Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. Jeff Kinney’s much loved character takes center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.

Listen to the studio cast recording of this new musical, featuring Jessie Mueller, Sutton Foster, Norbert Leo Butz, Kevin Del Aguila, and more, on Spotify.
