Before the revolutionary rock musical RENT, Pulitzer -prize winner Jonathan Larson had another story to tell - his own. After his sudden death in 1996, Larson's one-man musical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 years old and worried about falling into oblivion was re-shaped by Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright David Auburn into tick, tick…BOOM! A youthful, endearing and thoughtful musical look at the courage it takes to follow your aspirations through life's most difficult challenges.

The cast includes Adrian Aguilar (Jon), Jenny Guse (Susan) and Bear Bellinger (Michael). Understudies are Zach Spound (Jon), Kendra Rose Lyons (Susan) and Brian-Alwyn Newlands (Michael).

The band is Diana Lawrence (conductor/keyboard), Mike Przygoda (guitar), Jim Barclay (drums), Jake Saleh (bass) and Nick Davio (conductor/keyboard alternate).

The design team features Ann Davis, set designer; Greg Hofmann, lighting designer; Joseph Fosco, sound designer; Jesus Perez, costume designer, Anna Henson, co-projection designer; Davonte Johnson, co-projection designer and Jill Yetsky, production stage manager.
