Netflix’s ’13: The Musical’ is the perfect family flick. The film is a coming-of-age journey about the ups and downs of preteen life. The movie is based on the popular musical ’13,’ which debuted on Broadway in 2008.
The film follows Evan Goldman, who moves from New York City to small-town Indiana after his parents’ divorce. With his bar mitzvah fast approaching, Evan is devastated that he must leave all his friends, his father, and his rabbi behind. But upon arriving at his grandmother’s house in small-town Walkerton, Indiana, he hatches a plan to win new friends by turning his bar mitzvah into the coolest party ever. As an outsider navigating the complicated social circles of his new school, Evan quickly finds out he’s not the only one grappling with the all too familiar anxieties of eighth grade.
The movie stars Eli Golden as Evan Goldman. Additional stars include Debra Messing, Peter Hermann, Josh Peck, Rhea Perlman, Gabriella Uhl, JD McCrary, Lindsey Blackwell, and more. ’13: The Musical’ debuted on August 12 on Netflix. See more photos of the film in our gallery now.
