Be More Chill: Tiny Desk Concert
On Broadway, Be More Chill is a playful burst of frenetic energy and silly, stealthy sweetness. At the Tiny Desk, it holds onto that rowdy, generous spirit while stripping down the arrangements.
From the moment they arrived for their Tiny Desk debut, the cast and crew of the Broadway musical Be More Chill radiated kind exuberance. They posed for selfies behind the desk, shared stories from the previous night's Tony Awards and clowned around with cast member Jason SweetTooth Williams, who'd torn a muscle in his leg 48 hours earlier and used a wheelchair to get from the charter bus to the desk and back.
The night before, had gone 0-for-1 at the Tonys, winding down a disappointing in which host James Corden parodied the musical's breakout song, "Michael in the Bathroom" — passed by without anyone bothering to name the source material.
