An award-winning musical coming to Norwich has revealed its cast featuring stars from the West End.
The Olivier, Tony and Grammy-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen musical follows an anxious high school pupil who wants nothing more than to be liked.
But on Evan's way to fitting in, he does not tell the whole truth and as events spiral he faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.
Ryan Kopel, who has previously starred in Newsies and The Book Of Mormon, is taking on the lead role.

He will be supported by Lauren Conroy, playing Zoe Murphy, who starred in Bath Theatre Royal's Into The Woods, as well as Wicked's Alice Fearn playing Evan's mum, Heidi.
The musical is heading on tour in September, starting at the Nottingham Playhouse before finishing at Norwich Theatre Royal from May 13 to May 17 next year.
Director Adam Penford said: “I am beyond thrilled with the talented cast we have assembled.
"An exciting mix of musical theatre legends and rising stars."
