Caleb Roberts as Richard
Andrew Berlin as Kyle Grandy

From Big Screen Favourite to Stage Sensation
Based on the 2004 romantic comedy starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo, 13 Going on 30 – The Musical tells the story of Jenna Rink, a 13-year-old girl who wishes to fast-forward through adolescence. When her birthday wish is granted, she finds herself suddenly “thirty, flirty, and thriving” in Manhattan—but realises her seemingly perfect life may not be what she hoped for.
The musical features original songs by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (First Date, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and a book by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, the film’s original screenwriters.
