Synopsis

The musical follows the tale of three high school friends who want to escape their small New England town and drive to California. However, none of them own a car, so they invite the unpopular valedictorian girl who has a crush on one of the guys to use her for her car, and drama and romance ensue. Once they reach the West Coast, however, things don't turn out exactly as any of them had planned.
