Opening Night Party at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

The Opening Night Party was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and true to the spirit of “13” was a kids night out. Pizza and hamburgers to eat, and a DJ for dancing.

World Premiere of Jason Robert Brown and Dan Elish's "13" at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles with Caitlin Baunoch -

I wanna fly, wanna drive, wanna get rich, wanna get out, wanna get my braces off, wanna get my nose pierced, wanna grow my hair long.

In a middle school in Appleton, Indiana thirteen 13 year olds leap from childhood into a whole new fantastic and frightening era: their teens. Like kids everywhere, they suddenly are trying to survive classes, navigate cliques and be in with the right crowd and "cool". In 100 song-filled minutes 13 is their provoking, engaging story, told with contagious energy and humor with all-teen performers and a teen band.

"The best and the worst and the most and the least
And the crazy and the scary
And I'm standing on the edge!"

Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown has composed the songs for this new musical comedy - smart, magnetic, and upbeat -- sure to speak to and captivate current, former, and soon to be teens.
