The forthcoming UK tour of West End and Broadway hit musical Dear Evan Hansen is collaborating with TikTok to find the next generation of talent to star in the show.
The casting opportunity is open for every role in the show, including Evan Hansen, and for all gender identities, with or without formal training.
To get involved, upload a video on TikTok singing any number from the show, with the hashtag #YouWillBeFound, and then submit your entry via the website – see link below.
The closing date is Sunday 11 February, and you have to be 18+ to apply, and based in the UK or Ireland.
The UK tour of Dear Evan Hansen is directed by Nottingham Playhouse’s Artistic Director Adam Penford, and kicks off at Nottingham Playhouse on 9 September 2024.
Dear Evan Hansen has songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman), and a book by Steven Levenson. The show has won multiple awards including the Tony Award for Best Musical, Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
Director Adam Penford said in a statement: “Dear Evan Hansen is about celebrating what you bring to the world as a unique individual. It’s very exciting to be collaborating with TikTok to provide a platform for those who love the musical as much as I do to sing these beautiful songs. We can’t wait to see who is out there.”
Ed Lindeman, Head of Entertainment TikTok UK & IE said: “Dear Evan Hansen is already a huge hit with the TikTok community, with thousands of people sharing creations using the much-loved soundtrack. We are delighted that the producers have recognised this and are now turning to TikTok to uncover up-and-coming talent for the touring show. At TikTok, we’re committed to supporting theatre and the creative industries, TikTok is a platform where creativity is discovered, and emerging talent can really thrive; we can’t wait to see who will be found!”
The UK tour runs from 9 September 2024 to 17 May 2025, including a run at London’s New Wimbledon Theatre from 25 to 29 March 2025 – see all tour dates.
