What if popularity came in the form of a pill?
Would you take without asking any questions in the hopes of being the next big thing?
'Be More Chill', presented by Phoenix Theatre Company, explores a world where this is possible thanks to some mysterious new technology. However, this does come at a cost... And a cost a little harder to swallow than the pill itself. So, what could possibly go wrong? The answer lies within this contemporary, retro sci-fi, exciting, comically subversive and deeply felt new musical.
Ultimately, the show proves that there's never been a better time in history to just be yourself... Especially if you're a loser!
The initial premiere of this show in New York was a hit with audiences and critics, proving that you don't need to be a millennial to enjoy what 'Be More Chill' addresses and takes on.

It hasn't just made a splash in New York, though. 'Be More Chill' has inspired a dedicated community of fans across the globe, as the subject of fan art, album streaming, Tumblr sharing...
“We are absolutely thrilled that so much of the Western Australian premiere company will be treading the boards with us at Fringe World,” Krispin Maesalu, President of Phoenix Theatre Inc says.
“This company has collaborated to bring Joe Iconis and Joe Tracz’s striking and universal musical to life and we could not have been more thrilled with the outpouring of love we received from our fans around the world. The entire company cannot wait to bring the production to an even greater audience at Subilicious.”
