Nerd. Pretender. Athlete. Prom Queen. Hopeful. These are tags that can shape a lifetime. With a powerfully captivating rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, "13: The Musical" presents a tale of acceptance and uniqueness.
Our protagonist, Evan Goldman, is yanked from his frenetic preteen life in the bustling heart of New York City and dropped into the slow-paced reality of a small Indiana town in the aftermath of his parents' divorce. Amid a crowd of unassuming middle school peers, he's faced with the challenge of carving his niche in the social hierarchy. Can he secure a comfortable spot on the social ladder...or will he hang at the bottom with the misfits?!? With laughter, tears, and unforgettable tunes, "13: The Musical" is an exploration of growing up that will resonate with everyone who's been there – and a reminder for those who have forgotten.
13: The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
