40 free Be More Chill trivia questions with answers — music quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Be More Chill is the musical the internet refused to let go. Its first production closed quietly in 2015 with no future planned, then word spread among teenagers online and carried the show all the way to Broadway. At its heart is a simple, nervous question: what would you give up to stop feeling invisible at school? This quiz covers the whole story. There are plot questions about Jeremy, his best friend Michael and the pill-sized supercomputer that takes over his life, lyric questions drawn from the best-known songs, and questions about the actors, the creative team and the book the show is based on. It is written for fans who know every song by heart, and for anyone who wants to find out how well they really know the show. The early questions are friendly; the later ones are for people who can sing every harmony.
