Be More Chill on Broadway - "Michael in the Bathroom"

Be More Chill officially opened last night, March 10, at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre. Check out some new footage from the Broadway production.
Featuring a score by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz, Be More Chill comes to Broadway from a 2018 off-Broadway run at the Pershing Square Signature Center, as well as a 2015 world premiere at Two River Theater, in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Inspired by the novel by Ned Vizzini, Be More Chill is described as follows: "Jeremy Heere is your average, nothing-special teenager at Middleborough High in nothing-special New Jersey...until the day he finds out about 'The Squip.' Thus begins a journey that pits Jeremy's desire to be popular against his struggle to remain true to his authentic self."
The Broadway cast features Will Roland as Jeremy, George Salazar as Michael, Gerard Canonico as Rich, Katlyn Carlson as Chloe, Stephanie Hsu as Christine, Tiffany Mann as Jenna, Lauren Marcus as Brooke, Britton Smith as Jake, Jason Tam as the Squip, and Jason SweetTooth Williams as Jeremy's Dad and Mr. Reyes. Off-Broadway understudies Cameron Bond, Troy Iwata, and Talia Suskauer are joined by Anthony Chatmon II, Morgan Siobhan Green, and Joel Waggoner for the Broadway run.

[@coolgurl6071]

[@RonHeartsMe]

If George doesn't win a Tony for this performance the world is RUINED.

[@dogsye9218]

RonHeartsMe Patrick Page will like to have a word with you

[@thecreator6568]

AMEN TO THAT!

[@devotedcetacean6568]

Ok if he does not win i think i might just commit not breathe no more

[@ThatsAmore123]

Patrick Page or Reeve Carney and I'll die happy

[@coocoocoocoocoocoo]

he literally doesnt deserve a tony omg

[@madrozehn]

His live vocals are just as amazing as his studio recordings I can’t *handle* it

[@leifpreskon3883]

His live vocals are BETTER!

[@iditne1096]

THEIR BOTH BETTER

[@katyishere]

Its George ,what did you expect?

[@zombqii]

Madison Zehnder THANK YOU!

[@ryanfaure3120]

Who else didn't see the length of the video and thought it was the full song and was disappointed when it finished?

[@oliviajoyner3217]

Me! I was so disappointed when it ended right in the middle of it when it was getting good

[@pnarbolsu7827]

AND THE TONY GOES TO...

[@dogsye9218]

Pınar B PATRICK PAGE!

I SWEAR ID GEORGE DOESN'T WIN I WILL LOSE FAITH IN HUMANITY

marine queen Then I guess you better give up on humanity because he’s not winning.

I’m from the future. Andre de Shields.

[@ThatFandubGirl]

It is just me or is his voice slightly more kid like then it was before, like it sounds a bit higher in a way? (Idk how to describe it).

[@emmalouise740]

I noticed that too! He's rlly developed it to sound more like a high-schoolers voice I think :)

[@ThatFandubGirl]

@@emmalouise740 yeah he has, and I kinda like it?...

[@manonhesseling3853]

Yeah it sounds softer

[@ranixhan9689]

ThatFandubberGirl! yes yes yes when he first started singing i was like what

[@izzy-tq8bq]

if you listen the podcast “how to be more chill” he explains that he uses something to make his voice higher to make him sound more like a teenager.

[@EveryDayALittleDeath]

I wish this were the full song. This song is one of the most realistic representations of what it's like to have a panic attack I've ever seen, and George Salazar does such a killer performance.

[@orbitalpudding3420]

Something to think about- what if the creeps is white because it glows in the dark

[@mas.4347]

Is it just me or is “CREEPS” now a white color or a vERY light green instead of a bright ish green??

[@ChaosShadowBox]

Light-white green, kinda like it was in the Two River Theatre production.

[@ohnoitsevan]

Its white now, it used to be a light teal.

[@solarkitty1849]

Moonbeam Sketches it’s just the camera lighting. I saw it a month ago and it was green like always.

[@katiekazoo6389]

@@solarkitty1849 oh ok I noticed that too and i'm just like oh it's probably glow in the dark or something but nope so thanks

[@smthnbatey]

It was green now it's white

[@sarahrodrigues4936]

Waiting for the Broadway Cast Recording to drop

[@wickedly4]

I so desperately want to see the entirety of this song. George Salazar is a national treasure.

[@anidalas]

1:42 I LOVE THIS PART IT'S SO CUTE MY SOFT BOIIIII

[@anncliare7860]

50% of comments *theorizing about the colour of creeps* 25% *george better get nominated or I STG* the other 25% *i would die for george salazar omg my baby😭*

[@sleepystal]

Oh my god I saw this on broadway and i literally cried. I'm also pretty sure that there's a theremin in this song, so that's really cool!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

There definitely is a theremin used in Be More Chill, often for when Jeremy's theme comes up, but I think the synth riff in this is just a synth, it sounds too precise to be a theremin. I might be wrong, though.

[@zombqii]

i cant be the only one that thinks Michael sounds the same on the cast recording and singing on stage like he sounds the same not auto tuned i love it 😂❤️ also i go to see be more chill in 165 days 🥳

[@moAkelly]

George better win a tony bcos he is the real queen!!! I love this but I kinda miss the green letters on the creeps shirt

[@Ellers-tc3ff]

I think it’s the lighting og the stage

[@madelienelindberg4345]

Dude the Halloween sounds and decorations are perfect and the way the song sounds and how it’s just changed so perfectly I-

[@the1r_b0y]

His voice has developed into that teenager voice, like a lot more soft. I freaking love it 🤍

[@juicesnap]

this song brought back way too many high school memories for me. So many parties where I was in the bathroom for way too long having panic attacks. I think people thought I had IBS.

[@oiiioiii_jj351]

What’s IBS??

[@allytherally6780]

He's beauty he's grace His vocals will hit you in the face😘😘😘😘😘😘😂😂😂😂

[@dawlurmelk]

I violently sob to this song everytime I hear it

[@beetlejuicex3334]

at the closing show this song got a standing ovation. if george salazar hadnt walked off that stage everyone would’ve cheered forever

[@marinequeen7126]

Omfg George is so good at his job

[@faceyjazz]

He has improved so much, aaAAA!!

Geooooorge chill with the scooping into the notes it’s good once in a while but not for every other word

[@DragonTail77]

I literally have seen all the videos of Michael in the Bathroom. I stg, we need other scenes lmao. We’ll never get another scene

[@ryanfaure3120]

The only scenes we get all the time are MiTB, More Than Survive and Rich Set a Fire 😂 the rest of the musical doesn't exist apparently 😂

[@heyitsblinded]

Did they change the color of “creeps”

[@dandycandy5813]

[@sammandriel6897]

I like this sweet tone

YAYYYY HOMEBOYYYYYYYY

[@charlottestokes6051]

How long do you think it will take for a bootleg to become available? I am betting on a couple months... 🤞🤞

[@chelsearobichaud1549]

I feel the panic attack

[@chelseacooley2432]

One of my favorite songs from this musical

[@writ_ten]

So this is why he's not at the lightning thief musical tour...

[@meile2385]

George owns my heart

[@clementine1827]

This is such a genius song

[@j03y_jinxx]

I wished I lived in New York so my mom could take to see it. I wish they would come to Miami. But life isn’t fair. 😞

[@anniec.s]

Just what I want. He is amazing

[@kristinasuphi3840]

Will this be performed at the Tonys or will it be more than survive.. we shall wait

[@ryanfaure3120]

I see a mashup of More Than Survive and Rich Set a Fire 🤔 I don't think they will perform MiTB because they're gonna want to feature the full company

[@camerongrace2354]

Or maybe pitiful children 🤷

[@audreyrasmussen540]

Unless they start with MiTB as an introduction then move to another song similar to how Dust and Ashes was combined with The Abduction for The Great Comet...but what do I know?

[@anna-mackk]

I like how this version is softer and sadder

[@tictac4063]

HONESTLY WE NEEDED THIS

[@RynsFandomsFun]

This is as close as I’m gonna get to watching it live!

[@SeesawChaos]

I think the ``CREEPS`` color glows in the dark, that's why when the light goes into the ``CREEPS``, it turns white.

Yaaaassss

[@ohnoitsevan]

George deserves all the Tony's for this tbh

[@x-evan-hansen-x9722]

I like the softer tone of his voice, I feel he used to sound a little bit too hyped before. I don't mean it was bad, just a little bit too unbelievable.

[@samanthavictoria3308]

Best actor Tony: Jason Tâm Best Featured Actor Tony: George Salazar Best Actress Tony: Stephanie Hsu Best Featured Actress Tony: Tiffany Mann

[@MaddieMP3]

Samantha Victoria I could see this

[@samanthavictoria3308]

Daisy Doll studios let’s hope it happens! Or at least Jason and George because hooooly crapppp

[@3lizabethrose]

You could argue though for Michael being a lead role and Squip being a featured role since Michael's part of the show before Squip appears. Either way, I'm looking forward to George's win and glad to hear such good things about Jason :)

[@samanthavictoria3308]

Elizabeth Cortes good point! I also met Jason and George. They’re so nice! Especially George. I just about died meeting him and he was so chill (no pun intended) about it! I’m all red in my picture with him😂😂😂

[@3lizabethrose]

Samantha Victoria nice! Between interviews and his vlog I can tell that George is the sweetest man

[@peridotasadeadbritishmonar7924]

[@spjw2566]

Will be very surprised if George doesn't win best features actor in a musical Tony this year

[@angelaaa8071]

I hope BMC at least gets nominated for a Tony, but at the same time, there are other shows that are really good competition and also deserve recognition *cough* Hadestown *cough* But this is my favorite show and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves because it has had quite the journey 💜
