What happens

13: The Musical is a 2022 American musical coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Tamra Davis and written by Robert Horn. It is based on the 2007 stage musical 13 by Horn, Jason Robert Brown, and Dan Elish. The ensemble cast includes Eli Golden, Gabriella Uhl, JD McCrary, Lindsey Blackwell, Frankie McNellis, Jonathan Lengel, Ramon Reed, Nolen Dubuc, Luke Islam, Liam Wignall, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Khiyla Aynne, Kayleigh Cerezo, and Willow Moss, with Debra Messing, Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck, and Peter Hermann. After an earlier film adaptation was developed by CBS Films in 2014, Netflix announced its version in 2019, with Davis directing and Horn adapting the musical for the screen. The young ensemble was announced in April 2021, followed by the adult cast in May and June. Filming took place in Ontario, including Beeton and Oakville. The film premiered at the Paris Theater in New York City on August 8, 2022, and was released by Netflix on August 12. It received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
