressed him. “The best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso,” said the jazz-guitar icon and NEA Jazz Master. “This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficult. “Mostly what I hear now are guitar players who sound a little bit like me mixed with a little bit of [John Scofield] and a little bit of [Bill Frisell],” he continued. “What’s interesting about Pasquale is that he doesn’t sound anything like that at all. In a way, it is a little bit of a throwback, because his model—which is an incredible model to have—is Bud Powell. He has somehow captured the essence of that language from piano onto guitar in a way that almost nobody has ever addressed. He’s the most significant new guy I’ve heard in many, many years.”
