The Broadway smash-hit musical transfers to London

It’s impossible to be chill about BE MORE CHILL” (Broadway World), the mind-bending hit musical now playing at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre.

With a score full of addictive earworms and a universal, sci-fi tinged story about the competing voices in all of our heads, this “fantastically funny” (The Guardian ★★★★) musical “fizzes with feel-good energy” (The Stage) and features “an absolutely terrific young British cast” (The Telegraph ★★★★).

Based on the groundbreaking novel by Ned Vizzini, this original and hilarious musical exploded onto the US theatre scene and electrified audiences during its runs off- and on Broadway.

BE MORE CHILL is booking until 5 September at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London.
