Get ready for the "high-energy, imaginative, well-crafted..." -The Star-Ledger musical experience that is Be More Chill!
Be More Chill has “easily relatable characters, clever twists and ebullient songs…from beginning to end” (NJ Arts) that captures and “perfectly balances the tragedy and hilarity of high school” (Tri City News).
Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini, Be More Chill opened on Broadway in 2019.
Jeremy Heere (Christopher Kocian) is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about "The Squip," (Ioane Boshard) a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine (Sarah Elliott), 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?
Don't miss the Hawaiʻi premiere of this Tony Award nominated musical, directed by Dr. Rachel Klein. Featuring music and vocal direction by Rachel Edwards and Choreography by Nadia Schlosser.
Rachel Edwards conducts a live orchestra to accompany this all star cast.
