... maybe there are others.

From a press release:

For their 12th annual collaboration, Playhouse Square and Baldwin Wallace University come together to present the regional premiere of a show currently wowing audiences on Broadway, Be More Chill, in Playhouse Square's Allen Theatre. Performances will be held Friday, April 5, through Sunday, April 7. All tickets are $25 and are available by calling 216-241-6000 or by visiting playhousesquare.org.

This is in Cleveland and I don't think it should be considered "the regional premiere," maybe "the post-Broadway opening regional premiere." I know it's been selling well so far, but is the Broadway production there to spur future productions (which I think would happen anyway, after the previous success)?

There was a production in August of last year in Chicago at Stage 773 -- a limited run for about 1-1/2 weeks. My partner and I saw it on a Sunday evening and the place was packed. We had to wait over an hour in line to get a good seat. Lots of teens and tweens but also a lot of parents with teens. Johnny Rabe (who has quite a following in the Chicago area) played Jeremy. Another talented teen actor Declan Desmond played Michael.

Enjoyable show but kind of silly, which I didn't mind for a show that had a ticket price of $22.50

There was an article about licensing the show recently.
