Turning 13 never felt so dramatic.
Thirteen is hard. Your parents are splitting, your crush doesn’t know you exist, and your Bar Mitzvah is a social minefield. In this hilarious and heart-thumping pop-rock musical, Evan Goldman is the new kid in a new town, just trying to survive middle school. 13: THE MUSICAL is bursting with awkward moments, epic belting, best-friend drama, and that “OMG I’m dying inside” kind of fun only teens understand. Bonus: every actor on stage is a teen too—no fake beards, no 30-year-olds pretending to be 12. It’s real, it’s raw, it rocks.
“A smart, fun look at the joys and agonies of growing up.” — New York Post
“I’ve been waiting for one of those near‑religious theatrical experiences … pushing you towards a breaking point where you want to stand up and shout ‘THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!!!’ 13 is that show.” — DidTheyLikeIt
