It's time for a visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins Tom each week with her reviews of the regional stage.

This week, Judy spotlights the new touring company production of Dear Evan Hansen, the multiple Tony- and Grammy Award- winning Broadway musical that Judy first reviewed when it premiered at Washington's Arena Stage in July, 2015.

Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony, Olivier and Academy Award-winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal). Stephen Christopher Anthony stars in the title role.
