Second Chance (musical)

Second Chance (musical)

Second Chance is a rock opera conceived by Stéphane Prémont and Frédérick Desroches about high schoolers not-so-easy life. The central character, Johnny, sees his life turn sour because of rumors, betrayal and bad communication. The story deals with suicide, anorexia, drugs and teen pregnancy. It is based on his first play entitled "Holding Out for Hero", presented in 1994. He started composing the musical version of the show in 2008, and the finished product was ready later that year, in August. The original run started on March 15, 2009. A french production opened in February 2010 at the Quebec City Salle Dina-Belanger. It was the first professional production of the show.

Stéphane Prémont recently received the "Personnel Engagé" Prize at the "Forces Avenir" gala presented June 14, 2008 at the Capitole's Cabaret in Quebec City.
