Sci-fi musical Be More Chill boasts an impressive online following of faithful fans and has enjoyed outings both in the West End and on Broadway. 

The show’s storyline follows the fortunes of high-school student and social outcast Jeremy Heere, who’s desperate not only to become popular with his peer group but also impress the girl of his dreams. 
The answer to his problems seems to be the ‘SQUIP’ - a supercomputer pill that tells its user what to do and say. But after swallowing the ‘medication’, Jeremy finds out that trying to be someone you’re not can come at a significant cost... 

The show is based on the same-named 2004 novel by Ned Vizzini, a much-heralded young writer who died by suicide at the age of 32.
