The title character in Steven Levenson’s Tony-winning musical is a teenage boy with a broken arm and severe social anxiety who, after the death of a classmate, tells a lie that brings him unusually close to the victim’s family. Bring a handkerchief for this one; it’s a landmark musical, both for its exploration of such mature themes as mental illness and youth suicide and for its revolutionary design elements.
