Bubble Boy (musical)
''Bubble Boy'' is a musical with music and lyrics by Cinco Paul and book by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, based on the 2001 Touchstone Pictures' film ''Bubble Boy''. Like the movie, it tells the story of Jimmy Livingston, a boy born without immunities who is forced to live in a plastic bubble room. When he grows older he meets Chloe Molinski, the girl next door, and falls in love with her. When she tells him she's getting married to her boyfriend Mark at Niagara Falls, Jimmy builds a bubble suit and heads on a cross-country journey to stop the wedding and tell her how he feels. Along the way he is pursued by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Livingston, and he meets a cult, a biker gang, and Indian ice cream salesman. Thematically, the musical explores the idea that we all have our "bubbles" which prevent us from being all we can be, and that we need to break out of them.
The musical's first professional production opened November 6, 2013 at Hamilton Stage in Rahway, New Jersey.〔()〕 It was subsequently published by Dramatists Play Service and became available for professional and nonprofessional licensed productions.〔()〕
==Background==
The original movie ''Bubble Boy'' was a commercial and critical failure that didn't turn out the way that Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio wanted it to. They saw turning it into a musical as a way to redeem the story and tell it as they originally intended.〔NJTV News, (For New Musical, End of Run is Just the Beginning )〕 The first production was in February 2008 at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza's Scherr Forum and featured a cast of high school students. The musical was subsequently chosen by the Disney ASCAP Musical Theatre Workshop, headed by Stephen Schwartz, who became a champion of the show.〔(BWW Interviews: Cinco Paul on 'BUBBLE BOY' American Theater Group's World Premiere Musical at UC PAC )〕 He has said, "Bubble Boy is one of the cleverest, funniest, and most endearing musicals I've seen in a long time." This led to workshops at Carnegie Mellon University,〔(Oct. 6: New Musical "Bubble Boy" Selected for Workshop Featuring Academy Award-Winning Composer/Lyricist Stephen Schwartz )〕 Penn State University, and several readings in New York City.
During the development of the show, Jimmy, the bubble boy, was played by Shaun Fleming, Hunter Herdlicka, and Jeremy Jordan, among others. Mrs. Livingston was played by Emily Skinner, Ryah Nixon, and Victoria Clark, among others. The role of Chloe was played by Caissie Levy, among others.
