Be More Chill — Fan Recording
Project Overview
Hello and welcome! This will be a big commitment and I can’t be paying people, so if you can’t work a lot for free, I’m sorry but this is not for you. Now that that’s out of the way, it would make me happy to no end if I were able to record a full audio of the Two River Theater’s musical, Be More Chill. It’s a fascinating musical that follows socially awkward, anxious Jeremy Heere. A classic high school story, a loser who craves attention and popularity. Meet Jeremy’s best friend, Michael. Michael isn’t cool either, popularity and much more about friendships and video games. Michael is warm hearted and kind, and more confident than Jeremy for the most part. So, when Jeremy is offered a “squip” or; Super Quantem Unit Intell Processor from his long-time bully, Rich Goranski, he debates what to do. Eventually, after discussing with Michael, Jeremy accepts and pays for one. A squip is a supercomputer in a pill that implants in your brain and helps you be cool, or memorize test answers, or get the girl. Jeremy desperately seeks the attention of Christine Canigula, who is barely aware of his existence. As the plot progresses, Jeremy finally comes to terms the dangers of the squip after messing with girls’ emotions, ditching his best friend, and nearly letting squips have access to everyone in the school. I would be thrilled if anyone would like to audition to be in this audio recording, feel free to ask questions! Discord is where we will plan everything, so you must have access to that. I will be playing Chloe.

Jeremy Heere is an awkward high school junior who is desperate for popularity.
What if he’s not? This could be huge! All I need to do is give the guy who torments me six... hundred... he’s totally scamming me. I’m doomed to be a loser ‘til the end of the world. No, probably then too
Sing ‘more than survive’ from 0:00 to 0:40.
Jeremy’s best friend. Warm and kind, cares less about his reputation and more about happiness.
Think, man! We’re talking an insanely powerful super-computer. You really think its primary function is to get you laid? Who made them? How did they end up in a high school? In New Jersey? Of all possible applications for such a mind- blowingly advanced technology, you ever wonder what it’s doing inside YOU?
Sing ‘Michael In the Bathroom’ from 2:03 to end.
Welcome, everybody. Thank you so much for coming to our production of “A Midsummer Nightmare About Zombies”. It’s been a rough week for all of us at Middleborough. That’s why this play is so important – to bring this school together! To show you something special! I know that if Rich were here, instead of the intensive care unit at Beth Israel, he’d say: “Go out and show everyone the relevant power of live theatre!”
Sing “I Love Play Rehearsal” from 0:00 to 0:52 or “A Guy That I’d Kinda Be Into” from 0:00 to 0:51.
The most popular guy in school; high school awesomeness personified.
Cool... Can I say something stupid? When I saw you die in the play last year... That was like the saddest I’d felt in a long time. It was like everything in my life, all the pressure I feel to be the best, at everything, all the time... Suddenly felt so small. And then, when you got up at the end for your victory dance...
Sing “Upgrade” from 1:02 to 1:37.
Five foot five of teenage bully. Popular, but short tempered.
Sorry, old habits. Look, I apologize for treating you like human garbage all the time. I only did it ‘cause my squip said I had to. But now it’s saying you’re not a bad guy. That you might want a squip of your own. ‘Course, if you’re not interested...
Sing ‘The Squip Song’ from 1:12 to 2:33.
The hottest girl in school. Confident and unkind.
He’s not gross, Brooke! (beat) Friends. I’m so glad. Because, real talk, I would hate for you to think that the reason Jake’s not here... is he’s already bored of you. (beat) bye!
Sing ‘Do You Wanna Hang?’
The second hottest girl in school. Insecure.
Jeremy! I was afraid you weren’t coming, did you get my messages? (pause) What do you think of my costume? I figured, you always see sexy cats, but no one ever goes as a sexy dog. (pause) Chloe said it was dumb. You need a drink!
Sing ‘Do You Wanna Ride’ from 0:20 to 0:55 and then sing Brooke’s riff on “Pinkberry” from the same song.
Knows everyone’s business. Not the most popular, but not the least.
I make it my business to know everyone’s business. But does anyone ever want to know mine? (pause) Is this, like, drugs? (pause) Whatever. (pause) I don’t feel anything. (pause). Okay. (pause) Ow! (pause) Sing Jenna’s riff from ‘The Pitiful Children’
Sing ‘The Smartphone Hour’ from 0:00 to 1:50.
Jeremy’s Dad — never wears pants.
Hello? (pause) Son? (pause) Jeremy? (pause) Is that a girl? Are you in here with a girl? Oh. Hi Michael. — Sing ‘The Pants Song’ from 0:00 to 1:05.
Oh thank God, the popular students have arrived. Hellooooo, everyone! My name is Mr. You may recognize me from Drama Class, or my full-time job, at the Hobby Lobby. (off their reaction, genuinely moved) Thank you. I’ve been dreaming of the day I get to stage William Shakespeare’s classic “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”—
Just so we’re clear, this is untested technology. And it’s not exactly legal. Which is why you're paying for it with cash in the back of a shoe store.for what you might do with it. Or what it might do with you.
The supercomputer in Jeremy’s head. Cool and intelligent.
You can’t lie to me, Jeremy. I’m inside your brain. We’re going to devise a system. I tally every time you think about sex, and that’s how many push-ups you do. If this morning is an indicative sample, you’ll have pecs in no time.
Sing ‘Be More Chill (Part 1)’ from 0:00 to 1:15.
