A hit with audiences and critic alike, The New York Times writes "Be More Chill is one of the most popular musicals in America." The Wall Street Journal raves "you don't have to be a millennial to revel in the spunky charms of Be More Chill. See it now if you can wrangle a ticket, because it's going to hit big - deservedly so," and AM New York says "Be More Chillhas the makings of modern classic. It's Dear Evan Hansen meets Little Shop of Horrors. A smart, crowd-pleasing musical comedy with superb pop-rock show tunes." The Hollywood Reporter says "uproarious laughter ...enjoyable, catchy, uptempo numbers, so winning that it's hard to resist," and Metro New York calls Be More Chill "a true 21st Century musical."

What if popularity came in a pill? Would you take it, 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. 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.
