"Tiny Cooper stole our hearts." "Entertainment Weekly

"Especially for those of us who ordinarily feel ignored, a spotlight is a circle of magic, with the strength to draw us from the darkness of our everyday lives. "
Watch out, ex-boyfriends, and get out of the way, homophobic coaches. Tiny Cooper has something to say and he s going to say it in song.
Filled with honesty, humor, and big, lively, belty musical numbers, "Hold Me Closer "is the no-holds-barred (and many-bars-held) entirety of the beloved musical first introduced in "Will Grayson, Will Grayson," the award-winning bestseller by John Green and David Levithan.
Tiny Cooper is finally taking center stage . . . and the world will never be the same again.
Tinywill have readers falling out of their chairs laughing. . . . It's big. It's gay. It's outrageous and hilarious. "Kirkus Reviews"
