Tamzyn and Jason sit down with the incredible Jacob Rozario, who plays Jared Kleinman in the stage production of Dear Evan Hansen.

The show opens in Melbourne on December 18 and runs until February 16, 2025, at the Playhouse Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne.

Dear Evan Hansen has won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Actor, as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album. This heartfelt musical delivers an intimate, heartbreaking, humorous, and uplifting message about the fragility of life, the need for connection, and the profound impact of social media on teenagers and society—making it incredibly relevant today.

With music by Grammy, Tony, Olivier, and Academy Award-winning legends Benj Pasek and Justin Paul—now EGOT recipients—Dear Evan Hansen is a must-see!
