His voice is realistic, though sometimes he sounds a little older than 13. He's a hale and hearty kid who has a dream and he's going to go for it, no matter what. Maybe.īetter Nate Than Ever is narrated by Nate and he is a really wonderful, unique character. The bus ride could have gone better, but once Nate arrives in Manhattan, he is in love with the city despite the sudden rain storm the guy who sells him some ill-fitting hip hop clothes so he can be dry for his audition being told he needs a guardian if he is under 18 in order to audition and running into Jordan Rylance, who went to the Performing Arts School in Pittsburgh with Libby and a few more obstacles, setbacks and surprises.Īnd just when it feels like Nate and Libby's plan is for sure going downhill, along comes the family black sheep, Aunt Heidi, to send Nate back to Jankburg on the bus.
Easy peasy! After all, he and Libby have rehearsed everything over and over should something go wrong.Īnd lots of things do go wrong, but Nate perseveres. Nate's parents are away for the weekend, trying to spark the dying ember of their almost dead marriage and Nate's been left in the hands of totally disinterested, "girl addicted" brother Anthony, 16, who wants him to spend the night at Libby's.Īrmed with old unreliable Nokia cell phone, his mother's ATM card, and Libby's support, Nate gets on the Greyhound bus to NYC. Nate will take the Greyhound bus to NYC, go to the audition, snag the role of Elliot, then hop back on the bus to Jankburg so he can be home before anyone notices he's gone. Nate and Libby put their heads together and soon hatch a plan. the Musical? The only trouble is the Nate lives in western Jankburg, PA and Broadway is in NYC. So naturally, when they learn that there is an open casting call for a new Broadway musical, and that auditions are to be held on a weekend, Nathan is elated.
For Nate Foster, 13, and his best friend Libby, musical theater is everything.
