Ahead of its Broadway run, the cast of Be More Chill came together to celebrate the show’s marquee unveiling at the Lyceum Theatre. After a hit run Off-Broadway, Be More Chill will begin performances on Broadway February 13 prior to a March 10 opening.
Featuring a score by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz, Be More Chill is based on Ned Vizzini’s novel about an average teenager who takes a pill purported to make people more—you guessed it—chill. As previously reported, the entire Off-Broadway cast of Be More Chill will make the move to Broadway when the musical transfers to the Lyceum.
