A new era of musical theatre is beginning in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the past eight years, Broadway Across Borders has been laying the groundwork by training artists, mentoring students, and proving that this art form can thrive locally. Be More Chill Sarajevo is the breakthrough: the first-ever Broadway musical with a global cult following translated, produced, and directed by Bosnian artists for Bosnian youth. Through an intensive mentorship program with U.S. professionals, local emerging artists are stepping into leadership roles and becoming the country’s first generation of musical theatre professionals. With its high-energy story about self-acceptance, self-expression, and navigating identity in a world shaped by AI and cybersecurity, the show gives teenagers a chance to see themselves on stage and discover that theatre can be a space of connection, creativity, and possibility.
