Evan Goldman is the main Protagonist of 13 the Musical. Smart and Jewish. As a 12 1/2-going-on-13-year-old, his life as he knew it has been turned upside down, and he has decided to take control. He has that unique blend of optimism and angst. His fortitude and determination are admirable. He's funny, ironic, confident, sensitive, and almost ready to become the man he will soon be. He's bright, charismatic and a bit nerdy. He's in search of a place to truly fit in. He thinks that "place" is with the popular kids. In New York, he lived in 224 West 92nd St., the heart of Manhattan. When his parents are divorced, he moves with his mom to Appleton Indiana. The first person he meets is Patrice=====

When he meets Brett and the popular kids, he realizes he needs them to go to his Bar Mitzvah. If he wants that, he'll need to find a way in: even if that means ignoring Patrice, just because she isn't "cool". Brett asks Evan to get his mom to buy the tickets for everyone to go to the R-rated movie, The Bloodmaster. Brett needs the tickets so that he can take Kendra, head cheerleader, on a date and administer "the tongue." Evan's idea of going to a horror movie--"She'll get scared, lean in, open her mouth to scream, and your tongue will just get sucked in with the jet stream."--earns him the nickname "Brain" from Brett. Evan thinks he's set for being popular, until Archie, the boy with the terminal illness threatens to make his life a living hell. Archie also likes Kendra and blackmails Evan into getting him a date with her. Unfortunately, he makes the mistake of setting up a date for Brett and Kendra, and Archie - on the same night, at the Bloodmaster! Side drama: Evan asks Patrice out to the movies, too, but he totally ignores her because they can't interact in front of the cool kids. After the Bloodmaster, everything goes wrong. Patrice, Archie, Brett, and the whole school are all mad at him. Now he thinks he's gotta fix everything if he wants his Bar Mitzvah to be an awesome party. But does that matter more than his true friends?=====
