This meta-theater experiment attempts to excavate how, in the aftermath of slavery, we might continue moving through history together.
“Ridiculous Fun... Safety Not Guaranteed has an appealingly indie sound and an elemental goofiness. The audience exits the BAM Strong on a high. Outside, I caught myself humming.”
—The New York Times
“Safety Not Guaranteed clocks a win. Ryan Miller and Nick Blaemire’s heartwarming and laugh-inducing musical offers a lively score, six great performances, and a helluva good time.”

If you could go back in time, what would you change?
Would you tell someone how you really feel?
Kiss your crush?
Make a friend?
Save the world?
If you’ve ever wished for a second chance, Safety Not Guaranteed is your story. Featuring original songs by Guster’s Ryan Miller and a book by Broadway mainstay Nick Blaemire, this new indie-rock musical gets inside your head while it cuts straight to your heart.
Nkeki Obi-Meleweke (Tina—The Tina Turner Musical) is a young journalist who digs into an outrageous classified ad seeking a companion to travel back in time. She’s out to make a name for herself—but is that all she’s after? Taylor Trensch (Dear Evan Hansen) is the secretive loner who placed the ad—but what is he really hiding?
Featuring a vibrant cast of rising stars, directed by two-time Obie Award-winner Lee Sunday Evans (Dance Nation, HOME), this show will make you believe the impossible is within reach.
