13 Jr.
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Now the new kid at school, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain, or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts? With a catchy rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade; The Last Five Years; The Bridges of Madison County) and a hilarious book by Tony winner Robert Horn (Tootsie; Shucked) and Dan Elish (13), 13 Jr. tells a timeless story about friendship and being true to yourself. A true coming-of-age musical, this 60-minute version is accessible to adolescent voices and features a cast of 14 roles plus an ensemble.
