Be More Chill, The Other Palace Theatre review ★★★★★

Move over, Evan Hansen… Cult Broadway musical Be More Chill brings teen anxiety and catchy songs to London

To limit the spread of Covid-19, all UK theatres have been closed until further notice. Those due to attend an event will be contacted by the ticket provider.




New musical Be More Chill broke records for the most ticket sales in a week when it opened at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre - thanks mostly to an online community of young fans streaming the soundtrack and spreading the word.


And it’s clear many audience members at the West End transfer already know the songs. As the second most discussed musical on Tumblr (after Hamilton), with millions of views on Youtube, this is a show about teenagers that galvanises the snapchat/streaming/tiktok generation.


Following in the footsteps of gawky teen musical Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill tells the story of Jeremy (Scott Folan), an adolescent outcast negotiating high-school hierarchies and surging hormones. But there's a sci-fi twist, as this particular nerdy hero takes a pill that triggers a supercomputer inside his head. The technology is supposed to help him decode the formula for fitting in, but this device has world domination in its sights.



Miracle Chance (Christine Canigula) Scott Folan (Jeremy Heere)


There’s lots of talent in the young cast but standout performances come from Miracle Chance as manic love interest Christine, Stewart Clarke as an icy cool villain and Blake Patrick Anderson as the loyal best friend and singer of show-stealing song Michael in the Bathroom.


Joe Tracz (book) and Joe Iconis (songs) have adapted the show from Ned Vizzini's 2004 Young Adult novel, Be More Chill. The story is simple, favouring fizzy comedy and sassy snapbacks over emotional nuance. Stephen Brackett’s bright and basic production cranks up the energy with plenty of high octane ensemble numbers and flashing neon lights.


You won’t leave feeling particularly enlightened, but you’ll certainly be entertained and uplifted. It’s the songs that hold all the fun and all the feels in this show. A combination of humor, tenderness and perniciously catchy hooks builds the viral appeal and leaves you wanting to track down the cast recording album on Spotify.
