JASON SWEETTOOTH WILLIAMS – cannot believe it’s been 10 years since Be More Chill opened at Two River Theater. He remembers sitting in the audience on opening night 10 years ago, in awe of what was happening up on that stage, dreaming of one day being a part of it.  As fate would have it, he joined the cast for its subsequent Off Broadway run and then made his Broadway debut as Mr Heere. It was a lifelong dream come true. Jason has spent his entire professional career working with Joe Iconis and thanks his lucky stars for that every day.  He is also so grateful for the amazing Be More Chill fans whose love for the show and its message helped propel it all the way to Broadway! When you love somebody,  you put your pants on for them! Ten Hut!
