About the Play

Producers Roy Furman and A.B. &W. Productions have announced the New York debut of TREVOR the musical to open in April 2020 at Stage 42! Learn More >

Based on the story that inspired the Academy Award-winning film, the charity and the national movement, TREVOR the musical is a coming-of-age story about identity, emerging sexuality and the struggles of growing up in a world that may not be ready for you. This world premiere musical is directed by Marc Bruni, who helmed the Tony Award-winning production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical on Broadway.

The Trevor Project was created as a result of the Academy Award-winning film that also inspired TREVOR the musical. The Trevor Project is the nation’s only accredited crisis intervention and suicide prevention organization focused on saving young LGBTQ lives. www.TheTrevorProject.org

Advisory: This production is intended for audiences aged 13 and up, and contains themes of sexuality and self-harm.

TREVOR the musical is presented by special arrangement with U Rock Theatricals.
