Previews: URINETOWN at MAD Theatre Of Tampa
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Jun 11, 2024

In today's politically charged climate, URINETOWN mirrors society's extremes. Director Cory Boyas encourages his young performers to delve into the material's political themes, reflecting, 'We are a divided country... so how can we not engage with it?' He sees the musical as representing the ideological spectrum, where 'Urinetown parallels this dynamic quite nicely.'

BWW Review: TICK,TICK...BOOM! Is as Powerful as Ever at Spanish Lyric Theatre/S.L.T. Productions
by Drew Eberhard - May 1, 2022

Over the course of the last 26 years somewhere along the line of learned history in the depths of musical theatre you have heard the name Jonathan Larson, synonymous with the 1996 Rock musical RENT that changed the face of musical theatre in its time. Boasting a rock score and groundbreaking storylines such as the rise of the AIDS epidemic sweeping the country, RENT was unlike anything in its conception. However, Jonathan Larson and his stamp on modern musical theatre came into fruition before RENT. Trying to establish himself in the live theatre arena since the early 1980s, Larson began performing his Semi-Autobiographical Rock Musical Tick, Tick...Boom! in the early 90’s as a solo piece. Tragically Jonathan Larson passed away in 1996 of a rare heart condition before he was able to feel the immense magnitude of his fame.
