I & You: The Musical

Sunday, October 05, 2025 @ 2:00pm



McCarter Theatre Center (Berlind Theatre)
91 University Place, Princeton, NJ 08540

A McCarter World Premiere, thrillingly adapted from Lauren Gunderson’s acclaimed and award-winning worldwide hit, with an electrifying new score by Ari Afsar. See it here first.  

17-year-olds Caroline—stuck at home with an illness—and Anthony—an earnest overachiever toting Walt Whitman and waffle fries—are classmates pulling an unexpected all-nighter. What starts as a reluctant assignment soon sets both their worlds spinning into a soul-searching exploration of fate, friendship, and the fragile wonder of being alive.

Featuring a soaring musical score, I And You is a funny, uplifting, feel-all-the-things story that reminds us we all contain multitudes. 

Commissioned by McCarter Theatre Center with support from the BOLD Foundation
