Oh hey babe

[@Chiscribbs]

Gotta say - although I still miss the original SQUIP and Jeremy, I'm really glad to see this show finally getting the recognition it deserves! And the new choreography looks pretty awesome!

[@saschahoupt6177]

Eric William Morris and Will Connolly were great, but I’m sure Will Roland and Jason Tam are also knocking it out of the park!

[@yvainees]

Yeah. I'll always have a bias for Will C and Eric but Will R and the new squip definitely seem like great replacements, and I'm excited to see them in clips from the show (eg when they uploaded Pitiful Children on here for the old cast)!!

[@alinaamaro9125]

Why the original actors were changed...?

[@saschahoupt6177]

@@alinaamaro9125 Well, for one, Will Connolly is now WAYYY too old to be playing a teenager.

[@svenmurphy-deyoung8209]

Eric is busy doing King Kong! He’s staring in his own broadway musical!!! (yay!). There’s always a little sadness when the obc (or in this case the original off broadway cast) can’t make it back to the big production but Will and Jason will kick ass

[@teddydavis7479]

saw it yesterday, it's really impossible to describe how great it is. you gotta see it for yourself. Also they have actual mountain dew red at the consession stand

[@juliannajera9565]

The recasting is what I hate about it, but its whatever

[@boniwons]

Be More Chill resonated with a lot of people, and I think that's the real reason behind it's Broadway debut. Just wanting to belong, or at the very least, survive that part of life is relatable on a spiritual level. 💖💖

[@giveyouthesun5220]

i got into this show right before it blew up online and i’m really proud of how far it’s gotten over the years :^)

I'll miss the old voices, but at least the original recording is still on spotify so that's nice. I'm sure the new Jeremy and Squip will be great, it's just not the same.

Do you guys think BMC would be as popular without the bootlegs?

[@TheAgtwin]

Leaf I think it would, The bootlegs aren't what got me into BMC, it was the album bc it has a lot of original dialogue and fan covers, etc. but maybe i'm in the minority of fans

[@andrejh.6335]

There aren't actually that many bootlegs, compared to other musicals.

i honestly don’t like BMC the music isn’t memorable to me and i don’t really care about the characters, other than “michael in the bathroom” and “smartphone hour” are the only songs i like. there are so many other amazing musicals that are (in my opinion) better

[@lola-j7n8j]

*deeply inhales* BRUH. I’m gonna try not to go on a rant here on why it actually is a really good musical. But, then again, opinions 😐
