WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown brings together 13 cast members who are 13 years of age to perform in the world premiere of 13, a new musical.
The play takes place in a middle school in Indiana with a group of students who, like million of kids across America, are sorting throught the barrage of contradictory messages thrown their way, and through the comic perspective and complex emotions of life at the corssroads. Evan, in particular, is in a quandary. He's the newcomer and needs to figure out a way to get all the cool kids to his bar mitzvah. With its contagious energy and humor, 13 is a musical that speaks to teens, parents, and anyone who thrived or just survived those tumultuous years of classes and cliques.

It's a pretty safe bet that any adult reading this review would rather speak in public before thousands of people while stark naked, under a spotlight, with live video feed coverage, than relive the horrors and humiliations that defined life at age 13. Feeling like a freak, wanting to fit in, and identity issues were the order of the day, not to mention pimples, mortifying nicknames, and the unrelenting peer pressure to be someone smarter/prettier/hipper/altogether better than who you actually are.
