Be More Chill - which recently had its world premiere in an extended run at Two River Theater, Red Bank, NJ - has music and lyrics by Joe Iconis, book by Joe Tracz, and is based on the novel by Ned Vizzini. The show was directed by Stephen Brackett with Chase Brock serving as choreographer. The orchestrator and musical supervisor was Charlie Rosen and the musical director and copyist was Nathan Dame. The Be More Chill cast album was produced by Kurt Deutsch, Joe Iconis and Charlie Rosen.
Praised as “a high-energy, imaginative, well-crafted world premiere musical” in The Star-Ledger, Be More Chill was lauded as “a vibrant, inventive musical that makes the most of every moment and features an abundantly talented cast” by BroadwayWorld.
Jeremy Heere (played by Will Connolly) is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about “The Squip” (Eric William Morris) - a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine (Stephanie Hsu), an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk?
The recording of Be More Chill also features original cast members Jake Boyd (Jake), Gerard Canonico (Rich), Katlyn Carlson (Chloe), Katie Ladner (Jenna Rolan), Lauren Marcus (Brooke), George Salazar (Michael), and Paul Whitty (Jeremy’s Dad/Mr. Reyes/Scary Stockboy). The six-piece orchestra includes Nathan Dame (Conductor and Keyboard), Danny Jonokuchi (Theremin/Trumpet), Dan McMillan (Drums/Percussion), Josh Plotner (Vocoder/Reeds), Mike Rosengarten (Guitar) and Amanda Ruzza (Bass).

Joe has good taste
The BMC fandom is just a bunch of kids yelling about Michael In The Bathroom, and honestly that's what I'm here for
I'm here for that sweet satisfying teenage b0i voice that will connoly has.
Stupid Steven you are everywhere. But yeah you're right, I think it's bc people who listen to musicals like this are the ones who can resonate with the characters, especially the awkward ones like Michael. The panic attack during the song is just the icing on the cake, bc it lets us know that we aren't the only ones who go through stuff like that. I can guarantee you, I cried at least three out of the seven hundred times I've listened to it.
Stupid Steven Can three people plz unlike this comment? (I'm leaving this reply when there are 669 likes)
Stupid Steven don't you mean what you're "Heere" for? Ok sry I'll leave
they don't yell micheal in the bathroom....
they yell.....
IT'S FROM JAPAAAAN!
I would give my right arm to see this musical live.

i'd give both arms and a leg to have seen it live with original cast for a decent price;;

Honestly facts
And the cute voice
I know right-
The casting is amazing
@Kendall Miller-Rider He’s 36 right now- which, SCARES ME.
Friend: who's your favourite member of the be more chill cast
me: oh I love George Salazar, but I also really like Gerard Canonico, but y'know will Connolly is great too, oh and then there's Lauren Marcus, oh and Stephanie hsu, oh wait I also really like Katlyn Carlson, Eric William Morris is pretty great too, then again I really like Katie Ladner, oh but Jake Boyd is great too, well I guess that answers your question
Friend: wait you didn't answer it at al-
Me: then there's the Joes and they're both great too
friend: stop please
Yes! honestly, it happens everytime! i just love so much this cast :')
I'm leaving it at 669 likes in honor of rich
I love how they got someone named Jake to play Jake😂😂
This is me. However, if someone asked me that, after shuffling I would probably say George.
THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY CLIPS FROM THE SHOW MAKES ME THINK THAT THERES AN OFFICIAL RECORDING THAT THEY AREN'T TALKING ABOUT
The_Fandom_Queen 124 I heard that they have one, they just aren't legally allowed to release it or something.

I love him lol
I was waiting for this comment lol
Gwendolf TCW
I fucking love the entire cast more than I love myself
Gwendolf TCW that part came on when I read this comment😶😂 and yess
The fact that Michael says " And through no fault of mine" resonates so much because it shows he acknowledges that it isn't his fault that he's getting treated like this and I just think that that is so important, sorry for ranting, but I love it so so much
I agree
i was thinking that exact thing like 20 minutes ago
I just always wanna give George Salazar a hug

That is my life goal probably never gonna happen but still

Mina Ashido Mina Ashido well for me it was ham DEH then heathers then finally BMC
don't get me wrong I 100% love this musical, but everyone's talking like Joe wrote the storyline. I don't want to be that guy, but Ned Vizzini was an incredible author. HE was the one who caught the awkward moments and feelings that make this musical so great. This "pop punk teen story" was what Vizzini specialized in, and just thinking about him is making me start to cry. I admired him and his work so much. It's crazy to think he's gone.
Jesus Christ exactly. i was thinking the same thing. do they realize????
they should by now lol
Well, the musical and the book are two different things. They may just be talking about the new storyline.
Anna Rose Well, writing a book and writing a musical are completely different things. And even though the musical was based on the book, he was the one who captured the “pop punk teen” feel of the book and still be able for the people watching it too get that vibe through the music and design of the characters. But I don’t really know what I’m talking about. I’m a band nerd, so this isn’t really my think ok pls don’t kill meh thx
who even is joe tracz
This is one of my favorite musicals, it seriously sucks that not a lot of people know about it.

what i love about cast recordings is that you can see the cast's faces while singing and the gestures they make and they're so in character. Its just the best.
I would sacrifice all my *_R ED m oUnT ain dEW_* to see this musical live

OHMYGOD
Be More Chill was such an amazing musical especially for kids in high school because everyone can relate to it on some level. I watched it thrice because the music and energy was infectious. I'm so glad the cast recording released on iTunes
How did you watch it? I've been looking for it everywhere
same!!!
JakeGoesOnline Dylan Girard
I went to watch the original cast at Two River Theater.
Sanjana Akula LUCKYYYYY.
DO YOU REMEBER HOW MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRANCE BC IVE BEEN WONDERING THAT FOR AGES
I honestly fell in love with this musical because of Will's voice. He sounds like a teenager with how bright of a tenor he is. I'm a transgender guy and this made me feel better about my own singing voice. Honestly this gave me a role that I think I could play someday. Plus Michael in the Bathroom is so dam relatable.
tristonanan
My little sister told me he sounds like a girl
tristonanan tenor saxaphone?
I cut off children's pinky toes
Your sister is right.
Totally I had my fair share of panic attacks at social events and it’s nice to know someone knows what I could be going through
George’s voice for Michael in the Bathroom was amazing!
The fandom is full of slightly angsty teenagers who relate to Michael... and that means the writers and composers did their work perfectly. I'm one of those teens, and Michael in the Bathroom really got me into the rest of the musical. Also the sci-fi. I love that shit.
But Michael's song is so emotionally intense in a way that's not commonly found in other musicals. It's so human, and everyone's been there, yet its often untouched on.
Very true, after stumbling upon Michael In The Bathroom I was pulled into the musical. I was so touched by it and now I love the entire sound track.
Ari ;-; same!
Same
Oh No um excuse me, I’m 30 and still relate thank you lol.
george salazar actually looked like he was crying while he was singing Michael In The Bathroom
unacorn 313 *he was*
He had an actual panic attack while singing it live
0 _0 wait how do you know ?
I heard him sobbing. My cold, dead heart cannot take it.
I love how this is just everyone fangirling over joe iconis
or fanboying
Innit 😂😂
6:27 is... rich singing about rich burning down the house?
Pancakes with wings I know!!
Yep
You know. Musical logic
"Yeah, I burnt down the house! So now I'm gonna be savage and sing along!"
I was wondering the exact same thing
How does Will Connolly's voice sound so much younger than he is? And THEY SUCCEDED HEERE I AM 2 YEARS LATER OBSESSED AND I ONLY HAVE THE ALBUM
BITCH IT'S 4 YEARS LATER AND WE GOT OURSELVES A BROADWAY VERSION which granted is closing in august BUT IT GOT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND I GET TO SEE IT BEFORE CLOSING

CaptainQuirky It doesn't make sense... But I love it XD
Well with this show basically everyone is in every number because it's a small cast
Don't trust anyone. Not even yourself.
Holy shit what
I DID THAT TOO WTF
My favorite aspect of Be More Chill is the "techno-horror/thriller" sounds aka when the squip is around.
J Belle it kind of reminds me of Carrie the Musical
J Belle sAME
J Belle same!!! Like in "the squip song" when Rich is talking about the squip the second time (where he yells "iiiIITS FROM JAPAAAAAN" instead of singing it normally, aka my favorite line), there are those robot undertones to his voice where it's all electricy sounding and ahh it's so good
yes i absolutely adore how every time the squip says be more chill it has that techno sound under it
Alex S. There's a carrie the musical?
6:20. Is no one gonna talk about George Salazar in drag. He's rocking those shark slippers

From what I’ve heard we shun book Michael though (I’ve yet to read the book but I know people hate him a lot)
Not wrong
This musical is honestly such an amazing musical and it didn't get half of the recognition it deserved. I'm SUPER glad it's finally becoming more popular, even if it's two years too late.
i wish more people talked about ned vizzini when they bring up how unique the actual story is... like he wrote the novel when he was twenty!
He was twenty when he wrote it? Oh wow!
fairycatLJT I am trying to writing a novel right now and hope I can get it done by age 20. Idk it’s not the most original story compared to this
Emily Rose right? It's going to broadway now!
The weird thing is how different the musical is to the book, just in the story
So glad I got to meet Will Connolly, he was really kind and didn't seem too weirded out by how nervous I was around him x) It was an absolutely stunning musical. Hope it gains more recognition over time!
Sophie Minyard it definitely has! i found this musical (and a bunch of others) and now the fans have started to build up again
Sophie I am so jealous! What did you say to him? He is amazing, i love him! (Btw we have tue same name! :D)
Sophie HOLY SQUIPS GIVE ME YOUR LIFE I NEED TO MEET HIM
Can't blame you for being nervous, I would probably stutter some shit like: "D-did you g-get new... legs?"
Sophie You are so lucky to meet him omg
smh when he said "teach me how to thrive" at 7:22 and i jus- tEACH ME HOW TO SAY GOODBYE

i’d give my arms to see the original cast
I'd settle for a decent regional production at this point.
It's from jaaaAAAPPAAAANNNNN
holy shit what i would do for a second production of this show or even just a bootleg..
Would making a petition for something like that do anything? Honestly I'd give up an arm to see this. Even if it wasn't with the original cast.
exit82theatre.com nOW, I GOT MY TICKETS ALREADY THEY JUST STARTED SELLING TODAY
It's playing in November from the 9th to 12th in Lakewood, NJ at the Exit 82 Theater. The tickets are only $20 each. I got mine last night. I don't know if I'll be able to get there with the rest of the costs since I'm all the way in Oregon, but I'm gonna try my hardest.

Keithers - I was gonna say that lol.
1:40 I love how everyone is collectively dancing in their recording booths aaaa
Alright can i just say that Will talking is now my life
this musical almost reminds me of a gender flipped, sci fi version of heathers without all the murder. like brooke and chloe are kurt and ram. jeremy is obviously veronica who becomes cool leaving michael/martha behind.
Hannah Duncan isn't it funny to think that Martha is actually in Be More Chill... well the actress that plays her is
I love the way u say “without all the murder” so casually 😂😂😂
Only in the musical theatre community
Except that Micheal helped destroy the squip while Martha decides to go jump
Willow Hills well, if you think about it, Martha Jumping is what inspired Veronica to destroy JD. soooo full circle
okay but who are the heathers?? its the only question i can think of right now
I always thought "Smartphone Hour" was an homage to "Telephone Hour"
They both start with two girls gossiping and spreads like wildfire to the rest of the social sphere

Jay Red it’s from a joy division album I’m pretty sure
Jared E oh shoot me either
Every School Musical:
Main Character (Jeremy, Veronica, Evan) does something stupid to impress their love interest (Christine, JD, Zoe) and ends up regretting it and backstabbing their best friend (Micheal [He is such a cutie], Martha, Jarred) and the best friends are always and I mean *ALWAYS* the *BEST* character. Oh and don't forget that they always mess around with gay relationships (Boyf Riends, Dead Gay Son, Evan x Connor) but they *never* go through with it 😣 (except sort of in Heathers).
But yet I'm addicted to all these musicals (I'm just upset about the gay part)
21 chump street and mean girls are good examples

space cowboy in that case same
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ONE YET
A NICE SOUL UPLOADED THE FIRST 35 MINUTES
No offense but what was Ned Vizzini thinking when he chose Jeremy's last name? All of the puns....
Hannah Johnson I think he did it on purpose. Because in the book there's a part where the teacher is taking attendance by calling last names and he says "Heere?" and Jeremy talks about how he always has to respond "present" so it doesn't get confusing.
Kat M ye I recently read the book and the squip told him to say ‘yo’ and everything was fine lol.
I’m still schoked that there’s a book, lol. I wanna read it xd
Lisa Personally I don't think it's nearly as good as the musical, so don't feel too much like you're missing out. It's not terribly more inappropriate but it's definitely noticeable. It is interesting to see the origins of some of the musical characters, though.
I saw something where Jeremy asked Michael what their last name should be when they are married and Michael said heere so he could say "hey vsause, Michael heere."
JOE ICONIS?? MORE LIKE JOE ICONIC
Honestly
Haha I get the joke 😂
I feel like More Than Survive is kind if like Waving Through A Window but longer and more quirky
MusicalFanatic04 yes!
Yeah in my opinion it’s better lol
And less depressing....
LMAO I love how everyone relates every song to other musicals 🤣
Like Halloween is the BMC version of Big Fun and stuff like that and now this lol
ThatOneEmoKid I feel like that's more micheal in the bathroom
omg george recorded without his shoes on
bouquetofllamas G
it's a mood
Oh my goodness... Watching everyone recording and still moving to the music and acting in character is so awesome. :D OH MY GOSH THERE'S A THEREMIN! These characters are just so exaggerated but not in an annoying way. I love the diversity of the songs and how they all blend in to tell this story. Michel in the bathroom makes me so emotional every time. It is so relatable. The actor who's playing Michel has such an amazing voice and does that song in such an amazing way.
George Salazar plays as Michael Mell
randomgirl L I completely agree. George is like the perfect Michael. He does mitb so well
ALL HAIL THE LORD AND SAVIOR GEORGE SALADBAR!!!
Yesss!
Sorry but you spelled Michael wrong
JUST LET US SEEEE THE SMARTPHONE HOUR BOOTLEG
Am I the only one who hasn't watched this show!?!!?! I didn't even knew it existed until 2017 WHAT THE HELL!!! I'M FREAKIN CRYING I WANNA WATCH IT SO BADLYY BUT, IT'S GOONEE all it is now is the album which is super awesome
MitzieGummyPaw I only just found it too, and I swear this is the only musical without a recording. It's so frustrating.
MitzieGummyPaw
I JUST FOUND IT February 2018! My friend had been recomending it, but I never decided to listen until this year!
I feel lucky to find it when it came out lol
Don't worry, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE NOT ALOOONNNEEEE.......
Woops wrong musical
I didn't know it existed until like December 2019. I've missed so much in my life. At least I'm early in the Beetlejuice fandom?
I wish I could have seen this musical! It's up with Heathers as one of my favorite musicals. It prompted me to read the book and now Ned Vizzini is my favorite author!! I wish more people listened to it because it's really amazing!!!!
is there some way to somehow watch the play irl? or a recording? ANYTHING?! P.S. I read the book because of the musical and both are so cool!!
Wait what book?
Linehp _ be more chill was originally a book under the same name
cotton oh cool I gotta read that
Love everything about the musical. I must say though.... Doesn't Jeremy have the most perfect nose?
And those weed socks
HE DOES! Why is Will so perfect?
Kyoko Hashimoto wait who has weed socks
Hannah Johnson Michael
IT'S FROM JAPAAAN!!
Totally something to listen to in the car
Obsidian Heartz is it bad that's my alarm...?
And I blast it on full volume
And amazing lyrics such as "I'm waiting for my porno to load." Perfect to play on speaker while your parents are in the room!
Jeremy's nose is the only straight thing about him

What about the fact that he wanted to date Christine, and that one of the reasons of getting a squip (probably the most important thing in the musical) was because he wanted her to at least notice him?
Jess Huitron
YEAH! #bijeremy2k18
Riley McLellan
Oh My God same
Jess Huitron Although those are very good points, someone from the cast or Joe has confirmed that no one in this musical is straight. If I’m sounding rude, sorry, I don’t want to sound rude.
Parts I love about this show:
Every part with George in it
Every part with Gerard in it
Every part with Will in it
Every part with Jake in it
Every part with Eri-
Ok I think you got my point XD
I... I am crying... I'm just crying... idek why, but I guess it is because I'll never see BMC and at least not with the original cast
I'm literally sitting in my room sobbing for literally no reason, and I'm pretty sure it's for that exact reason XD
"I don't even know why I'm crying?"
I'll kick my BMC loving ass out of here-
Kri • Elle lmao
This musical is extremely underrated but the people who do know about it are all amazing people who find it to be one of the most unfairly unrecognized musicals
Wait.... is Jenna ... Martha from Heathers????
Yesenia Yepes Yep! Same actor
Yesenia Yepes I met her she's cool
Avery Thomas SO COOL!!!!!!
It's Martha Dumptruck!!!
Audrey Moran Heere comes the cootie squad
drinking game: drink the amount of shots for how many times you think people have called him Joe Iconic
I'm the one who's just really obsessed with SQUIP's voice, IT'S JUST AMAZING, I NEED NO MORE!
Now I can say I was here before this blows up
Liam Benson same
Although if it does blow up, there's a chance of a second production so we can see it live or bootlegs!
Liam Benson It blew up
*YES.*
*heere.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
ya'll being like "I WISH I SAW THIS SHIT LIVE" dont truly understand the pain i feel unless you also live in new jersey
because this only played in my goddamn state for a limited time apparently, and i was able and ready to see the damn thing but I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL IT WAS ALREADY GONE
spook Oh, I understand your pain. Why did I not find this earlier!
spook (i know this a month late but) I live in France so I understand your pain. Idk if it even ever came to France? Like ever?
it's playing at exit 82 theater in November!
jake dillinger protection squad the first comment is from someone in New Jersey. So it could be helpful to them. I'm sorry to hear that you're in England, but I was aiming my comment towards the original commenter. Have a nice day. :) (and also, with the growing popularity of the show, I'm sure it'll come to England soon.)
spook SAME
what I would give to see the recording of two player game
My Lungs Will Phil And Dan Deflate There's 35 minutes up of the play on youtube. It has two player game in it :P
It's such a shame no one can see it anymore I'd give anything and I mean anything to have this as a DVD or have it as a production again I'm sure everyone feels the same about this awesome and unique show
One of my favorite things about this entire process is noticing how the people who's characters have no actual part in a song still contribute to the harmony. Examples I saw were Eric doing the Nanananas in More Than Survive, or Gerard singing about his own character setting a fire
They use a theremin as one of the instruments, I just realized! I should've guessed! XD
oh wow, this is amazing cause now this musical doesn't exist anymore and it's about to blow up. i call it. if this happens, i get three tickets.
5:40 is that martha in heathers cause she looks a lot like her
yep! same actress

I knew George confirmed Michaels panic attack but hearing him say it idk it just made me cry this song is my favorite and if I'm ever really upset I'll blast it and yell out the lyrics

Opal Starling pitiful chillsdrien
