Background

In celebration of Pride Month, Disney+ has revealed the trailer for the upcoming film Trevor: The Musical. Produced by RadicalMedia, Trevor: The Musical is a filmed version of the Off-Broadway stage production, which follows a charming 13-year-old force of nature with a vivid imagination. As he deals with becoming a teenager in 1981, Trevor struggles to navigate his own identity and determine how he fits in a challenging world. When an embarrassing incident at school suddenly puts him under the wrong spotlight, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path. A deeply moving and funny story of self-discovery and the power of acceptance, Trevor: The Musical is about living your best life with lots of passion and a touch of pizzazz. The musical is based on the 1995 Academy Award-winning short film Trevor which ultimately inspired the founding of LGBTQ youth suicide prevention nonprofit The Trevor Project.
