Tick, Tick...Boom!

Before Rent, there was Tick, Tick... Boom!

This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Tick, Tick... Boom! takes you on the playwright and composer's journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.

A ticking can be heard.... It is the sound of one man's mounting anxiety. That man is Jon. He's a promising composer whose agent won't return his calls, who is barely affording the rent on his apartment at the edge of SoHo and who is on the verge of turning thirty.

Jon’s girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue and, yet, Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical.

Set in 1990, this compelling story of personal discovery is a rock musical embracing the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life's most difficult challenges.
