Evan Hansen is on the verge of getting the one thing he\u2019s always desired, a

film\u2019s over budget, and the shark is out of commission\u2026 again. Stuck on a
too-small boat, Jaws stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider
bicker, booze, and bond as tempers flare and egos collide. Co-written by Ian
Shaw (Robert\u2019s son) and Joseph Nixon, this play dives deep into the hilarious
and chaotic behind-the-scenes voyage that nearly sank Jaws\u2014and made cinematic
history instead.\u201d</p>
