Jason Robert Brown’s musical “13” came with a ready-made hook: It was the first (and so far, the only) Broadway musical to be performed entirely by teenagers right down to the band. That juiced up its simple story of middle school drama with some endearing, energetic novelty value. Yet while Netflix’s new adaptation of the 2008 stage show keeps the talented tweens, it loses most of its magic in translation.
