Where the Noise Becomes Music!
A 17-year-old with ADHD learns to turn her racing mind into music—and discovers her voice, her people, and her power.
All at Once! is a contemporary pop musical about Jules Chen, a brilliant, big-hearted 17-year-old whose ADHD makes the world feel loud, fast, and wildly alive. When school pressures and family expectations collide, Jules stumbles into a support group that reframes "distraction" as creative capacity.
With encouragement from her steady lab partner Derek, counselor Sam, facilitator Dr. Vasquez, and designer-mentor Maya (plus Maya's disarmingly honest daughter Emma), and college student Marcus—a fellow creative learning to reclaim his confidence after academic failure—Jules learns to harness "hyperfocus" as artistry rather than flaw.
At home, parents Linda and David shift from worry to advocacy; at school, rigid teacher Mr. Hendricks becomes a measure of the system Jules is outgrowing. Across propulsive, hook-forward songs—"Seventeen Directions," "What If There's Nothing Wrong with Me," "Hyperfocus Magic," "Chosen Family," "All at Once!" and the finale "Where the Noise Becomes Music,"—Jules finds her voice, her people, and a way to turn the noise into music.
The show celebrates neurodiversity, first love, and chosen community with warmth and momentum.
