Come see Nutley Little Theatre's production of Tick, Tick... BOOM! – the musical that paved the way for the three-time Tony Award-winning RENT. The show tells the story of an aspiring composer named Jon, who lives in New York City in 1990. In the last few days before his 30th birthday, Jon worries that he's taken the wrong path in life. Tick, Tick... BOOM! is a semi-autobiographical piece which Larson performed as a solo act. Following his untimely death at just 35, it was revised by playwright David Auburn and premiered Off-Broadway in 2001. Directed by L.A. Mars and music directed by Hannah Elarmo, NLT's production of Tick, Tick... BOOM! is double-cast. Want the full experience? See both casts in their takes on Jon, Susan, and Michael. Cast: Niko Lento and Tom Kiely as Jon, Asuka Kimura and Betty Mack as Susan, Cooper Mendonssa and Micheal Johnson as Michael. Crew: L.A.
