Be More Chill
Jeremy Heere is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about "The Squip," a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine, an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk? Be More Chill is a rocking new sci-fi musical about growing up, high school, and what we will do to get what we want. Tony nominated for Best Original Score and nominated for 8 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical and Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical.
