‘Better Nate Than Ever’ Movie Adaptation Will Debut on Disney+
https://thedisinsider.com/2021/05/06/ex ... on-disney/
Synopsis wrote:13 year old Nate Foster is an unpopular Midwestern kid who entertains vivid fantasies of becoming a big Broadway musical star. In the meantime, however, Nate can't even get a decent role in his middle school's drama productions, getting cast as a tree in the chorus instead of the lead role he craves. However, when he and his best friend Libby mastermind a daring trip to New York City, without their parents' knowledge, to audition for "Lilo and Stitch: The Musical," Nate may be on the verge of fulfilling his lifelong dream. But first, he has to overcome a series of comical obstacles that threaten his Broadway adventure with disaster at every farcical turn....

I had to look it up: the novel has E.T.: The Musical, instead of Lilo & Stitch!

You just know that's going to circle around the Internet as if it's a real upcoming Broadway show, without context!!

I had to read this book for a class and it was nice to see some gay representation. I think there's a sequel too which I have not read yet. This might be the only Disney+ exclusive movie I'll ever watch.

I watched it a few weeks ago but just had to come here and tell anyone who thinks most Disney content these days looks like corporate mumbo jumbo to give this a watch, especially if you like musicals. This one has all the love for them and none of the cynicism

I saw a little of this the same day I watched the C&D movie. I got up to the point Lisa Kudrow enters, after she's called their mom (she thinks) and Nate steals the #13 sticker. I'll try to watch the rest next time I get a chance. I thought it was good, what I saw of it. The two friends are really fun, although the musical numbers are a bit of a letdown (he doesn't sing that good).

Listening to most often lately:
Ariana Grande ~ "we can't be friends (wait for your love)"
Ariana Grande ~ "imperfect for you"
Kacey Musgraves ~ "The Architect"
