Be More Chill is a high-octane, sci-fi pop musical that dives headfirst into the pressures and anxieties of high school. When awkward outsider Jeremy Heere discovers “The Squip,” a tiny supercomputer that promises to transform him into the coolest kid in school, he jumps at the chance. But as the Squip’s influence grows, Jeremy begins to question the true cost of popularity. With a catchy pop-rock score and a razor-sharp script, this coming-of-age story explores themes of identity, friendship, and the dangers of conformity. It’s a hilarious and thought-provoking ride that will leave you questioning what it really means to fit in.
