Be More Chill - The Genderbent Musical
Project Overview
What is this?
A Genderbend musical cast recording of the broadway musical Be More Chill! This particular project is going to be edited and arranged just for fun, and then uploaded to YouTube. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical: Be More Chill follows the life and experiences of Jeremy, an awkward high school kid who just wants to fit in, he has an equally awkward best friend Michael, and has a crush on theatre nerd Christine. Jeremy gets a tip from fellow classmate Rich about a super computer called a SQUIP, he takes it and it takes the form of Keanu Reeves and it directs him how to be 'cool' with no regard for his previous friendships and connections. Be More Chill's story line focuses on self growth, acceptance and friendship.
Requirements:I would like to have the audio be clear while a microphone is preferable, I will be taking the audio clarity fo your audition into account. If you are using a mic, please ensure that your microphone is capable of recording your performance without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping. If you cannot commit to the needs of a given role as musical theatre is a quite emotive and theatrical style, please only audition if you can give the performance the role requires.
A few final notes:1.) As I love this musical, I will be choosing cast members based on vocal quality, how your voice suits the role and vocal range.
2.) I will be playing Michael Mell, but all other roles are open to audition for
3.) Discord is required, please leave your discord tag with your audition
And that's it- if you have any questions please contact me via discord, Delilah#3764
Have fun and good luck!

Jeremy is sweet, introspective, awkward, and very much uncool, and he just hopes to keep his head down enough to survive high school and maybe get the girl of his dreams, Christine Canigula, to notice him.
don't wanna be a hero
Just wanna stay in the line
I'll never be your Rob DeNiro
For me Joe Pesci is fine
So I follow my own rules
And I use them as my tools
To stay alive
I don't wanna be special, no, no
I just wanna survive(More than Survive)
You know that you are my favourite person, that doesn't mean that I can't still dream
yeah we're never not gonna be a team, high school is shit, and you gotta help me conquer it
(Two Player Game)
And there are voices in my ear
I guess these never disappear
I'll let 'em squeal, and I won't deal
And make up my own mind
Might still have voices in my head
But now, they're just the normal kind
Voices in my head, but now, they're the normal kind(Voices in my Head)
The "SQUIP" (Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor) is a super-computer inside Jeremy Heere's head that's purpose is to help him become popular and win the love of his crush, Christine Canigula
But, Jeremy, soon you'll see that if you listen to me, listen to me
Everything about you is going to be wonderfulEverything about you is going to be so aliveYou won't feel left out or unsure
You won't be ugly anymoreBecause everything about you is going to be cool
And powerful, popular, incredible
You will...(Be More Chill Part 1)
All your peers are just so incomple-e-ete
You can't see it, but they're all in pa-a-ain
They're operating system's obsole-e-ete
So let's complete the chains
And get inside those brainsLet's save the pitiful children, woah
Let's save the pitiful children, woah
Let's teach the pitiful children, who just haven't a clue
Just what to do(The Pitiful Children)
She's sweet, sensitive, smart, a little nerdy, and canonically has Attention Deficit Disorder. (ADD) She's a theatre kid and cares deeply about it; the kind of girl who knows she'll thrive in college.
I have mad, gigantic feelings
Red and frantic feelings
About most everything
Like gun control, like spring
Like if I'm living up to all I'm meant to beI also have a touch of ADD
Where was I?
Oh, right(I love play rehearsal)
Say there's this person you pass in the hall everyday
You've known him since 7th grade
You're used to thinking about him in a certain way
From the persona that he displaysAnd then something changes
And he changes(A guy that I'd kinda be into)
You are the person I want to be with every day.
And this is something that I've been afraid to say.You're the guy I am so kinda into
The guy I am totally into.
This feeling is new.
Jeremy
I love you(The Play)

Do you wanna hang?
Do you wanna hang?
Do you wanna hang for a bit?
Just you and me, intermittently
Talking about our love, our feelings and shit(Do you wanna hang?)
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Woah
I thought I was dreaming everybody was screaming
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house(The Smartphone Hour)
Sweet and a little insecure, she's Chloe's sidekick and always happy to defer to her, although she isn't nearly as driven or dominating. She's small but sassy, and also developed a small crush on Jeremy after meeting him at the mall but this is short-lived after reconnecting with Chloe.
Picked out a costume for tonight
Made sure to get a size that was a lot too tight
You can kinda see my business
But I’ll act like I don’t know
Whoa(Halloween)
This is my favorite place behind the school
Being here
With you right now
Our future is so clear
Our union is so near(Upgrade)
Jenna Rolan is the local gossip at Middleborough High School. She knows everyone's business but feels like no one wants to get to know her. Though not one of the cool kids, she is often seen hanging out with her friends, Chloe Valentine and Brooke Lohst, at play rehearsal.
But here's what happened at the party's end
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Yeah
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
WoahI thought I was dreaming, everybody was screaming
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house(The Smartphone Hour)

Who's ready for my halloween party?
Everybody's got a red solo cup, fill it up, fill it up, hear the beer spill on the ground
Cause a halloween party's a rad excuse to put your body through mad abuse, and I might pass out but it's alright cause I'm halloween partyin' hard tonight
Do you wanna come over
To my place tonight?
We'll get all sporty
And play cricket Or get a forty
And just kick it
My parents won't be home
So its alright
They laundered money
Now they're on the runWhich means the house is empty So, that's fun
Oh yeah, yeah
Never hung with a girl like you before I don't know if you know it
But I am sure That, for me, you are an upgrade (Upgrade)
Upgrade Let's be each other's Upgrade
Although there are few scenes that show Rich actually speaking and interacting with others while un-Squipped, it is obvious that his true personality is much different than his Squipped self; he is excitable, bubbly, and overall much nicer.
Freshman year
Didn't have a girlfriend or a clue
I was a loser just like you
Good times would only
Soar by(the Squip Song)
It's better than drugs, Jeremy.
It's from Japan
It's a grey, oblong pill
Quantum nanotechnology CPU
The quantum computer in the pill
Will travel through your blood until
It implants in your brain and tells you what to do
It tells you what to do(the Squip Song)
Nah, man, you tell her that she excites you sexually
And that's the way you get to her heart
Trust me, I know
How it's gonna go
Listen at all(Voices in my head)
Sweet, cheerful, and a little pathetic, his wife's departure the year before has left him in denial and struggling to cope. Terrified of everything, including stepping up as a father and wearing pants, he pretends everything is just fine.
Hello?
Son?
Jeremy!!!
When you love somebody
You put your pants on for them
When you love somebody
You take a chance just for them
Chance just for them
If the road gets muddy
Focus on the goal 'till the rough stuff's gone
When you love somebody you put your pants on(The Pants Song)
