'Michael in the Bathroom' featuring George Salazar - Be More Chill (Original Cast Recording)

Get the Be More Chill Cast Recording:

Be More Chill – which had its world premiere in an extended run at Two River Theater, Red Bank, NJ – has music and lyrics by Joe Iconis, book by Joe Tracz, and is based on the novel by Ned Vizzini. The show was directed by Stephen Brackett with Chase Brock serving as choreographer. The orchestrator and musical supervisor was Charlie Rosen and the musical director and copyist was Nathan Dame. The Be More Chill cast album was produced by Kurt Deutsch, Joe Iconis and Charlie Rosen.

Praised as “a high-energy, imaginative, well-crafted world premiere musical” in The Star-Ledger, Be More Chill was lauded as “a vibrant, inventive musical that makes the most of every moment and features an abundantly talented cast” by BroadwayWorld.

Jeremy Heere (played by Will Connolly) is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about “The Squip” (Eric William Morris) – a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine (Stephanie Hsu), an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk?

The recording of Be More Chill also features original cast members Jake Boyd (Jake), Gerard Canonico (Rich), Katlyn Carlson (Chloe), Katie Ladner (Jenna Rolan), Lauren Marcus (Brooke), George Salazar (Michael), and Paul Whitty (Jeremy’s Dad/Mr. Reyes/Scary Stockboy). The six-piece orchestra includes Nathan Dame (Conductor and Keyboard), Danny Jonokuchi (Theremin/Trumpet), Dan McMillan (Drums/Percussion), Josh Plotner (Vocoder/Reeds), Mike Rosengarten (Guitar) and Amanda Ruzza (Bass).

every time a new version of michael in the bathroom is released, my lifespan increases by six years

[hallo]

CAN GEORGE SALAZAR PLEASE DO A FULL VERSION OF I WANT TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY? PLEASE?

[rosemarey]

I love how he's so composed in the beginning but as time goes on through the song he just gets lost in his character and it's honestly the purest thing I've seen

[inky_colors]

The best part about the actor for Michael was he started genuinely crying because it broke his heart so much. He felt so passionate for the character and his role as playing the character. I hope to hear him get more roles in the future cause he’s really good.

[shadysadie]

I love that he sang he so passionately even in the studio

[ashley-fhtg]

those facial expressions broke my tiny little musical heart

[marciie]

[friakula]

I'm obsessed with his 'I wanna dance with somebody!'

[emotionlessmarcher]

[exaltiorasx]

closest we'll ever be to seeing it live

[ahsokatano]

This is the only song that feels like a panic attack. The actor is amazing. Even when he isn't acting he still looks like he's having a full blown panic attack.

[marshmellobunny]

Therapist: "Describe your anxiety."
Me: *Sings this song at the top of my lungs, crying*

[evelynfaber]

Theatre kids when they're left alone for a few minutes at a party be like:

[arona]

Jeremy's song : him unable to live properly because he cared about jerks. Michael's song : him badly suffering because he cares about his only friendship.

[scarredstars]

Michael: "My buddy kinda left me alone..."
Veronica: "Well, my date kinda blew... me off..."
