Drive Thru Teen Edition©
One unstoppable girl. One silver-spoon boy. Two rival drive thrus. Total drama.
A brand-new ‘80s-fueled musical packed with high-energy original songs, over-the-top rivalries, and an epic love story.
Nikki has sacrificed a normal teenage life to help her family’s diner survive. Homemade burgers, heart, and hustle are all they’ve got to take on the shiny, soulless fast-food empire that just opened next door.
Across the drive-thru lane? Chad—the spoiled but restless heir to the enemy. He’s never flipped a burger in his life, but when he locks eyes with Nikki, things heat up faster than the fryer.
But love isn’t the only thing on the line—a ruthless landowner is cooking up a scheme to shut them both down. Now, these unlikely allies must fight for their families, their future, and a chance to rewrite the rules.
With class clashes, high-stakes drama, and killer ‘80s jams, Drive Thru serves up a neon-lit, coming-of-age love story with a recipe for disaster.
