Regional News 13 Going on 30 Musical Sets North American Premiere

The musical, adapted by screenwriters Joshua Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, made its world premiere in the U.K.

The 13 Going on 30 stage musical is hopping the pond!

The musical, adapted by the original film writers Joshua Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, with music by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (First Date, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), previously enjoyed a world premiere at the Manchester Opera House in the U.K.

Now, the production is headed for North American as a part of the Mirvish season in Toronto. The production will begin performances in November.

13 Going on 30 centers on Jenna Rink, an adorably awkward 13-year-old girl who wishes she could skip over the misery of high school, magically waking up to find herself “30, flirty, and thriving” as the editor of a fashion magazine with a seemingly perfect life. The stage adaptation has been in the works since at least 2016.

Information on casting for the Toronto production will be revealed at a later date.

Directed by Andy Fickman (Heathers, She’s The Man), the musical features choreography by Jennifer Weber (& Juliet).

13 Going on 30 is produced by ROYO, Revolution Studios, Wendy Federman, and Phil Kenny, and is executive produced by original film star Jennifer Garner.
