Be More Chill the Musical
$63
This high-energy musical poses the question: What if popularity came in a pill? Would you take it with no questions asked? In Be More Chill, achieving that elusive “perfect life” is now possible thanks to some mysterious new technology — but it comes at a cost that’s not as easy to swallow. Blending the contemporary with retro sci-fi, this exciting, comically subversive and deeply felt new musical takes on the competing voices in our heads. And it ultimately proves that there’s never been a better time in history.
Be More Chill opened regionally in 2015 and shot to internet stardom. After selling out the off-Broadway production in 2018, it transferred to Broadway in 2019 to widespread commercial success. “Be More Chill is one of the strongest new musicals of the past decade, a charming, astutely crafted tale of neurotic post-millennial geeks in love whose appeal is in no way limited to those whom it portrays,” The Wall Street Journal said.
