This will be NCTC drama’s first musical at the Denton’s Black Box Performing Arts Center at 318 E Hickory St., Denton.
“Be More Chill” is about your atypical love triangle – between a guy, a girl, and the supercomputer inside the guy’s head. The guy is desperate to fit in, the girl’s dream is to stand out, and the supercomputer just wants to take over the world.
The New Yorker raves, “If you fed Dear Evan Hansen to the Little Shop of Horrors plant, you would get Be More Chill.” With a Tony Award®-nominated score bursting with addictively catchy earworms.
