Before RENT there was tick, tick…BOOM!
Just prior to the opening night of RENT in New York City, its creator and composer Jonathan Larson tragically passed away before getting to witness his masterpiece. Before RENT, Larson had created another musical, tick, tick…BOOM! and just like his Tony Award-winning smash hit, it was another piece of genius he left behind.
The year is 1990 and a promising young composer is grappling with a career as an artist, whilst staring down turning 30 in New York City. Whilst being torn between fear and love, he faces one of life’s greatest questions… What do we do with the time we have?
A love letter to theatre tick, tick…BOOM! is a hidden treasure of Broadway, that will inspire anyone who’s had to fight for what they want!
Recently developed into a film by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda the show contains fourteen songs, ten characters and a live onstage band, tick, tick…BOOM! takes you on the journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.
Produced by Storeyboard Entertainment (CHESS) and directed by Tyran Parke with music direction by Kohan van Sambeeck, tick, tick…BOOM! guarantees you a night at the theatre you will never forget!
Larson’s songs thrum with intense feeling, larky humour and musical vitality.
