Elysium Furnace Works (EFW) closes out its 2025 season with this explosive project featuring two legendary DJs, Rob Swift and Mista Sinista, renowned turntablists and founding members of the celebrated X-Ecutioners crew, who have worked with everyone from Kool G Rap and Cypress Hill to Mike Patton and Mike Shinoda. They have even made a famous (“some say infamous”) appearance at NYC’s Vision Festival many years back.

Jeremy Heere is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about “The Squip,” a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine, 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? A hit on Broadway and in the West End, Be More Chill is a musical based on the novel by Ned Vizzini.
