13 The musical: Where are they now?

In the 17 years since Jason Robert Brown‘ 13 The musical Much has been changed on Broadway. The musical, with a book of And elish and Tony winner Robert Hornthe first – and so far, only – Musical marked to contain a cast and band consisting entirely of teenagers.

For just over 100 performances on Broadway from 2008 to 2009, the show became a hit on the educational circle and talked to young teens everywhere as they struggled with what it meant to become your own person. With a 2022 Netflix filma adjustment and interest in Jason Robert Brown’s work that is higher than ever (his The last five years Shall we play Broadway this spring), we couldn’t help but wonder: What’s going on with the closest 30-year cast in their adult lives?
