Grab a hall pass and hustle to homeroom: “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical” is bringing the glorious chaos of middle school to the stage in a fast, funny, and big-hearted new production. At Westmore Middle School where the hallways are wallpapered with sticky notes, whispers travel at light speed, and the rumor mill runs on cafeteria tater tots - one kid’s mission is clear: Greg Heffley will NOT be at the bottom of the popularity chart. Leave that to his oddball neighbor Fregley… or (gulp) his best friend, Rowley Jefferson. What could possibly go wrong?
When Greg’s master plans collide with real life, he’s faced with the toughest test of all: Is climbing the social ladder worth losing your one true friend? And can anyone outrun the dreaded Cheese Touch before the closing number? With larger-than-life characters, laugh-out-loud gags, and songs you’ll be humming long after the bell rings, this musical turns everyday middle-school mayhem into a feel-good adventure every former sixth-grader will recognize.
About the Show
Based on Jeff Kinney’s wildly popular series—published in 66 languages and winner of six Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards—“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical” captures that dizzying moment when everything’s changing at once and you feel (quite literally) stuck in the middle. It’s hilarious, it’s heartfelt, and it sneaks in a quietly radical idea: popularity fades, but belonging sticks.
