Joe Iconis
Be More Chill (Original Cast Recording)

Based on the cult sensation novel by Ned Vizzini, Be More Chill--the original musical with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz--is the story of Jeremy Heere, your average, nothing-special teenager at Middleborough High in nothing-special New Jersey. That is, until the day he finds out about "The Squip." Thus begins a journey that pits Jeremy's desire to be popular against his struggle to remain true to his authentic self. 

Be More Chill is an honest, edgy, super-hilarious look at coming of age in the digital age, set to some of the most exciting songs in contemporary musical theater. This original musical comedy looks at modern issues like depression, bullying, and anxiety through the lens of sci-fi films of the 50s, horror flicks of the 80s, and teen movies of the 90s. Little Shop of Horrors meets The Breakfast Club in this celebration of outcasts, teenaged or otherwise.

Be More Chill was originally commissioned and produced by Two River Theater, Red Bank, NJ. Be More Chill's Original Cast Recording was produced by Kurt Deutsch, Joe Iconis and Charlie Rosen.

Get ready! Be More Chill makes its Chicago premiere this spring! Performances begin April 17^th at Chicago’s Apollo Theater. Tickets and additional information at BEMORECHILLMUSICAL.COM
