Be More Chill celebrated its 100th performance on Broadway June 4. The Joe Iconis and Joe Tracz musical opened at the Lyceum Theatre March 10 following previews that began February 13.
Featuring a score by Iconis and a book by Tracz, Be More Chill is based on Ned Vizzini’s novel about Jeremy Heere, an awkward high schooler who succumbs to the influence of the Squip, a pill-shaped supercomputer purported to make its user more chill.
