Meet the characters of "Be More Chill": The awkward high schooler just trying to fit in. His sad dad. The theatre kid. The cool guy. The uncool guy. The popular girl. The slightly less popular girl. The bully. The gossip. And the manipulative, dangerous, all-knowing supercomputer pill from Japan that implants in your brain, helps you become cool, and tries to take over the world.
