Be More Chill
Presented by Curveball Creative in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Music and Lyrics by Joe Iconis
Book by Joe Tracz
Based on the Novel by Ned Vizzini
It’s time to get an upgrade.
Jeremy Heere, an awkward teenager, gets a cheat code to high school in the form of a quantum supercomputer chip – a SQUIP. Will the popular kids accept him and Sync Up? Will his crush Christine feel the same way? Or will he learn that a cheat code doesn’t always work?
Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini, Joe Iconis’ sci-fi-infused score and Joe Tracz book became a viral sensation that took one teenage loser all the way to Broadway. Be More Chill is a coming of age story with a cult following and a contagious score.
