Be More Chill

Lyceum Theatre (Broadway)

This was a show I first heard on Spotify, as it had done the abnormal thing of making an Off-Broadway Cast Recording, and got tons of internet hype. I was super excited to see it immediately after opening. I don't often stage door, but since I ended up standing around after the show anyway, I met some cast and was able to get some OBC signatures on my playbill, too.
