Miami, FL, For Immediate Release - Area Stage Company (ASC) is excited to announce the presentation of its 21-22 Mainstage Season at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. This partnership is a major milestone in the progress of the company, marking the first time ASC will present its full Mainstage Season at an outside venue.
The Mainstage season will include the cult Broadway hit, Be More Chill the musical, running Feb. 4th - 20th, 2022 and directed by ASC Associate Artistic Director Giancarlo Rodaz, as well as an additional title, currently TBA, which will run April 15th - May 1st, 2022. ASC is busy building an all-star NYC design team for, which will include ASC alumni and Broadway set designer, Frank Oliva.
Be More Chill opened regionally in 2015 and quickly shot to internet stardom. The off-Broadway production opened in 2018 and quickly transferred to Broadway in 2019 to widespread commercial success. The high-energy show poses the question: What if popularity came in a pill? Would you take it, no questions asked? In Be More Chill, achieving that elusive "perfect life" is now possible thanks to some mysterious new technology-but it comes at a cost that's not as easy to swallow. The musical features music and lyrics by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz.
Tickets for this upcoming season are not yet on sale, but are expected to be available through the Arsht Center box office in late September.
