Be More Chill is a quirky, highly unusual musical with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz. The 2004 hit novel by Ned Vizzini provided the inspiration for the show, which first appeared in a small American regional theatre during 2015. It was so good that by 2018 it was playing Off-Broadway, before moving to Broadway itself in early 2019. Now, at last, it's due in London at the West End's magnificent Shaftesbury Theatre.

The clown Mauro has passed, but his spirit is still with us. Instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance. Rich, extravagant memories frolic with the senses. The sound of laughter peals around the stage, visions of joyous tumblers and players fascinate the eyes. Regret and melancholy retreat in the face of a cavalcade of lively recollections of a life gloriously lived. A festive parade that entertains; the perfect accolade for an artist whose life was dedicated to revelry and making merry.
