- Senioritis is a musical comedy about today's high schools, set in the very competitive world American education has become, satirizing all the many elements that lead to so-called "senioritis." Today's teenagers suffer anxiety about their relationships, parents, grades, college applications, and ambitions for the future.

Things go madly awry when the seniors get wise to the experiment and decide to get even by having the worst case of "senioritis" in history. The seniors put on a "high school mythical" about senioritis and become global sensations. Whether that will be enough to rescue their future is tough to say...
