Be More Chill

This hilarious yet heartfelt musical has resonated with a whole generation of teens and young adults who recognise, in its story and songs, the struggles of adolescence, and the lure of social media, technology and other fixes.

Jeremy Heere is just an average dorky nothing-special teenager at a nothing-special New Jersey high school. That is, until he discovers The SQUIP, a supercomputer inside a tiny pill he swallows with Mountain Dew, that promises him everything he desires: Girls. Popularity. Being. More. Chill.

But, in exchange for party invites and the attention of the girl of his dreams, it deletes everything important to him, including his best friend - Is this what Jeremy really wants?

The musical has become a fan streaming sensation alongside ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ and ‘Hamilton’, featuring songs like 'Michael in the Bathroom', 'A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into' and 'I Love Play Rehearsal' that have now been downloaded millions of times.

It’s just your not-so-typical science fiction pop-rock love story. Guy likes Girl, Girl likes theatre, Supercomputer likes world domination!

According to The New Yorker, "If you fed 'Dear Evan Hansen' and 'Mean Girls' to the 'Little Shop of Horrors' plant, you'd get Be More Chill."
