The paperback edition of the novel based on the groundbreaking
musical by Jason Robert Brown and Dan Elish, 13, a story about
friendship, fitting in, and what it means to turn thirteen. Soon to
be a movie-musical streaming on Netflix! "No one said becoming a
man was easy." Evan didn't expect relevant life advice from Rabbi
Weiner, who looks so old that he must have gone to yeshiva with
Moses. But wondering what it means to become a man is the least of
Evan's problems. After being uprooted right before his thirteen
birthday from New York City to Appleton, Indiana, he's more focused
on using this fresh start to find the right friends to invite to
his bar mitzvah. Because this is his chance to get in with the
popular kids-the cool football players and pretty cheerleaders. But
it's the weird kids who welcome him, like his nerdy neighbor
Patrice and Archie, whose crutches and muscular dystrophy make him
an easy target for bullying. Evan doesn't want to be laughed at for
being different. He can pretend to be like the cool kids; he's sure
he can. But if you spend all your time pretending to be someone
else, who do you become? In this story of acceptance and
friendship, Evan prepares for his bar mitzvah, grapples with his
father's affair, and learns from his rabbi, all the while presented
with various images of what it means to be a man. While he
struggles to fit in with the popular boys at school, he eventually
learns that being cool is not as important as being a good
friend-and a good person. With relatable humor and accessible
language, and at a consumable length, this book is perfect for all
tweens and especially boys looking for a relatable read. Netflix
has announced an adaptation of the Broadway musical that inspired
13: A Novel. Jason Robert Brown will be returning to compose new
music for the show, and the cast includes Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck,
Debra Messing, and Peter Hermann.
(Applause Libretto Library). An emotionally powerful and intimate
musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out
of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional
structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards
while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two
characters meet only once, at their wedding in the middle of the
show. Jason Robert Brown won Drama Desk Awards for the music and
the lyrics after the Off-Broadway premiere in 2002 starring Norbert
Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. The show has since been produced at
almost every major regional theater in the U.S., and has been seen
in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain,
and the UK.
Jason Robert Brown, the creator of Parade and Songs for a New World, has written a distinctive new Off-Broadway musical. The Last Five Years tells the story of a failed marriage of 20-somethings: he a successful novelist, she a struggling actress. Her story is told in reverse, his conventionally moving forward. They meet in the middle at the point of their wedding. Brown's strong writing has found a solid following among musical theatre fans. Our songbook features piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You * I Can Do Better Than That * If I Didn't Believe in You * Moving Too Fast * The Next Ten Minutes * Nobody Needs to Know * A Part of That * The Schmuel Song * Shiksa Goddess * Still Hurting * A Summer in Ohio * When You Come Home to Me. "Short, bittersweet and nearly perfect, Brown has come up with a winning combination of music and book." - Variety
