中篇评弹《林徽因》是上海评弹团为突破传统评弹表演而精心打造的诚意之作。
2016年3月首演于上海兰心大剧院，首轮5场演出一票难求，创造了近年来评弹演出市场的奇迹。
评弹属中国传统曲艺，吴侬软语、琵琶三弦，说一段才子佳人或金戈铁马的传奇故事。在数十年前，评弹曾是风靡大众的艺术样式，每天听评弹是许多人的生活习惯。进入新世纪，随着娱乐方式多样化，评弹日渐式微，观众严重老龄化。为吸引年轻人走进评弹艺术，中篇评弹《林徽因》在制作、排练、演出中进行了大胆突破，视听效果令人耳目一新。

林徽因，被喻为民国第一才女。她是中国第一位女建筑学家，在动荡时局之中，以柔弱的病体和拳拳爱国之心，研究和抢救在战火之中的中国古建筑，显示出一代知识分子的担当。她是三位杰出男子徐志摩、梁思成、金岳霖的一生所爱，留下了令人猜不透的爱情故事。她是一个美丽的女人，她的一生尽情展现了才情、真情、爱国之情。

Lin Huiyin，known as Phyllis Lin when in the United States，（10 June 1904 – 1 April 1955) was a noted 20th-century Chinese architect and writer. She is known to be the first female architect in modern China and her husband the famed "Father of Modern Chinese Architecture" Liang Sicheng, both of whom worked as founders and faculty in the newly formed Architecture Department of Northeastern University in 1928 and, after 1949, as professors in Tsinghua University in Beijing. Liang and Lin began restoration work on cultural heritage sites of China in the post-imperial Republican Era of China; a passion which she would pursue to the end of her life.
