Young Players Second Stage to Present 13 THE MUSICAL This Month
Young Players Second Stage will present 13 THE MUSICAL, onstage at the Royal Theatre, October 21-30, 2016, with book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn, and music & lyrics by Jason Robert Brown.
Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony-Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) 13 is a musical about fitting in - and standing out!
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situation himself on a comfortable link of the food chain ... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?
Directed, designed and conceptualized by Justin A. Pike, with music direction by Daphne Shoppach and choreography by Moriah Patterson, 13 is staged managed by Cara Smith and produced by Melissa Glover and Daphen Soppach.
