STORY/SONG LIST
12-year old New Yorker Evan Goldman is surrounded by rabbis.  After chanting to him, one of them explains that when a boy has his Bar Mitzvah, he becomes an adult.  As the rabbis reveal that they're actually other New York kids, Evan tells the audience about how stressful turning 13 is - especially since his parents are getting divorced and he's under pressure to have the Bar Mitzvah imaginable ("Thirteen/Becoming A Man").  Just as Evan thinks maybe things will be fine, his mother calls to tell him they're moving to Indiana.  Once there, however, Evan finds a friend in his neighbor, Patrice.  Evan is disappointed that there aren't any cool places to have his Bar Mitzvah; Patrice agrees that their town is lame, but things have gotten better since Evan moved there ("The Lamest Place In The World"). 

When school starts, Brett, the most popular kid in school, summons up the courage to ask Kendra, the prettiest girl in school, to a scary movie Friday night so he can kiss her with tongue ("Hey Kendra").  Despite her best friend Lucy's attempts to dissuade her, Kendra consents.  Inviting Kendra to a scary movie was Evan's idea, so Brett decides that Evan is cool and refers to him as "Brain."  Evan is thrilled; this means Brett will come to his Bar Mitzvah, and if Brett comes, everyone else will come.  Patrice, however, is not pleased.  If she goes to the Bar Mitzvah, nobody else will go because they hate her.  Evan doesn't think it'll be that bad, but when he hands out invitations, he sees Patrice is right, so he rips up her invitation.  As the other kids express their excitement over Evan's party, Archie enters and introduces himself.  He's upset at Evan for humiliating Patrice-who's his best and only friend-but promises to help make it up to her if Evan gets him a date with Kendra.  When using his degenerative illness to guilt Evan into getting him the date doesn't work, Archie tries to convince him that he can't turn to anyone else ("Get Me What I Need").  Evan finally relents.  Later, at cheerleader practice, Kendra teaches a new cheer while Lucy resolves to make Brett her boyfriend ("Opportunity").  Archie tries to talk Patrice into giving Evan a second chance, especially since she has a crush on him, but she's lost faith in him ("What It Means To Be A Friend"). 

In class, Brett tells Evan to get his mom to buy them all tickets to "The Bloodmaster."  Evan protests that his mother won't buy them tickets to an R-rated movie, but Brett points out that if she doesn't, nobody will go to his Bar Mitzvah. Evan cycles through possible plans, eventually settling on having Archie use his illness to guilt his mother ("All Hail The Brain/Terminal Illness").  To make things better with Patrice, Evan asks her to go to the movie with him, as a date.  He then realizes that he set up Archie's date with Kendra when everyone is seeing "The Bloodmaster"...which is Kendra's date with Brett.  Evan makes Archie promise to do nothing more than sit next to Kendra to not screw up Brett's date.  Archie agrees, and everyone prepares for Friday night ("Getting Ready"). 

At the movie, Patrice is upset that Evan isn't even sitting next to her.  Brett and Kendra overthink their impeding kiss, and just as they're about to actually do so, Archie ruins it ("Any Minute").  Brett swears revenge on Evan and Archie, and Lucy, seeing her chance, kisses Brett.  Patrice tells off Evan when she sees all he cares about is Brett being angry at him ("Good Enough").  Even Archie is upset with Evan, who then realizes he's in danger of being a lonely geek ("Being A Geek"). 

As Lucy and Brett begin dating, she forces him to spend more and more time with her.  Brett's friends recognize that Lucy isn't good for Brett or for them at all ("Bad Bad News").  Evan promises to help get Brett and Kendra back together so he can get back on everyone's good side.  Archie, fearing that this is a suicide mission, begs Patrice to help Evan.  She shows up just in time to tell Brett to talk to Kendra, and she and Evan suggest things to say - while resolving their own issues ("Tell Her").  Brett takes their advice, and he and Kendra are a couple again.  Lucy, however, won't stand for this.  She spreads a rumor that Kendra is cheating on Brett with Evan, and then gets Evan and Kendra in the same place so Brett can catch them ("It Can't Be True").  Her plan works.  As Kendra runs after Brett, Evan realizes that he didn't really want to be friends with Brett, anyway, and that Archie and Patrice are his real friends.  He wants to call off the Bar Mitzvah because it'd only be the three of them, but Archie and Patrice point out it won't be that bad ("If That's What It Is").  Evan has his Bar Mitzvah after all; he's starting to understand what growing up means ("A Little More Homework").  The show ends with the cast singing "Brand New You."
