“Jonathan Larson was a close friend and a frequent collaborator of mine,” says David Saint. “We developed a few pieces together, including three iterations of this show. Each time with a different title, beginning with Boho Days, then 30/90, and finally tick, tick…BOOM! After his tragic and premature death, I have always missed him and am haunted by all the great work he might have gone on to create. In that spirit, I now look back on this friendship, one that I cherish deeply, and hope to honor his talent and legacy with this production.”
tick, tick...BOOM! is the captivating musical masterpiece by the late, great Jonathan Larson. Set in the bustling streets of New York City, tick, tick...BOOM! is an electrifying production that ignites the stage with raw emotion and unyielding passion.
Follow the journey of Jon (Daniel Marconi), a struggling composer on the brink of turning 30, as he wrestles with the haunting pressures of artistic ambition and the relentless ticking of time.
With an energetic and eclectic score that seamlessly blends rock, pop, and musical theater, tick, tick...BOOM! pulses with vibrant melodies and poignant lyrics. It's a celebration of the human spirit, a battle cry for anyone who has ever dared to chase their dreams, and a heartfelt tribute to Larson's own artistic journey.
