The SQUIP is booting up for action again! After a London premiere at The Other Palace, Be More Chill comes to the West End in 2021. Be More Chill is at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
If you're a science-fiction fan, or enjoy musicals like Heathers, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dear Evan Hansen, you'll enjoy Be More Chill. It follows high-schooler Jeremy Heere, deciding to step into the spotlight after a lifetime of being outcasted. You can't control other high schoolers, but you can control yourself. Or so it seems at first.
Taking matters into his own hands, Jeremy decides to swallow a Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor, or SQUIP for short. This SQUIP will radically change Jeremy's personality, sending his popularity levels skyrocketing. But, when the SQUIP gains its own power, Jeremy and his peers realise it's better to just be yourself.
Be More Chill is based on Ned Vizzini's 2004 novel of the same name. The Be More Chill musical was first seen in 2015 at the Two River Theater in New Jersey. But it was thanks to music streamers that Be More Chill gained popularity, with hits like "Michael in the Bathroom" taking over the social media platform, Tumblr.
Be More Chill on Broadway played 30 previews and 177 performances at the Lyceum Theatre. The musical was nominated for one Tony; best original score for Joe Iconis. Now is your chance to see the mind-bendingly, delightfully fun, hit musical in London. In a review of the London production, "With its futuristic plot, which involves teenagers swallowing a mind-altering drug that brings them a more confident alter-ego that only they can see who issues them instructions on how to challenge and channel their insecurities, it's like a hallucinogenic nightmare."
