Girlfriend
by Todd Almond, Matthew Sweet
Synopsis
In Nebraska in the ’90s, Will, a bit of a social outcast, and Mike, the popular football player, figure out that there is more to life than what high school has taught them.
Days after graduation, they explore their relationship and begin to ask themselves where their lives begin.
Based on the album by Matthew Sweet, Girlfriend is a pop/rock musical for everyone who’s lived in a small town and feels for their first love.
Press Reviews
"All you need to know about the intensity of teenage crushes is captured... in Girlfriend, the tenderly truehearted rock musical that seems primed for cult-hit status."
— The Washington Post
"Girlfriend allows us to richly inhabit the perilous journey Mike and Will are undertaking... those who can enter the rhythm of the musical may find themselves returning to some epic emotions from their youth."
— Los Angeles Times
