Synopsis: "What if popularity came in a pill? Would you take it, no questions asked? In BE MORE CHILL, achieving the "perfect life" is now possible thanks to some mysterious new technology—but it comes at a cost that's not as easy to swallow. What could possibly go wrong? Blending the contemporary with retro sci-fi, this thrillingly exciting, comically subversive, and deeply felt new musical takes on the competing voices in all of our heads. And ultimately proves, there's never been a better time in history to be yourself—especially if you're a loser...geek...or whatever."
Be More Chill is based on a novel by Ned Vizzini, adapted for the stage by Joe Tracz. Stephen Brackett directs, with Chase Brock choreographing the production.
