Be More Chill 10th Anniversary Concert
With Joe Iconis and Special Guests!
We are proud to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the World Premiere of Be More Chill, the hit Broadway musical, with two nights of reunion concerts. With OG performances from Joe Iconis and plenty of very chill special guests, this is your chance to experience the Broadway musical like never before!
“Be More Chill is a show that changed my life in countless ways. I don’t know where I’d be had Two River not taken a chance on me many years ago and I am so thrilled to celebrate ten years of this misfit musical on the stage where it was first performed.” -Writer, Joe Iconis
Following the performance on Thursday, Jul 24, there will be a private Meet and Greet with Joe Iconis & members of the company in our Library for a very limited number of patrons.
Be More Chill is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
