How do you get a role on Broadway if you’re only in middle school?
Practice might be good. But determination is key for Nate Foster , a theater-obsessed 13-year-old who’s determined to land a spot in the big new musical based on “Lilo and Stitch.”
Nate shares his love with Libby , another obsessive who helps indulge his dream. How do they do it? First by getting the parents out of town, then by duping his older brother, Anthony . With them out of the way, he’s able to take a bus to New York, get in a cattle call and perform his heart out. Based loosely on Federle’s own life, “Better Nate” doesn’t gloss over the hardships or suggest it’s possible to take shortcuts. But it does capture the tension, the excitement and the fear of standing in front of someone and hoping to get picked.
For theater lovers, there are extra treats and the quirkiness of a “Lilo and Stitch” musical that’s just dumb enough to work. In the books , “E.T.” is the show of choice. But “Lilo and Stitch” works even better. When Nate gets his chance on stage, “Lilo and Stitch – The Musical” becomes the great idea Disney never considered.
