Disney+ has announced the filmed version of the Off-Broadway stage production “Trevor: The Musical” will debut on Friday, June 24 exclusively on the streaming service. “Trevor: The Musical,” produced by RadicalMedia, follows a charming 13-year-old on a turbulent journey of self-discovery. After an embarrassing incident at school, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path. The musical is based on the 1995 Academy Award-winning short film “Trevor” which ultimately inspired the nonprofit organization The Trevor Project; the world’s largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people.
