Be More Chill is headed to the New York stage for its highly anticipated run Off-Broadway. The show comes with a hoard of fans ready to show their love for the cast and creatives. Cast member Lauren Marcus recently revealed her own personal journey, publicly announcing her diagnosis of alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.
In the spring of 2017, Joe Iconis noticed that he was getting tagged in Twitter and Instagram posts about his sci-fi musical Be More Chill. This was unusual because aside from regional productions, the show only had one professional run, at Two River Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey in the spring of 2015, and the cast recording had been released in October 2015.
