July 10, 2015, Dear Evan Hansen held its first ever performance at the Arena Stage in Washington DC. This musical quickly grabbed the attention of many Broadway lovers, bringing in a new and younger demographic. Set in a high school, the musical follows the story of Evan Hansen, a young man who suffers from intense social anxiety that affects most areas of his life. When a fellow outsider at his school named Connor Murphy commits suicide, through a series of events it appears to the Murphy parents as if Evan was their son’s friend. Now caught in a lie he can’t seem to escape; Evan is thrust out of his role of a “nobody” and into the spotlight.
A modern musical that is both emotionally complex and relatable, it won eight Tony awards after moving to Broadway including best musical. Showcasing a brilliant score, captivating story, and the voice of original Evan Hansen Ben Platt, it’s a hard show to not love. It even surpassed its “show” medium by being adapted into a novel and starting the social media movement #youwillbefound which emphasizes the importance of normalizing conversations about mental health to prevent suicide or feelings of emptiness.
Impactful, beautiful, and informative, today we wish a happy 7th birthday to Dear Evan Hansen.
"You Will Be Found" feels like one of those songs that the whole world needs to hear right now.
I believe this song could save lives. Its message of "you are not alone" and "you will be found" is timeless. We all need those reminders. I hope you'll give it a listen when you can!
Natalie Grant Enlists Cory Asbury For Powerful Recording Of “You Will Be Found”
Award-winning Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist Natalie Grant puts a spiritual stamp on “You Will Be Found” from the celebrated musical-turned-movie Dear Evan Hansen. Enlisting the help of acclaimed singer/songwriter Cory Asbury, Grant’s moving version of the hope-filled ballad is available today (12/16) — listen HERE.
“The first time I ever heard this song, I was so overcome with how it just made me think of the message of the Gospel. The lyrics immediately made me think of the love of Jesus and how it has the ability to find every single one of us. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done, there’s never a moment that you are so far gone that the love of God can’t find you,” Grant says. “I feel like I have the opportunity, not only to let the love of God find me, but to then let the love of God shine through me so I can carry that light and that love to so many people who need to know the message that no matter who you are, when you’re broken and on the ground, you will be found.”
“You Will Be Found (feat. Cory Asbury)” was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and produced by Grant’s husband, Bernie Herms. The track has become an anthem for those struggling with anxiety and depression, and Grant prays her rendition will provide a source of encouragement and peace for listeners as she points to the ultimate hope found in Jesus in the midst of a busy holiday season.
The nine-time GRAMMY nominee will wrap the 2022 “K-LOVE Christmas Tour” alongside Danny Gokey, Brandon Heath, Tasha Layton and Jon Reddick this weekend as the multi-artist outing makes final stops in Texas and Arkansas.

So this time last night I was watching @dehwestend for last time I could make to see it before it leaves the West End next month (along with the Broadway show) and I gotta say, knowing that, I cried extra hard, like I think I cried at pretty much every song, I adore that musical so much, like I know it'll probably come back in the future but not for a while so I just had to see it one final time and when I was already coming to the UK for Birmingham Pride (which I'm currently at right now), I knew this was the perfect time, this musical has such meaning to me, as I said before I went through a time where I felt like if I disappeared, would anyone really notice, luckily I don't think that anymore because I have such amazing people in my life to remind me of my importance but anyway as usual @samtutty and the rest the cast did an amazing performance and I will love this musical always 👕 👕 👕 #dehlondon #dearevanhansen #dearevanhansen #dehwestend #samtutty #evanhansen #youwillbefound #connormurphy #dehbroadway #dearevanhansenmusical #dearevanhansenbroadway #noelcowardtheatre #westendlondon #westend #theatrekid #theatregoer #musicalfan #musicaltheatre #musicaltheater #musical #musicaltheatrenerd (at Noël Coward Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5rxr9j5fE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
