Join us as Jeff Kinney's popular character takes center stage as Greg's cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical in DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, THE MUSICAL. Middle school is the worst, but Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He'll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe Greg's best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it's not going to be Greg... no way. Will Greg's plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don't be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived or is currently surviving middle school!
