Diary of a Wimpy Kid
the Musical

Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor,
Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going
to be Greg…no way. Jeff Kinney’s popular character from the hit book
series 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.
