Book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson. First produced off-Broadway in 2001. Produced at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London in 2005. "Tick Tick Boom! confirms that Larson was a major talent" Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

Winner of the Outer Critics Circle award for Best off-Broadway musical in 2001 and seen in a super production at the Menier Chocolate Factory in 2005, TICK, TICK... BOOM! is a musical about the courage it takes to follow your dreams.    This is Jonathan Larson's (author of RENT, pictured right) autobiographical (and posthumously produced) tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and falling into oblivion. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city (TICK,), his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue (TICK...), yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical (BOOM!). Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, TICK, TICK... BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer's journey that led to the Broadway blockbuster, RENT. Set in 1990, this traditional book musical is filled with instantly appealing melodies, and a unique blend of pop and musical theatre styles. Everyone, regardless of age, will love this youthful, endearing, and thoughtful piece, and will surely embrace the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life's most difficult challenges.
